    I replaced with Saleen X with a bassani w/o cats. I was completely satisfied. It sounds pretty awesome!

    Another vote for Bassani. Don't know what emission laws are in OR but here they want to see at least a couple of cats. I think the Bassani w/o cats sounds insane with the Magnaflow or Borla cat back. The next best thing is the stainless Bassani with two stainless cats. Only a few horses difference in output and a wee bit quieter but not much. Some of the Bassani's with stainless cats (two of them instead of four) rattle a bit after breaking them in but if yours do Bassani is pretty good about swapping them out. The best quality by far. :D

    I installed the Bassani a couple of weeks ago and love it. It's a bit loud but that's relative of course. I have a vert so that's likely part of the issue. Check ebay for good deals but check your part number first.

    You guys are convincing me to go with the bassani x-pipe with 2 cats and possibly their mid-length headers.Are the mid-length headers street legal?I will have to pass emissions here in OR.

    Forget about the headers in OR if you have to pass emmisions. There can be some noticeable gains with the mid lengths on blown cars but are a **** to install.
