Hey guys, anyone else install the Bassani exhaust? I am having a bunch of issues. I have a 2016.5 LE white pearl.
First, the exhaust doesn't seal against the catalytic converter and causes an exhaust leak at the bottom of the donut. I am pretty sure this is because Polaris changed the spring positioning (they deleted one spring location on newer models) on the stock exhaust and Bassani had to compensate for it by adding a bracket. That bracket makes the exhaust twist in a weird way and causes the leak. Bassanis were originally compatible with 2014-15 models but because of this new bracket they claim it works on a '16
Because of this, I can't really comment on sound except to say it sounds awful (because of the leak). Unbelievably loud and has a thrashing sound. And it smells horrible, even though the cat wasn't touched/modified/removed.
So overall, I'm really unhappy with it and looking for some help. Also trying to return it but they wont take it back because it's been installed.
Thanks guys. Anyone have another exhaust recommendation? I like the 1320 header/exhaust combo but worried about the smell of going catless.
