Wow...I'm surprised. My Bassanis don't seem to have much drone at all - only in a limited RPM range in high gear. I absolutely love them!!!

 

I also have an automatic and feel the drone probably is worse with it.

I have also tried turning off the OD under 50 mph. It does help.

 

IMO the brief time I hear a drone (low RPM in 5th gear) is completely overshadowed by how great they sound at all other times.

 

I can buy new for 475 shipped!

 

I just bought the Bassani SS Comp/Cat with x-pipe from Ninosport. Got the website discount. Thanks Brad.

Finally pulled the trigger. Getting married in a couple of weeks, and I will have to pull teeth to get headers.

 

Which headers you going with? Bassani doesn't have any for the 05 yet but they will soon.

I will wait for the Bassani, now that I will have Bassani from the tailpipe back.

 

Mark,
I just checked out your gallery and your car looks great.

You have a 5spd and aggressive exhaust, do you down shift when you start to hear the growl or drone? I would think the manual t's don't have the same problem as the AT.

BTW are you planning any engine dress-up? The only thing I've done under the hood is the hood lifts from Redlinetuning. I would like to get the mirrored radiator cover from cal-mustang.

My first engine dress up was painting all of the bolt ends flat Red. I do not like the mirrored radiator cover, too much chrome IMO. I may buy some chrome caps to things though.

I also want to paint my covers flat red as well.

Once I get headers my engine area will look sweet. I hope Bassani coats them with ceramics.

As for the drone, I downshift sometimes. depends on what speed and such.

 

The only one I see from cal-mustang is this one for $259.95

Before you spend that kind of money check out Blow By Racing's radiator cover, its only $79.95

Well - Had the Magnaflows installed today. What a difference. Sounds throaty under load, but absolutely no drone.

The Bassanis are great for people that want an deep and loud sound.

Its a personal preference, so to each his own.

I also notice that the back pressure (so to speak) increased with the magnaflow so that my "quickness" is back. When I had the Bassanis on it seemed I could press the acceleration and had to build up to the "pressure" to kick into gear.

Note I have an auto transmission.

I'm interested in hearing anyones experiences with both Bassani and Magnaflow.

 

Thanks a lot. I was waiting because the price was sick. I will check it out.
