5 Favorite Exhaust Systems for the S197
Unleash your S197 Mustang GT with one of these popular exhaust systems!
Bassani Exhaust System
You can't go with a Bassani exhaust system for your S197 Mustang GT. The complete exhaust systems consist of the Bassani X-pipe and axle back. Check your local emissions regulations to confirm if you can run the X-pipe (catted or un-catted) because it will remove your stock catalytic converters. For a total price of about $1000 for both the X-pipe and the axle back, the Bassani system is a decent value and will last the life of the car due to its stainless steel construction.
