Bassani Warranty

Can anyone tell me why Bassani voids the warranty on the x-pipe if the 3 sections are welded together? My shop told me it would leak if it wasn't welded, so I told them to go ahead and weld it.

Just wondering, I'm not too concerned about the warranty, 90 days isn't that big a deal. If they stood behind their product, they would offer a

2 year warranty at least.

Hey John,

I was wondering the same thing since I just had a Bassani X pipe installed last week in my car. All welded in I might add. It was a great addition to the car as well. I am looking forward to hearing other peoples responses to this post.

I was surprised at how little the sound of the exhaust changed inside of the car. It did change a little, but not $450 worth.

I do notice an increase in power.

After having the x-pipe in for a week, I ordered the cat back exhaust from Bassani. It just wasn't enough vroom for me.

Expensive though, ouch.

Hey Kate,

Personally I think it was a good addition. Since I live in NJ where they are really cracking down on vehicle inspections, I went with the X pipe with the cats. As for the sound, It completely changed from the stock H pipe. Sounds more on the lines of a Ferrari or Lambo to compare. Since I have driven a

355 Spyder and a Diablo, I can come to that conclusion about the comparison. At normal highway speeds, it is about the same sound wise as before since you are not up in the power band and you are low in the RPM curve. The car definitely breathes easier as you can here the air being sucked in through the cold air intake much more over the stock H pipe. As for a power increase, I feel a little more in the mid and for sure more power above the 5k range. I think I would like to change my gears to 3.73 gears, get a higher flow Mass air meter and some sort of custom tuned chip such as the Diablosport. Any suggestions in the are would be appreciated.

Regards,

Steve

That's the reasoning Bassani gave me. Mine leaks a little, though, so I'm thinking about having it welded. As far as sound goes, I have mine matched to the quiet thunder cat-back, and it's pretty bad when you get on it. I'm not really too fond of the sound at idle though...it's almost as if the cats are crackiling or something. Wonder if magnaflow has the same sound?
