Is Bassani worth 200 dollars more than Magnaflow

I am in the market for a catback exhaust. The Bassani and Magnaflow both sound good when you read what the companies say about them. Is the Bassani $200 better than the magnaflow or should I get the magnaflow and save the money? I am most interested in having a nice deep sound.

So am I correct to assume that you feel Bassani is the best bet for what I am looking for?

Or it could be a constant reminder that you payed more.

gee, this post went just as I thought before I even opened the thread.

The Bassini owners recommended bassinis and the magnaflow owners recommended ....drum roll please...magnaflow.

I have the mag and I love it, but the best thing for you to do since your in Florida is listen to both (I am sure that with all the Florida meets that would not be a problem) and decide which one you like.

Who cares what I think sounds good. Its your L.

But in mags defense, the $200 could go toward something that actually makes the L as fast as it will now sound, because just a cat-back won't do that.

Good luck and enjoy either way.

If you do decide Bassini then the Chikenman is the one I suggest you buy from , if its the mag then JDM.

I've had both. The Bassani sounds better TO ME. But as above it is a personal preference. If you want a deep tone and less interior noise and resonance then Bassani is the way to go. If you want a good sound, little louder, and don't care if it's loud inside the truck then the Magnaflow works great and you can spend the saved money on something else.
