so know i am going to order the bassani dumps system(mine as well each muffler is 100.00 anywyas and the system is 250 plus shipping and comes with flowtubes)

i just want to make sure since the desugn is near identical

Well, their real street muffler is one of the loudest mufflers out there. I haven't heard many Bassani kits in person but from what i've seen online they seem a little too mellow toned to me...loud, but mellow.

Do you have any sound clips on that Bassani Real Street muffler?

I have looked into their race mufflers, as well as Borla Stingers, but have yet to find anyone else running them.

well what are these?

i better go with flows if i want to be safe huh? i cant afford another pypes sound again! this is it so what should i order....
i could also order the mac dumps system and be satisifed, but that yellow 96 gt is the closest 4.6 mocker IMO....it seems bassani has that hallow bounce coming off the walls of the muffler that the 4.6 is notorious for btw i love mellow now after hearing what i call "JUST LOUD NOISE PYPES"! i want mellow TONE vs. v8 crackle

ps. you cant tell me that white cobra which is almost identical to my motor...does not sound like a 4.6 when it starts light reving/rolling away...

Just get MAC and be done with it. Dumps FTL by the way. Dumps suck and have soooo much drone.

would it be safe to say bassani is capable pf being more mellow/more tone than mac or prochambered..despite the str8 through vs. chambered?
im going out on a limb and saying this is the best sounding 5.0 ive hard on youtube (note:IMO)

That white Cobra sounds okay, nothing special and nothing 4.6ish to me. Mines raspier than that!

Bassani mufflers are hybrid mufflers. Performance of a straight through muffler and the tone and loudness of a chambered muffler. I have run Bassani on both my Fox and the Mach I had. They are anything but mellow.

And I dont know why everyone is calling them "Real Street" mufflers....lol. They make 3: Quite Thunder, which does not come in their catback anymore. You have to special order them from Bassani if you want them.Street Competition, which comes in their catback with tailpipes and finally the Race version which comes with turndowns.

Only heard the Race version in person once and it is loud!! Real loud! And that was on a stock H/C/I Fox.

What I suggest and this is what I have done, is to purchase the "Street Competition" catback and don't put the tail pipes on. Don't dump it, but let them blow free. It sounds awesome. I'll make you a soundclip if you want me too, just let me know.

5.0 Magnaflow Exhaust 93 GT- Video

I would make a exhaust video of mine but my car is in the process of being torn down for a engine rebuild. Ill get a soundclip up as soon as i am done tho.

YouTube - 1994 Mustang Svt Cobra 5.0 Exhaust-- Bassani

i really like this ^ best ive heard of the 5.0. in my opinion the thing is
i have gt40 heads and intake, stock cam and i dont know what bassani mufflers those are and im afraid it wont sound like that......i dont want loud loud like i have now. i want the hallow echo sound without no tin! basically a muffler that will eliminate the x pipes rasp.also i decided i am going to keep the x so thats not the answer.lol
as always i have kept my sights on flows/mac,mags,and bassani...but i would love it if my car sounded just like that white svt.....i emailed the guy on YT and he hasnt written me back

yep i do just want to order muffles..but bassani mufflers are to $$ so i was just going to buy there dump kit.
but flowmasters are cheap like 65 each on ebay. so for less 150 shipped i can have new mufflers that will squeeze right in....i know i will like flows, but the question is will i LOVE flows..those 44's sound sweet though...
