Default BSS vs. SSS

Hey all,

Ready to pull the trigger on a set of pipes for my FXDF, but can't decide which ones to get. Is there any difference in these two pipes besides length? Sound? Performance? I like the classic look of the BSS, but love the mean look of the SSS. Any input would be nice.

get the ones you like best..my favorite 2-2 is the Bassani pro streets. My second favorite is based on looks and that is the short shot staggered in black.

The BSS have a powe chamber, so performance will be a bit better with them. They also have a deeper exhaust tone then the SSS. I'm sure you'll be more then happy with whatever you choose though.

For looks, shorter pipes are almost always my vote. Performance, longer or equal length are usually the better choice. If you can find a good compromise between the two, bonus.
