Some pics and links to videos. As I suspected, the video does not do the sound of these pipes credit. Much louder/deeper sounding than it comes across hear.

Thanks! They sound pretty good, I'm still on the fence about how they look though...

I can't help you on the look, that's for you to decide. I do think the look will be better when I get a chance to get matching shields.

The sound, however, I can tell you is pretty insane. If you are looking for LOUD you would be thrilled to get these. And they are very deep and menacing sounding. I've been on two short rides and have gotten tons of attention already. You can kind of tell what people are thinking by how they look at you. Some have the "wtf that's so loud" look while others you can tell have a "daaaaamn" (in a good way) look on their face.

Yeah they definitely sound good judging from your video and I'm sure they sound even better in person.

Here's a new pic and video after spraying my heat shields with a JP1 can of flat black exhaust paint. The color is a very close match, but the finish of the paint is not exactly spot on. Also, I sprayed last night at 1am under a street lamp in the pitch black because I was anxious to get it done, and getting my wife's car keys to back her car out of the garage would have required waking her up. I missed a bit on the edges but will be taking them off to put another coat or two on. I'm not 100% happy with it overall, but it's about 95% of the look I was looking for for around $14. For the time being it'll do. Also, the second rev in the video is maybe about 1/3 throttle. I actually just feel too bad to give a good twist in the neighborhood it's so damn loud. Again, video doesn't do it justice because the mic on my camera doesn't demonstrate how deep they sound in person, but it's closer to the true sound than my first video.

Nice, I really like the tone of the Bassanis.

What camera were you using to take the picture and video?

It's a canon DSLR with a Sigma lens with a large aperture.
