Competizione tuned 355

Beautiful work! It's a shame to cover those headers with heat wrap. It sounds great on the dyno too.

 

beautiful work!! looks awesome! I'll take your word for it on the sound, the video did it no justice...

 

That exhaust looks wild!!

 

That looks incredible. I'd bet the price matches the looks.

 

Almost afraid to know the cost!

Looks great.

 

Isn't that fchatter Xavior's 355 from Tokyo???

 

Why is it a shame it looks great and he will never have to replace those headers again. Also all the components around the headers are safe for life.

 

Good thinking Oz but Xavior had a GTB and the one pictured above is a spider And I think Xavior changed to a Nero GTB???

 

So what was the dynoed rwhp??

 

The pipes are going to look strange once the rear bar is fitted back on, single round tail pipes.....

 

Would like to know also..

 

That sounded great.

Yo Oz. I like the size of the singles on that.

 

I like em.

 

Music to my ears!

 

Oh, cannot wait! November, that will be mine. First part finished last night courtesy Richard and Fernando. Raining cats and dogs, so I cannot give any feedback yet, but I will post a few pictures in the technical section about the install.

You're lookin at approx. $10.5K+ without install.

Install requires removal of everything involving the exhaust system(incl. cat controls,aux. air system,rear O2 sensors-5.2,etc.)

NO cats
NO cat sensors/control modules
NO air rails
NO air pump
Reshielding of all components in close proximity of exh.
Uses only 2 O2 sensors for OBDII(5.2)

You are going to loose bottom end torque with a little gain on top-end hp

This is a single tuned exh., all top end

Will NOT pass EPA requirements anywhere

May require other modifications to realize max potential

 

Looks awesome!!! Only issue is I'm not a fan of wrapped headers on street cars. I would prever a high-tech coating like something from Swain Tech versus the wrap. Small complaint for what looks like an awesome setup.

 

I WANT GRUPPEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Maybe we can start a group buy for a big discount.

 

Sound like you know your coatings! I only recently found out about Swain Tech. I love the white, and there stuff is supposed to be the real deal. Planning to use it to coat the headers on my GT40. Maybe Competizione will find a hole in my factory 355 headers... fabspeeds in white would look shaweet in a 355 (too bad you cannot see them as well as you can in a GT40).

 

Whats the advantage then ? Sound only ?

 

Excellent question!!!

Bling factor? Looks killer...

Sound? Well, that's always going to be subjective....

Performance? This is a race system, NOT a street system. Being a "race car system" doesn't mean it's going to produce mucho hp.....although it will produce a little more hp and torque it is tuned to do this for higher rpms associated with track/competition use.

At nearly $11K, the buyer will have to be the one who ultimately determines its' advantages(if there are any...lol).

 

Has lost its Ferrari scream somehow. Looks like nice kit though.

 

Their white exhaust coating is very popular with the turbo crowd to cover the host side parts (inside and out) of their exhaust. The white can be painted, so the only loss is if you want the polished look.

Their piston top and combustion chamber coating is also an excellent way to keep combustion heat in the chamber and keep piston temps down.

I've asked in a few threads if anyone has tried to coat 355 headers with their exhaust coating. When the motor comes out of my fathers car this winter, I'm debating about sending the headers out. I want to figure out a way to do some before / after temp readings.
