Yes, that is a good price for both. And I highly recommend both of these mods, for whatever that is worth smile. I have had my B&M since April and love it!

It takes a little while to get used to, you may regret it for about the first week, but then you get used to it and can't imagine going back!

What is the sound of the exhaust I am worried I will be called "ricer" or something. I have always had high performance cars 2 mustangs. with flowmaster so I like that sound. But I have never hear this car with anything but stick.

It gets a litlle raspy when not warmed up, but once the temp gauge hits its normal po9int it is all good smile. I am assuimg you are planning on removing the resonator tips then. No rice sound in my opinion, I know most would agree with me too.

Well last time Eric came over to my house and we Removed his Door Dings,
Every time he started that Damn Car i Got Jealous. of Course It was Rather hard to hear after Merlin Fired up his 5.0

But as for being a rice sound...FAR from it.
I thought the stock exhaust was one of the better sounding Production cars i had heard, until I heard Eric's Car.

It's not to loud, not too quiet, but has a Great tone to it.

Definately Go for it if you can get it.

If you want soemthing that sounds similar to the Bassani, but with it's own exhaust note, why don't you look into the system that "Cardoc" has developed? I know he's a Forum memeber and he is selling his own custom system for 350$ for Aluminized, and 500$ for the Stainless....it's a true dual exhaust, BTW. just my 2 cents smile

I ended up putting the order in for the exhaust. I wish I would have known about this true dual earlier that is what I was relly looking for. Ohh well. I think I will be happy with the bassani. I haveheard good things about it. Thanks for the info guys. I also found out my number to I am 4 of 2760. Maybe that is why I am having some troubles with it laugh

707, unless Cardoctor has changed his exhaust it is not a true dual. Basically it is a single until the resonator location where a one into two Vortex muffler splits it into a quasi dual. Most people say they like the sound but it would not be expected to increase power. Further, another concern is lack of Mandrel bends on that exhaust, which MAY (?) be costing some power - though to my knowlege nobody has dynoed it. I think you will be happy with the Bassani.

OK good I hope I made the right decision. The census is that I did make the right one. Thanks. I should be getting it in about a week to 10 days. I can't wait to get that put on.
