About this Manufacturer:
Bassani was started in 1969 by Darryl Bassani. Over the years, the Bassani team learned what works and what doesn't on just about every engine type with just about every bore and stroke ratio. They learned how to make maximum horsepower over a broad rpm range without sacrificing torque or making excessive noise. They also perfected the art of fit and cosmetic appearance (Bassani started off as a motorcyle exhaust manufacturer, and are pros at making exhausts look great for all eyes to see).
Brian Myers of Anderson Ford Motorsport uses Bassani's production long tube headers and x-pipe on his Mustang and ran a 9.839 second quarter mile at 139 mph at the 16th annual Ford Motorsport Nationals.
Ford Motor Company's SVT division contacted Bassani during the pre-production phase of the Cobra R project, and as a result every Cobra R is delivered from the factory with the Bassanie X-pipe style cat pipe.
Toyota Racing Development (TRD) found in recent tests of aftermarket cat back systems that the 4.7L V8 Toyota Tundra got the most horsepower gain from the Bassani system compared to every other system tested.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a header do? Why buy a header?
An exhaust header is a performance product that replaces your factory exhaust manifold and improves an engine's performance by allowing air to flow more freely. The easier an engine breathes the more power it produces. Headers generally use piping with a wider diameter than factory tubing, which allows more air to pass through the exhaust system than factory. A header is one of the easiest bolt-on modifications you can make to increase horsepower, making an effective use of money if your goal is to quickly gain horsepower.
How much does the material used to make the header matter?
There are two main materials that headers are manufactured out of: ceramic and stainless steel. Ceramic headers are less expensive, but are prone to cracking if they get to be extremely hot. Stainless steel headers are more expensive but are more durable and generally more stylish. Stainless steel headers can take any kind of heat you throw at it and not prone to cracking.
What are the different tubing options for headers and what is the difference between them?
There are two major designs for headers: the 4-2-1 design and the 4-1 design. In many cases 4-1 headers are designed for racing applications where the vehicle is being driven at or near redline. The 4-1 design maximizes top end power, whereas the 4-2-1 evenly distributes it throughout the power band. Either way, you're going to be getting more horsepower from a header.
For which vehicles is it necessary to buy a pair of headers? On your website are headers automatically sold in pairs for these vehicles?
When purchasing exhaust headers for a V-6 or V-8 engine, the header package is complete with two headers. If your vehicle is a 4-cylinder, there only a single header that is used.
How do you install a header?
A header is a direct bolt-on. Simply remove the factory OEM exhaust manifold and the aftermarket header is put in its place. The header is to be attached the head of your vehicle. Remove all the bolts that hold the flanges in place and detach the factory manifold. The down pipe or exhaust pipe should be removed as well and then reattached once the header flanges are bolted back onto the head.
