Bassani Y-Pipe

Does anyone know why the Bassani y-pipe won't fit a 96 with a 5.8?

Thanks.

it will fit. you just have to get additional o2 sensor bungs welded into the proper locations similar to how your stock y pipe is currently. honestly the bassani is overpriced now that they dont sell the aluminized version. I got my entire exhaust done for the price of the bassani y thats available today.

Kem,

"aluminized version" Thought all Bassani made was 304 stainless?

Yup, they made an aluminized version. It was about $100-200 less than the stainless version depending on where you got it and if you wanted it with a cat or not.

Never bothered to keep up on their stuff after I bought the full stainless system for mine. Not sure I would have bothered with anything but stainless anyway.

So you have a full Bassani system? 3 inch? How do you like it?

Well it's been transferred from my 92 to my 93 and been running strong since 2001 with no issues. I love it. The sound is nice without that atrocious snapping and popping you get from a lot of aftermarket systems on deceleration. I like it so much, I'm considering figuring out a way to remove the Bassani Y and have a Y for the 300 with long tubes run into the "cat back" portion of it when I make the swap from the 302 to the 300.

The system uses all of the stock mountings and hangers. It requires no special gaskets even if you don't buy Bassani's short headers to go with it. The tip widens to 4" from the 3". It also came with everything... down to the high temp. hose to connect the Thermactor air injection to the cat. If you do a search, you will see that I used to be a "walking commercial" for Bassani for quite some time. I relaxed because even I got tired of reading my posts about it.
