Borla vs Bassani
So I am ready to buy a new exhaust soon and I have been shopping around and asking a lot of people for their opinions. So far I have heard a lot of good things from Bassani, but nobody I talked to has a Borla exhaust system. So I was wondering if anybody here has a Borla and if not, which one they would prefer. I have a 2008 touring model.

Go Bassani the X pipe on it is much better than the stock H pipe on the Borla. I had the borla and my friend has the Bassani, the sound on the bassani is much better in my opinion.

Get the Bassani over the Borla. Bassani sounds much better and is pretty good quality as well. It has a nice deep growl but not in an annoying way. The gains are nice as well. Check out the videos on youtube.

I would go Bassani over Borla in a heartbeat, with performance, sound, and build quality in mind.

It should be a discussion. The HR section has been boring lately.

Bassani if I had to chose between the two.
Edit: With HFC, not sure if you get rasp with test pipes.

Bassani, but I got a Borla for $250 with a torn H-pipe, $10 to fix it (gave the guy $20), and it sounds great.
If you can find a deal used get the cheaper, if not, get the bassani. I'll probably be putting an X pipe and flex joints in the borla fairly soon.

lol it pretty dumb to make the decision over weight. You won't feel +/- 25lbs in a 3300lb car.
listen to them in person and then make a decision.

Borla has the million mile warranty, not sure what kind of warranty Bassani has.
