6 into 1: here we go again – now what’s this thing?
Welp, a week ago I joined the Forum, and posted a topic that immediately got off to a bad start:
(see “6 into 1: what brand is this thing? worth saving?â€

"Bassani" is/was an exhaust manufacturer. They also had an exhaust for the CBX. It is one of the rarest of all aftermarket pipes.
Whether this is a Bassani, I can't say. I never saw one.

Looks like a Bassani to me as well. Nice find!

Steve M and Don have me convinced already that it is a Bassani - thanks.
(Now, if you know that Kmart made a similar model in the early '80s, be a sport and keep it to yourself. I'm on a roll !)
But, at the risk of getting flamed .... EMS, you HAVE seen this before. Looky here, in Mopar Tony's pic from a cupla weeks ago. That's the pipe, there, hiding at the bottom of jacket pic

thanks Jeff. That is one mean look'n bike.
Looking at "real life" vs. your pics, everything looks identical except the end cap, as you noted. What I don't get is why there are 6 small, threaded holes at the end of my baffle, versus when looking at your pic, the end cap is likely held in by the same 2 screws that hold the core in (at the 6 and the 9 o'clock position).
Huh.
And mine doesn't have a gap between the core and the outer pipe for the end cap anyway. Seems like I'm missing an end cap of a diff design. Send the pipe back
![3764](/forum/gallery/image.php?image_id=3764)
As an aside, someday I'll take the grad-level course for loading pics to this forum. Seems like you fellas have it mastered (yes, I printed out the Pix Help, and read it too!)

One of the daughter's, in a moment of corrupt but brilliant thinking just now, asked if, since I wanted to hear a fancy exhaust, could I not just skip the motorcycle part and substitute in the leaf blower.
I told her it is too late to wake the neighbors but, jeez, I think we have Toro-Bassani alignment
Maybe by tomorrow she forget this idea...

That Toro pix is one of the most creative connection of unrelated things I have ever seen about CBXs in all these years.Sleepless wrote:One of the daughter's, in a moment of corrupt but brilliant thinking just now, asked if, since I wanted to hear a fancy exhaust, could I not just skip the motorcycle part and substitute in the leaf blower.

Also...You did not get off to a bad start here at all........you asked a q for everyone here ...smart way to procede....and people replied. It saved you from making a mistake....and keep this in mind once.... after you get your CBX going and rides some miles, you will be answering questions here from others. It is the natural progression of things....and a good one for us all.
Finally...you are about 2 hours from my sons in NC...next time I get down there, I will pm you and we can meet up.

My CBX lives near Harrisburg, Pa USA

Got any more?
That Bito sounds nice and it had better for that price.
