Complete Bassani Exhaust installed
Well the UPS truck dropped off my Bassani exhaust Friday and I installed it on Saturday. It took me about 10 hrs to do the complete system, I did it in my home garage with basic tools. The headers took the most time with the drivers side being the most time consuming, you don't have a lot of room to work. Anyway I videoed a short clip in my garage of how the stock exhaust sounded and then i did another one with the Bassani exhaust installed. I think that the Bassani sounds awesome and I just came home from a short ride and people can definitely hear the lightning now. 
I will post some pics here on the system and if anyone wants to hear the before and after you can E-mail me and I will send them to you. wjaynes@maine.rr.com

You're right
I put all the Bassani stuff on there real easy, I didn't want to lay it all out on the floor and it seemed like a good spot.
The interior is a part as I pulled the stereo out to put in my toyota truck

Cool Bassani stuff, and cool MR2!!
10hr install isn't bad. I'm pretty adept with wrenches, so that doesn't bother me. I would be very curious in actual power improvement from doing the entire exhaust like you did.
Have you ever raced the truck or dyno'd it?

I have never had the Lightning dynoed so I couldn't tell you horse power gains. I have run the truck a few times and it runs pretty consistant 13.20 at 105mph. That was without the Bassani exhaust and on stock F1'S

Nice Bill! How long did you have to wait for your Bassani goodies? Apparently Gen 2 stuff is on back order, I've been waiting for 2 months and counting.
