I have never heard of such an issue with low restriction filters. However, this doesn't mean that the overly complicated DME on the 360 isn't picking up the difference. I have heard the e-gas setup is very sensitive but still can't understand why a filter change might cause this.
I suggest that you go back to your standard filters and see if the problem is directly related or not. If the hesitation goes away with the factory filters, I'd ask Robert what he thinks.
FWIW, I am told that the factory filters are extremely free-flowing and lower restriction filters do not necessarily add much in terms of performance. I don't know if this is true or not. |

I believe you must use specially coated bolts and nuts to prevent corrosion caused by dissimilar metals. RM has got that figured-out and will supply the proper materials and instructions. I'd call Robert and discuss it with him. |

The factory installs the extinguisher on the passenger floor to the left and against the center tunnel hump. This takes away from the available foot space. Here's how an aftermarket company does it:

Vanny,
When you find out let me know.Iwas thinking the best place may be in the middle behind the seats on the wall separating the engine compartment from the cabin.
I am planning to do so in my 360.
Where did you purchase your extinguisher and what make? |

On the 328 and most Ferraris, the passenger front seat bracket bolt works well and is accessible. |
