You'll definitely feel a big difference as I did from the mods i have in my signature. However, if you don't have a aftermarket catback to match up with the bassani x-pipe you might not see all the potential gains from it. It'll feel like a totally different car and much more fun for everyday driving. Why not get 4.10s? You'll need them if you ever want to have a chance againsts a 5-speed with 3.73s. Rpms are only like a matter of 200 rpms from 3.73 to 4.10s so why not get 4.10s and do it right. Gas milage has increased for me as well as it gets my automatic gt convertible down the road quicker with the 4.10s without having to give it so much gas. Anyways, I am sure you'll be happy and if you have any question feel free to ask.

I had checked eBay but there were no Bassani catted X's when I was looking. :doh:

Damn...that's only a few bucks more than a new Bassani o/r X. I noticed that your in So. Cal. too!! You concerned about CA emissions? I'm so close to driving to Hawaii Racing and picking one up this weekend. I'm even kicking around the idea of an o/r pipe and swapping it out when smog time comes up. At any rate, good look with new mods!!!

yeah, here in southern cali. i get pulled over way too much... just because of the car i guess....but i dont want them to pull me over for loud exhaust and then what if they look under the car? and they see no cats? its not worth it to pay $2000 thats a huge as$ ticket :bs: :bang: but plus i like the sound of a catted X better

Holy bumbeling blunders batman, I thought it was 1k....either way that's way too much. I keep forgetting about that aspect of it. The thought of an o/r X is fading away much faster now. :notnice:
