Okay so I have narrowed it down to bassani rr 2 short or the thunderheader. Shoot me some pros and cons. Or videos. I have seen thunderheaders out here in the Bay Area plenty of times haven't see a bassani yet. Love the bassani exhaust for my 03 cobra. I know thunder is not that great later on down the road if you mod the engine, but I like the sound it has. I want to get this ordered ASAP.

Don't know why you would think a thunderheader wouldn't be good with engine mods?

Have just heard from people that is restrictive to a modded engine

I vote bassani..
Pros:
Looks good
Sounds good(you still get that throaty sound when you get on it!)
Short upsweep to stay away from your new t sport bags.
The black matches a little better to the motor and with the heat shields I think would look better in the long run.
It's different than the thunder header( everybody's got a TH in the bay)
Price, I got mine from Dennis Kirk for $560 with the heat shields
Cons:
I have sat here thinking about cons...and I can't really think of any.

I was in the same boat as you, trying to decide between that TH and bassani and I chose bassani. I don't regret it at all.
