Just an interesting fact that I never knew. Most of you are probably laughing at me because you already knew this... lol Anyhow, I thought it was worth mentioning!

The R is pretty much all aftermarket man.

04-01-2002, 10:46 PM

I know that its mostly aftermarket, my point is that its a BASSANI product. Its just my BASSANI bias!!

esandes · 04-01-2002, 11:31 PM

ah ok. I can't wait to install my Bassani X pipes and cat backs. There are so many good reviews on them.

No need to be sarcastic bro, these message boards are meant for fun!

esandes · 04-02-2002, 11:25 AM

I'm not being sarcastic. I really have Bassani's...the snow is the only thing stopping me from installing them. I bought them because everyone likes them...the sound...the looks.

Are we still having fun? <---That was sarcastic!

Hey dude, I guess I took it the wrong way. The combo of the Bassani X pipe w/cats and the Bassani Cat back is awesome for performance and sound....you wont be disappointed. That sucks you have to deal with the snow, I live in sunny southern Califormia.

Actually the Cobra R just has the 'X' section of the "X-pipe", it retains the stock Cobra 4 cat arrangment.

Not everyone...personally I think they are raping everyone with their prices and quality. I've heard so many bad things about their cats failing over and complaints about their raspy sound. The sound issue isn't an X pipe issue it's a bassani issue, my VRS X pipe sounds perfect.

Is this a RECENT issue with BASSANI or do you feel the quality has always been bad? You seem to your your stuff!! By the way, what do you exactly mean by "raspy"??

Been hearing complaints off and on for the last year on the boards. Raspy meaning a tinny sounding exhaust kind of like a ferrari I suppose.

Bassani makes QUALITY cat back systems IMO. I have read all positive remarks about their cat back systems. Have you heard anything negative about their cat back systems, or was it just X pipe issues that were bad?

The raspy,tinny, Ferrari sound the Bassani systems produce is how they always sound. They just sound European. Which is why I won't buy them. I personally don't like the way they sound. They are too high pitched and they don't have that old school muscle car sound like Flows do. As for Bassani's quality, I've always heard good things about their products. But they for sure sre way too expensive.

The Bassani cat back system doesnt sound raspy or tinny, its sounds muscular. When I installed the Bassani X w/cats, thats what killed it...it totally changed the tone of the exhaust so I yanked it right off. Now, I have to find a buyer!

vtec8ter · 04-09-2002, 06:15 AM

on the new cobra type R you cant really even hear the exhaust. its fuel system is SOOO loud. for all the money you spend on that car, you could make an ordinary cobra alot faster.

The Bassani cat back does sound good. It is their cat pipes that I'am talking about. as for the R, It's definitley the best factory 'Stang ever (Soon to be surpassed by '03 Snake) but IT"S A HUGE RIP OFF. With the R, you are paying too much just for exclusiveness, not performance. Hell, you get roll up windows, no A/C (no problem with there), and no radio. You could make a 'regular' Cobra way faster for less or even a GT.
