Sorry to hear that Dustin. I know it can be frustrating when you try to do your research ahead of time and spend good money on something for it not to perform as expected.
I had toss up when I did my CB and it was between Bassani,
Magnaflow and
Borla. I went with the
Borla because it had less parts and less connection points. So far they have been great.
Have you tried to contact Bassani? With their heavy involvement into the racing circut, I'm sure they might be willing to help you out. I have met Darryl Bassani at a NMRA event before and he was a pretty cool guy. He was cooking hamburgers for everyone. LOL... Try giving them a call.
