Installed my Bassani axle-back today, Not what I expected!

[nyyankee]

Got my axle back today in the mail and installed them I must say Ford made it very easy to swap mufflers. They went in easy but definately are not lined up in the notches of the rear valance. I'm pretty sure I just have to loosen the clamps mid-way under the car then tweak them into the center. I just thought the Bassani would be louder than they were. I listened to this audio clip http://www.sonicbluenirvana.com/funwithbassani.wmv but just didn't think they sounded like this. Maybe it's just the audio is louder when taped. Will they break in and get louder??? I dont need it super loud but they just didn't impress me. I was trying to get close to the sound of my Stangs of the 90's with Flows. What can I do add an H-pipe? Any advice guys.

My Bassani's with JBA long tubes and catted h-pipe were so loud I removed them.

 

[nyyankee]

Well I guess I have to install and H-pipe.

Well, loudness is subjective. The car already has an H-Pipe... I think you just wanted it louder that most.

 

[CALIGRN]

you mean x pipe?

 

[crewwolfy]

I imagine an h-pipe would be louder than an x-pipe. Plus, if he's going for the 90's sounding mustang, the h-pipe is probably the way to go.

I was trying to get close to the sound of my Stangs of the 90's with Flows.:

I don't think you can dupe it
5.0 with flowmasters; mechanical music

Have you seen these muffers before?

Probably need the resonator tips to cut down on the drone. User adjustable to make them quiet w/ full muffler or open it up for full bypass.

It has a factory H pipe, but they make high-flow catted H pipes, and off road h pipes, that make a huge difference.

I have Bassani cats x-pipe and axle back and I love the sound. It has a nice rumble but not to loud at idle and at WOT it's just mean. You can hear it real well here:

If you're unhappy and want to sell, I'll buy the kit from you for the right price.

Off road Bassani X-pipe it is!

 

[alfman9]

I was thinking of these, but now I dont know. They are louder than stock arent they? Are they as loud as the Flowmaster axleback?

 

[I8URVTEC]

At WOT they are loud as hell. At idle they are not loud but sound great. Like a classic muscle car. I can't tell you how many complements I get on them. Click on my link in my earlier post to hear them.

I have a movie of someone with a Bassani x-pipe and Flowmaster 40 series mufflers on their GT. It definitely sounds louder than the movie I have of someone with a Bassani X-pipe and Bassani mufflers.
