Here's a picture of my new BTG dual exhaust.

That's what I wish I had gotten rather than my Bassani. The Bassani "dumps" all the exhaust into a muffler in the stock location, then sends some "back" to passenger side - as you can see, the BTG has a "Y" pipe that splits exhaust & sends to 2 sides - much cleaner. [|)]
I have heard them side-to-side - the BTG isn't louder, but it's "deeper" - more "Bass".

IRPT, I couldn't be happier, except for highway driving I always use the auto stick to get the full effect. Next on my list is painted mirrors and engine cowl.

IRPT, I just checked out your web page, very nice. Was the paint job that good when you bought it or did you have to paint it? I have trouble with stone chips even though I have a bra on whenever the weather allows. Had the same problem with my previous PT, must have had 60-70 chips in the front when I traded it in. Mine is pretty much a daily driver so I don't think there is too much I can do. Although I have never installed the lower piece of the bra. Guess I better do that.

Thanks mcruz. The paint was in pretty good shape when I bought it, some minor swirl marks from previous owner taking it through car wash. I have the same problem as you and all other PT owners, stone chips on front and hood, just can't see them in the photo. Mine's a daily driver also.

IRPT, I know what you mean about the car wash, my first PT only went through a car wash twice in 2 1/2 years. I won't even consider a touchless car wash as I used one once and the detergent they use is so harsh that it streaked the pillars. My GT has never been through a car wash and hopefully it never will. I washed it yesterday and it was 33 degrees, my neighbors think I am a mental case.

I'm with you mcruz, since taking ownership of my PT it has never been through a car wash and will never go through one as long as I own it, I prefer to do it myself.

Opps, sorry getting off topic again.

I like the BTG best. Just wish it came in a 2.5" for my turbo instead of just rebadging the NA 2.25" unit.
