Bassani Cat-Back System

Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
2006 Mustang GT

Summary:
The drone it makes between 1600 and 2000 RPM is almost unbearable. I wish I had purchased a less expensive, better engineered system.

Strengths:
Easy to Install and fit well.

Weaknesses:
The booming drone! Did I mention the drone?

Summary:
Installed this on my wife's GT with a MAC pro-chamber. Awesome, true Mustang sound!
She gets compliments everywhere we go. The silly Hondas don't mess with her anymore.
Haven't dyno'd since the install but I'm guessing +15 HP without a tune.
I'll likely put this system on my Cobra.

Strengths:
Incredible sound, passed VA inspection, MIL eliminators worked as advertised. Heads turn wherever you go.

Weaknesses:
Took this car on a 2,000 mile road trip. At around 2300 RPM for hours on end it get's old. Purchase ear plugs.
Still worth it.

Summary:
After being assured by the sales rep at Bassani that the tone would be deeper NOT louder I purchased a cat-back system.The resonance inside the truck is unblievable.When I complained to the rep,he asked me if Iwould have purchased from him if he had been honest andIwas lucky as the 5.0 mustang system is worse.

Strengths:
What strengths?

Weaknesses:
1)LOUD drone in vehicle,2)2 piece tail pipe quickly perforated at slip-joint,3)4"dia.extention is ugly,4)customer service is shocking.

Custom made by a local shop,less expensive too.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
The exhaust extensions are too big for the PT Cruisers anbd they have a drone when you mildly try to pick up speed on Highway. With the resonators out they are way too loud for comfortable driving.

Strengths:
none

Weaknesses:
Drone and size
