Bassani.

If you can get LTs, then get them...if Bassani makes them. But for sure, get their mid pipe & catback.

Can't go wrong.

cleanest mach ive heard had an o/r x-pipe and 2 chamber flows. usually, id never say to use an x-pipe with chambered muffs, but that setup sounded niiiiiice.

I love my hooker's w/ matching catless x and magnaflows.

Let me know if you want to hear it.

Another thought to consider is what is going to let you drop the tranny without having to loosen the exhaust again.

kooks, hookers, slp I know are good for clearance....im not too sure of the bassani's.

That and I have heard people having problems getting the bassanis to seal up properly.

Sometimes, listening to clips on the net is whack, you get an idea, but it does it no real justice. Better off to hear in person.

My Bassani have sealed just fine, but then again, it is a 2V. Archie does make a good point though, consider trans removal in header options.

If they make them for the 4V, Bassani or Hooker would be my option. The Kooks allow you, but for the price and the shitty design, stay away from Kooks. If you ever have to remove the starter (which you do for tranny removal) you can forget it.

Yes, granted mine is a 2V as well and has the Kooks I think Jody is referring to since he did install them. There is 99.9% chance you can't get the starter out without taking off the passenger side header which is gonna be a "B" when that day comes. SO yeah... starter clearance AND trans clearance are a must! IF I had to do it again, I would probably get the Bassani midlengths like Jody has because there is so much more clearance.
