The Bassani 5x8 ovals are a NASCAR ready system
I am trying to get ahold of Mike when time permits, to order 5x11 ovals myself, it is too much for my tasts on 3 hour drives.
I have the true duals made out of a Bassani cat-back for a L.

I have read that the X pipe in the duals will help add the growl at the 2500 RPM range, so maybe part of what I am hearing is the X pipe.
Chidiver just took out his 3"SI/SO Bassani Oval for the same reason, and put in the 5x11 I think.

Straight pipe will do the trick also

I still have the stock cats on, waiting for the warr to run out, prior to doing high flows, as I was also planning on doing kooks long tube headers at the time.

Drop me an email in my profile, I will try to get some sound clips sometime this week of the system, so you can hear for yourself.
Mine are borken in, with ~ 18K miles or so on them. When I first put them on, for the first ~ 8K miles they were not this loud ( or at least they did not seem like it ).

Bassani makes systems for lots of applications, like MagnaFlow does as well. Another option ( at maybe somewhat of a cost savings ) is getting the MagnaFlow 5x8 Ovlas, or the round mufflers ( in 5-6-7" round ), maybe a set of MagnaPacks ?
I am unsure if the 4.6 has 2.25" pipe or 2.5" pipe. If it does have 2.25" pipe, that might limit you to MagnaFlow.

Don't know if you have a brand preference or not. I can't say how the Bassani would compare to the MagnaFlow, I know I got better 60' times and 0-60 was better then the Gibson ST system.
