bassani x pipe installed

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 12:26 PM

i got the x pipe installed. but im noticing a leak. cant tell where its at..

but i can hear it ticking. anyone have any issues with bassani x on theirs? this video does the car ZERO justice

YouTube - Mach 1 Bassani o/r x & mufflers

the whole x pipe is clamped and stuff thats how it comes. how much movement do you think it would take for a bracket to loosen up ? i have a rough uphill driveway and it bounces the car around a tad do you think that much movement would have caused it to leak around one of the clamps or something?

sounds nice.

I'm willing to bet the leak is at your driver side header flange

Sounds badass.

Passenger side is the one with the gasket if I am remembering correctly...

I had issues with mine sealing with the clamps...I had it welded...No more issues...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 12:59 PM

you had the clamps welded?

yes on my gt the pass side had the gasket its metal i do beleive. and the drivers side didnt have one. not sure of why not but it just didnt use it.

i guess ill have to crawl under and see where its leaking from. dangit.

thanks guys

ChrisJ · April 13th, 2008, 01:15 PM

Nope I had the clamps taken completely out of the equation...

I paid like $100 to an exhaust shop and never had an issues again...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 01:36 PM

hmm. i might end up doing that crap.

ChrisJ · April 13th, 2008, 01:37 PM

Its worth it...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 02:49 PM

thanks for the advice and compliments guys! loving that x pipe!

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 05:13 PM

yeah i got underneath it a few minutes ago with a cut water hose to my ear.. i checked where the brakets were and 3 of the 4 total were leaking pretty good. i couldnt get the hose up to the manifolds bc i didnt have my car high enough to get under it more to see where to put the hose but i tryed my best and didnt hear any major leaks at the manifold. the pass side did sound a little louder but its just hard to tell where i had the hose sitting it coulda been the motor i heard.

My Bassani pipe has a minor leak by the drivers side clamp! Nothing serious though. Or does anyone beg to differ?

BTW i would replace those bolt on subframes.lol

ChrisJ · April 13th, 2008, 06:05 PM

Dont forget to weld the little ears on the pipes...I threw the clamps out in the trash...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 07:01 PM

ears?

ChrisJ · April 13th, 2008, 07:02 PM

The little expanding ears on the female pipe...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 07:03 PM

got cha. damn fast response lol

ChrisJ · April 13th, 2008, 07:06 PM

Yeah I had to make sure they did it on mine...The first time they didnt tak the pipe and then remove it to weld the top...I took the car back immediately and watched them fix it...

Black02GT · April 13th, 2008, 07:09 PM
