Has anyone used the stock Ford cats on a full Bassani exhaust system to solve the problem of the junk cats that come with the system?

 

Rene,
I have heard of this done, there was no loss and no gain in performance I think I recall that it was a tiny bit quieter.

 

I have the Bassani headers and cat backs. They work fine and the sound is great not to loud but a good deep rumble. Perfornace may have picked up a few hundreths but no real noticable gain.

I don't know about the gain in performance yet since I haven't dynoed it, but it sure sounds awesome as hell now. I haven't had a problem with mine and I bought the entire kit, headers back. Some people said the rattling is from the heat sheilds not being welded all the way across, I do think they should have done that for $1800.00.

She has allot of toys on her.

Rene,
My Bassani cats are crap, thinking about welding the old stock ones back on. Spiro said he bought Catco's from Summit and was very happy. I might go that way instead, just haven't made up my mind.
