Does ANYONE make a one piece, stainless steel OR X Pipe?

Oldet versions did come as one piece.

I had a catted one piece Bassani. I'm thinking the biggest reason they went to the two piece is to make them more affordable to ship. They can put it in a much smaller box if it is in two pieces.

Also it makes fitment a little easier.

My BBK came as one piece and fit perfectly. I think it is stainless steel...

Nope, BBK doesn't offer any exhaust components in stainless...

Get yourself a elbow (universal joint) from sears. This one cost about $11 and it will make your life a lot easier.

You definately want to make sure the pipes sit close to even on the header flange. Once you get into it and do it you will see that a lot will make sense as you do it and it really is not that difficult. The RTV is up to you. I used run the same type of connection on an H-pipe for over 10 years with no sealant and just a clamp and it never leaked. Good luck and feel free to let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks again man, I think I'll do that.

I took some time last night and wet sanded one of the length of pipes that is part of the Bassani X. Even just using 300 grit, it cleans up nice. I don't really need a high polish on it, but it's something to do. I'm finishing up with some SOS pads...they work well and I know for sure I've got all that coating off. Maybe this time after I get new exhaust put on, I won't have to deal with as much of that burning smell that comes with new exhaust.

I'll post how it all goes...
