Hi there
Well 27 today and just spent approx $1700
Bassani Full Long Tube Header System
When it comes to header design, experience does make a difference! Bassani has the experience to develop designs to optimize performance and the technical ability to implement these designs with minimal compromise.
Features
- Fast flowing mandrel bent primary tubes
- 14 gauge, 1-5/8" mild steel primary tubes, 2 1/2" collectors
- Exclusive wave isolation collector
- Ceramic coating for long-lasting good looks
- Connects to all factory sensors
- High grade installation hardware included
- 2 extra Oxygen Sensor bungs are provided for modifications to an H pipe or equivalent aftermarket replacement.
Bassani Mid X-Pipe (With CATS & Race Pipes)
The Bassani X-pipe is a key component of the overall exhaust system that Bassani manufactures for the Mustang. Its job is to improve performance and to create an exhaust note that is unique to the Bassani X-pipe. Performance improvements are achieve by Bassani's unique X-crossover, which features smooth transitions for minimal flow interruption.
SS X-Pipe Features
- For use with Bassani Longtube Headers #4605RC Only.
- Super high-flow metal substrate catalytic converters
- 2.5" stainless steel exhaust tubing with fast flowing mandrel bends
- Bassani X-crossover for improved scavenging and performance
- Compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions (see note above)
- Installation hardware included, no cutting or welding required
- Install time: 1-2 hours
- Lifetime warranty
Steeda Charge Motion Plates
Let your pony breathe! The factory charge-motion control plates produce a restriction in the intake path - which these replacements from Steeda eliminate. Beautifully CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum. If you are already on the bottle, we've got the holes drilled and tapped for you, ready for you to install your nozzles. Recalibration after installation is required - easily handled with the new Diablosport Predator with Custom Tunes, or with the SCT Xcalibrator!
All three of the above combined should be good for approx 30-40 RWHP and upto 40FTlbs at the wheels. The car sounds evil enough now but with the new headers installed it will sound like a very angry animal trying to get out.
This will then give me a total list of the following modifications:-
Ford Mustang GT base RWHP = 260-265 RWHP / 285FTlbs (300BHP / 320FTlbs Flywheel) 12-15% tranmission loss in power
Tunable Induction CAI = +15-18 RWHP / +5-10FTlbs
Saleen UnderDrive Pulleys = +8-10 RWHP / +3-5 FTlbs
Bassani LT Headers + Bassani X-Pipe = 15-25 RWHP / 25-40FTlbs
Bamachips Race or Performance Tune = 10-14 RWHP / 10-25FTlbs
Saleen Catback System = 0-3 RWHP 5-10 FTlbs
Total = Minimum 303 RWHP & 333FTlbs (approx 350BHP & 380FTlbs @ Flywheel)
Total = Maximum 335 RWHP & 375FTlbs (approx 380BHP & 430FTlbs @ Flywheel)
In all honesty I will be very happy if I see 300 RWHP and higher torque figure. Cars with similar mods return 305-325 RWHP obviously different dynos, ambient temperatures, humidity all effect these numbers. If I hit around 320 RWHP I will be extremely happy!
Cars with similar mods are returning 12.5s - 13.0s 1/4 mile times with terminal speeds of 104-112mph on stock tyres. With my car been a Saleen it has the advantage of been quite a bit lighter. Either way its already bloody quick but you can never say no to more. Next upgrade will be brakes I think.
Can't wait to get them all fitted up, shall be installing the Charge Motion Plates myself and getting an m8 with a ramp to fit the exhaust up for me.
This little lot just cost me $1700 including shipping & taxes. With our great Dollar Rate thats approx £900.
Shall be looking forward to feeling the extra power and listening to how she sounds and if I aint happy enough I can always slip on the race tubes.
