Question SO....what's the verdict?

I have heard tons of posts about "Just got my bassani exhaust in"...but haven't heard any after those telling how you all like them after driving a thousand miles or so. Any seat of the pants difference? Is the sound just too annoying? I actually like the sound of my '69 cobra...you have to yell over it, and I think that's cool.

I'll be getting a lump sum of around $2000 bucks in a few months, and since I have Sal's Chip, and filter kit on the way (I hope he got the order...haven't heard from him) I was deciding on the Bassani exhaust, or an upgrade for the stereo system. Hard decision, so if any bassani owners wanna give me thier opinion...

I'd also like the opinion of any MTX thunderform owners...how does it sound...is it worth the money? what's it like? Thanks.

Hey Atomheart,

I ordered the PSP full meal deal Sunday night from Sal, and I also haven't heard a thing? I've been tring to call him at home for the last 2 weeks, maybe he's on vacation or just really, really busy.

I see that you are thinking about replacing your stereo also. I wanted a MD/CD version, now just waiting for the EQ, stupid 1.5 din stock system.

Let us know if you hear from Sal, please.

Guys,

I just recieved my filter and chip from Sal. I waited about three to four weeks for the filter kit and about 7 days before it was sent ordered the chip. Believe me it is worth the wait.

Be patient Sal will get it to you.

Cool

AtomHeart:

If you get the full enchilada Bassani, you won't have to worry about upgrading the stereo. It is fair for loud!

Atomheart,
Just finished installing the Bassani system.All I could say is WOW what a sound this baby sounds incredible.Sounds like a big-block . I must agree with Bill this is a loud system. Sounds alot better than my 2-chamber flows. I never expected it to sound so Awesome.I purchased the cat pipes and cat-back only. I have not decided with which header I will be using.As far as power increase, I do feel it but won`t know for sure until tomorrow night at the track.
