Which X-Pipe?

[alfman9]

I am going to get a catted x-pipe for my car and don't know which to get. I think I have narrowed it down to either the Bassani or Magnaflow. What do you guys think?

 

[Blev]

Magnaflow.

 

[CatmanJJ]

Magnaflow has treated me well. I've heard people having problems with their cats on Bassani X pipes, that might be old news by now though.

Did you read the review section(top right corner) of screen? Many opinions there.

 

[lx2539]

You should look into bbk!

 

[GinoGT]

Magnaflow.

A word of warning: Many people have had problems getting a good seal on the driver's side manifold when installing an aftermarket midpipe because of this stupid "shoulder" Ford put on the manifold studs. While you're swapping the midpipe, I would put some new studs in (from NAPA, can't remember the part number, something like 600-1819) so you don't have to go back in and do it all over again.

i have a bbk o/r x-pipe and love it! heard that with maganaflow you will have to bend to fit it, but not sure but i love bbk.....

 

[GinoGT]

Mine fit perfectly.

 

[CatmanJJ]

Mine fit perfectly.

Same both on my GT and Mach 1

 

[BLKVERT]

Mine fit perfectly.

Ditto.....great mid-pipe.

Personally i like my slp x pipe. It fits great is stainless and i can remove the cats at the track in about 10 min.

 

[Blev]

Mine fit perfectly.

fit was great and went in easy. Took a little over an hour to install. Hardest part was getting the damn passenger side nuts off.

STAY AWAY FROM BASSANI!!!

I would go with magnaflow or SLP, both are quality pipes. Bassani is TERRIBLE, cats will burn out fast!

 

[KaPPaBaLL]

damn, what's wrong with bassani?

 

[SonicB]

magnaflow's quality is very good.

honestly though you don't need it yet.

bump the timing and get gears before the mid-pipe.

 

[hognutz]

vrs or maganflow. I would avoid the bassani midpipe.

 

[JonJon]

magnaflow

I have 4.10s, but no timing adjustment. Would it be worth it for me to get a catted magnaflow x-pipe now?

my opinion is no.

here's a link to consider

an x-pipe now will cause you to rev more freely in other words a loss of torque

I have BBK O/R X-Pipe...no complaints thus far.
