2011 GT Bassani Race Axle Back and Lethal O/R X Pipe
Here's a quick clip of my exhaust. It's just a start up and rev video.
I'll have to get a flyby video soon.
I installed my GT500 rear valance this morning, so this is the first shot showing it off as well as the GT500 spoiler.

Nothing from the axle back, but I did a tune, intake, and x pipe at the same time.
It's a performance increase for sure, but not to big. I wouldn't be surprised to see less than 10 hp from the x pipe.

Sounds awesome. Tough choice on the color for myself. It was either Kona Blue or Black. Went with Black. However, as far as exhaust goes. It is not a tough choice. Bassani has the best natural V8 sound. All others fall by the wayside. Good choice on everything. Good luck.

Any drone with the system?

That's an interesting observation. Having listened to a bunch of different exhausts, I've always thought that Magnaflow and Bassani had the two deepest sounds at idle. If anything, Magnaflow might even be a little deeper than Bassani. At WOT, they sound very different. The Magnaflow sounds a lot raspier, where the Bassani maintains a smoother sound, as you noted. I'm planning to go with the full Bassani setup (headers + x-pipe + catback exhaust) once my 2012 GT vert gets here.
