Bassani exhaust some times come with the wrong exh bracket. Then took 3 weeks for them to send the 2nd bracket. After bolting everything up the 2nd bracket is 1.5" too short. Boxed up the $700 exh and sent back to the store. Too bad Bassani don't know there own product well enough to send a bracket that fits.

 

What exhaust are you going to run?

 

For now I put the VH straight shots back on. As good as this engine runs at bottom end and top end I have no complaints. MHO, this engine does it all. It can throw you on your butt taking off, and fishtail going into 4th. Goes from 50 to 100 passing a car. At 9.8 compression, It never pings in the GA heat. Just don't see a need to spend on big money pipes.

 

I would have just drilled a new hole in the bracket if you really wanted that exhaust. Looks like there was plenty of room to do so. (I know it should fit the first time of course)

 

Not after what I went through to get the 2nd bracket. There was only enough room on the bracket to drill one hole and that's not much to hold the exh on. They would have only been bolted on the heads and one bolt on the exh. that would not be good enough for $700 exhaust.

 

you sir are correct, It would have vibrated and cracked soon

Yes sir, or worse, the one bolt fall out going dn the highway could mess up a lot of money.
