Bassani Exhaust Install ?

I was wondering is there any special things I need to do to install the bassani midpipes and catback? I looked and no one had the instructions mine did not come with any (bought it used)
Does anyone have a color copy of the instructions to install the midpipes and catback?
Thanks,
Simon

Installing it is the easy part.

Getting the old one off is a bugger.

I used two ratched motorcycle tie down straps.
One from the front tranny brace to a exhaust pipe bracket in front of the muffler and the other around the rear axle to the front of the muffler.
Then tighten it up and use some heat around the U-bolts that hold it all together.

On my 99 I got it off without cutting.
On my 04 I had to take a dremmel and cut a slot through the outer pipe before it would let go.

Then just put on your new X pipe and assemble everything without tightening completly.
Ounce you have everything where you want it, then torque it down. Check again after a few heat, cool, cycles.

You will like the sound. A big improvment over stock without the drone.

Was kind of curious what a used one is going for these days.
I paid full price but it was worth it.

Tighten and then re-tighten. You won't break the clamps. You sure don't want them too loose.
