Bassani or Magnaflow?

Which catback is louder? It might be a coin toss because Bassani's are on sale with free shipping so they are ALMOST the price of a Magnaflow stainless setup. What is the preference here? Will I lose any HP with either? Thanks for any advice... Jeff

I'm personally VERY happy with my Bassani setup. Perfect sounding, not too loud on idle, but at WOT will roar with the best of em. Bassani incredibly high quality and I wouldn't go back for nothin!

BTW: If you buy the Bassani cat-back go from JL Performance
www.johnnylightningperf.com
The system is selling for $635 there.

Truckperformance.com has it on sale for less than $640 with FREE shipping. NO I am not a sales rep for them. BTW, I bought my bassani catback from Mark at LFP, and he gives top rate service.

Well in my opinion, if you are going to be buying an exhaust system you might want to think about JDM. I have the complete Bassani exhaust system with the coated shorty headers on my truck and the whole thing is coming off for the new JDM full exhaust. I do love the sound of the Bassani full exhaust and the quality was great, but if you want the power to go with it too, get the JDM full exhaust. The best and only way to go in my opinion. You should contact Jim at JDM either way because if your mind is made up on the Bassani, I am sure you could get a good deal on my full take off Bassani exhaust.

I'm not sure anyone has the magnaflow catback yet (release some time in february). I'm not even sure if they started shipping them yet. I ordered one from truckperformance.com and they told me 4-6 weeks, so I cancelled it and got the bassani. It sounds awesome!!!!
