Yesterday I was mostly...

Post by philthy » Thu Jun 11, 2009 10:13 am

Not your usual lunch break.
Chap at the exhaust place didnt want to touch it for fear of damaging it. Apparently he usually uses a bodyshop which was closed.
So I cracked the spanners out and set to work - only took about 45mins including removing the back box.

So what replacement did you put in?

The standard exhaust is so heavy, putting a lighter sports exhaust changes the 360's handling :thumbsup

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Right now nothing- its 2 pipes straight from the cats to the tailpipes :shock: Sounds terrible IMO

On the lookout for a sports exhaust to replace.

These pics show the difference in size of the silencer on the 360 between standard and the Capristo on mine.
I had the original standard exhaust couriered up to me incase I refitted it for selling and the package weighed 36kg

Glad I know where to take it for fitting now :blackeye

I am too much of a hoarder to sell things but I am sure that somewhere like Verdi Ferrari who are the main Capristo and Tubi dealer and who fit 3 or 4 pdr week will have heaps of standard ones for the price of postage. When I was down there they had a whole room of standard 355 ones piled high.
