Looking for a decent used set. Don't mind a few small bumps and bruises as long as there is no rust. Would prefer catless as well. Let me know what you've got!

Don't got any used long tube headers but I do have a couple C5 Bassani X pipes laying aruond, I think one is a Bassani and the other is a Corsa.

Do either of those mate up pretty well with a variety of different makes of headers?

Probably not since most aftermarket headers such as LG, American Racing, Melrose, and Dynatech often will include their own custom designed X pipes as part of their systems. And even if they don't other X pipes won't mate to their headers.

I still have the set of LG pros. Also have the cat delete pipes, maybe those can be used to accommodate the bassani x-pipe?

The LG headers should have their own X pipe and it should be 3".

LG does make their own x-pipe for the headers, however I don't have the x-pipe.

Then yes, they can be made to fit, and would be A LOT less $$$ than getting the complete set of pipes from LG. You would have to go to a exhaust shop to have some piping made from 3 to 2.5" to mate to the Bassani X pipes.

I didn't realize the Bassani x was only 2.5". I was thinking about picking up a targa C5 and using these headers, but that idea is long gone! I think 500.00 is a reasonable asking price.

That is a great price on those headers. TJ, can you PM me a price for the x-pipe?

Appreciated!
