Borla Stingers w/ MRT Catted H & Bassani Catted X - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

DSGMachine · 08-28-2008, 09:54 AM

Trying to decide between a catted MRT H or catted Bassani X to go with my Borla's.... Just wondering which is louder/ deeper exc. If anyone has any experience with either combo feel free to post!

Thanks!

I've got a MRT O/R h & Stingers if you want clips of that.

SublimeMach · 08-28-2008, 12:37 PM

MRT is the best pipe imo

ShapeShifter · 08-28-2008, 01:37 PM

lmao you must hate mine.. its catted mrt h with slp lm1.. haha

GRB60 · 08-28-2008, 02:07 PM

I've got the MRT catted H and Borla combo. I like it alot. It's kinda loud, but that depends on what YOU consider loud. Either way, the quality of the sound is good. Sorry, but I don't have a recorded sound clip. PM me if you wanna try to work something out on that.

edit: Here's a clip from last weekend's crab run. My car is the red one in front. Not a good burnout, but it goes all the way to redline in 1st. The black car that goes second is JDraper's and it has Borla w/ catted Bassani, I'm pretty sure.

I've got the Bassani Catted X with Stingers on my car, and Bris09 has the MRT Catted H on his car with the Stingers. They sound very similar except that Brian's car is a hair deeper in sound, and mine has a slightly nastier edge to the sound.

IMHO, both sound very good

.

On edit, in the video posted by GBR60, My car is the black mach and Bris09 is the Blue mach.

GRB60 · 08-28-2008, 09:20 PM

Bris09's car has JBA shorties on it. Mine has stock manifolds.

2sick4v's · 08-29-2008, 04:12 AM

id honestly go with a catted bassani x. over on svtperformance alot of the cobra guys agree that borla stingers and a bassani catted x pipe is one of the best exhaust combo's to run. imho stingers with a catted or o/r h sounds too blatty.

Lonestar7 · 08-29-2008, 06:04 AM

Borla Stingers!

DSGMachine · 08-29-2008, 04:51 PM

Deeper = MRT

I was looking around trying to find some good buys on a Bassani X and came across this interesting thread....

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...e-flutter.html

have you guys ever heard of that as being a common problem or experienced it yourself? I was leaning toward the Bassani but that is not a problem I want to have to deal with..

Never heard of it before and I don't have that problem with my X pipe.

Funny... I have that same problem and I was JUST talking about it with someone. Though I have a VRS O/R x-pipe. I didn't have the noise when I had my Magnaflow catted x-pipe. Wow I feel so much better now that I know I'm not the only one who had the problem. And that makes sense too because I'm now assuming my VRS is assembled similar to a Bassani x-pipe. It was 2 pieces. It was mainly one full piece except I had to bolt on just one of the pipes. I believe it was the driver side pipe that goes from the headers to the X-portion.

Interesting...

I wonder where you got that catted x from and how much you paid for it ?

bigjohnsonDOHC · 08-31-2008, 01:10 PM

ive had a catted x on my gt and a catted h on the mach. To be honest I would much rather have the X then the H. The x is just so more raw sounding, when i scrounge up some money i will be getting a catted x from upr.

DIXIELAND MACH · 09-01-2008, 12:35 AM

I love my borlas!

I just have the cat back now and its plenty loud..

I want to put on kooks full lengths eventually..

Is UPR's X a good piece? The price is pretty good; if it sounds comparable to the Bassani when paired with the Stingers I might pick one up to..

nasty04mach1 · 09-18-2008, 08:28 PM

Bassani hands down. I have Bassani O/R X and love it. My dad has the MRT catted and now O/R H for his cobra. And I like it but the X has just moreloud tone to it. Sounds way better IMO.
