I bought the black tipped 70003425 exhaust 6 months ago, have driven 1,500 miles love the sound but decided I wanted the Chrome 3290 Chrome tips version, so now have the 70003425 with black tips and a brand new mounting kit for Sale, list price $6,200, will sell for $2,995 + shipping

I might be interested. What modifications need to happen to fit this? Does it prevent the frequent replacement of the engine mounts? How much louder is it vs regular exhaust? Finally, is it valves?
Thanks

No modifications as its a Ferrari product, you just have to remove the centre muffler and switch the mounting bracket, critically it has a mechanism with the sliding centre bar to allow heat expansion which helps prevent cracked headers and exhaust mounts, it is valved and it sound like this (significantly louder than OEM) there are some sound clips from Tackleberry in this thread http://www.clubscuderia.co.uk/forum/...xhaust-Fitting. I like it soooo much I bought it twice !

And get some after market headers and really annoy the world! Vrum vrum BOOM!

That part is already done and the car is already very loud when the valve opens up - so I can only imagine what it would sound like if I added that exhaust on top. Too much? Would that fail an MOT / prevent me to do track days if I finally decided to do that?
I do like the piece of mind of a sport exhaust, which solves the weight and bracket cracks issue...

I just sold the exhaust to Felix in Germany yesterday, its not too loud, I have Capristo headers on mine

I have this system and aftermarket headers on my car - eliminated all the woes regarding the flawed OEM design and removes a ton of weight from the poorly engineered OEM mounting system.

Sounds brilliant, look brilliant, reduces engine bay temps, and with the valve system is not too anti-social valves closed and when the valves open it sounds just like a V8 Ferrari should do.

Lots and lots of aftermarket systems for the F430 some which are not that much better than stock and some early attempts that are pretty poor tbh.

This system is actually based on Tubi styles second attempt at a system for the F430

That it became the adopted solution as the OEM upgrade tells you all you need to know.

ok so have the Chrome tips version for Sale too as its time for my Vehicle Matriculation test (again)as even though this is OEM Ferrari, my original exhaust has to go back on, 9 months old, car off the road over winter < 2,000 miles

So glad I don’t live somewhere that hates cars.

The system is billed as a homologated replacement for the flawed original. Does your local laws not prevent putting a worse system that could cause an accident back on?

There are 2 issues in that i) this OEM model is not holomgated in CH ii) the part number is then also not visible when fitted on the car, it just used to be a question is this an OEM part but now its no longer that simple
