Bassani Y-pipe

I know there are a lot of you bassani fans out there...I need your help. I bought some bassani headers last week and a 3" in/out cat from magnaflow about a month ago. I was looking at the bassani off-road y-pipe on the proficientperformance website and it looks like 3 sections of slip-fit joints. If you look at the cat version, it looks a lot smoother. I do my own welding, and I heard good things about the magnaflow cats so that's why I went that way. Has anyone puchased the off road version (catless)? Does it have smooth transitions or is it what it looks like on the PP site? Also, if I'm understanding things, since I bought bassani headers and if I get the bassani y-pipe, I shouldn't need those donut gaskets?
Thanks for the help.

Hey BluBlocker. I have the Bassani headers, and Y pipe (with cats though). I know **** (FTE user) has the offroad version of the bassani Y pipe. He should be able to tell you exactly what it looks like (since PP and most other places only use representative example pictures). If you have the Bassani headers, and a Bassani Y pipe, you DO NOT need the gaskets. They mate up beautifully! Very well designed system. You only need those gaskets when mating stock manifolds to their Y pipe.

Thanks wheelMA1,
I'll see if I can gat a hold of him. It would be a shame to spend $260 on a pipe that looks like their representative photo. I can't wait to get it all hooked up...should sound really nice.

Hey BluBlocker, I have the Bassani Y-Pipe without the cats and it's a smooth transition.

Thanks Big ol F150,
I was hoping it was smooth. They don't have any specs on it though. I'm assuming it's 2 1/2" from back of headers into a 3" pipe? I should have done my homework before...I already bought a magnaflow 3" cat and 3" round dynomax ultraflow welded muffler.

yep, 2.5 to a 3 inch pipe. Its a nice piece. If I get a chance soon, I'll take a photo of it. Its waiting to be installed on this project. I used it for about 900 miles on a previous project and liked it.

I'd appreciate it, but don't go through any bother.
Thanks
