    Hi guys. I changed my F430 front bunmper to SC last weekend and it looks quite good. Now I'm thinking of change my rear bumper,diffuser to SC look as well together with the exhaust system.

    Will theTubi Exhuast for SC will fit my F430 perfectly, or I need more stuff for conversion.

    Is there any cheaper solution for exhaust conversion, ie. just change the LH RH outlet pipe to SC ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Wow you beat me to it. I was also wondering if F430 rear bumper was changed to Scuderia rear bumper; would aftermarket Scuderia exhaust fit the OEM F430 headers and possibly catalyst?

    Thanks for the additional photos. Did you just go with a Scuderia Capristo Exhaust that hooked up straight to the F430 manifolds? Any tweaks need to be made or is clear fittings? Thanks.

    Look like a quality piece. Hate to be a pain but can you pm me your source and any other details (does it come with the screens, hardware, etc)?

    Has anyone tried ESTA INTERNATIONAL? They have the SC kit in FRP or CF. Prices are reasonable but I'm not sure whats the quality like. I'm tempted to go for the challenge grill with the pony logo in CF as well as the bumper but for the regular 430 pipes (not scuds). I'm waiting for their reply.

    Thanks for sharing the pix guys. Just made it more convincing for me to perform the op.

    If you dont mind me asking who makes the kit? Was installation easy? Is that carbon fiber or OEM quality?Any problems incurred? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks again Mike.

    Another part to consider would be our F430 Scuderia airbox lids for the F430. The Scuderia uses a larger MAF sensor than the F430 so we made carbon fiber airbox lids with all the dimensions of the Scuderia parts but with the smaller MAF opening to fit an F430. Kit installs in less than 15mins and includes performance air filters to increase engine breathing. Sorry but the quality is not the same as OEM...IT IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!

    More info at: http://www.carbonio.com/performance/brand/ferrari/430airbox.html

    Order direct with free shipping and no duties or taxes in Canada and the US here:

    While you are at it check out our longer Challenge or Corsa shift paddles and CF cup holder for the F430

    Here are some pics of the airbox lids:

    It was made in China and all the stuff has good quality and fit the car perfectly. Only the rear grille and front spoiler are carbon fiber.

    They are easy for installation and the only problem I met was the Tubi SC exhuast installation. because the SC exhaust outlet pipe's diameter is the same as the normal F430 catalyst when you connect them together. But anyway it can be sovled at the workshop.

    Damn bloody nice Mikesun. I'm guessing its either by Esta International or Stone Carbon? I'm looking at their scuderia style rear bumper in full carbon. It'll have the grille molded together with the bumper (for non-scuderia exhaust outlets) but in full carbon fibre. Nice.

    TroUble with aftermarket air box lids is that they do not come with the horns which the stock 430 ones have. The horns make a huge difference in the intake volume as I have heard in a mates 430 which is running the tubi cf covers. Strangely, the tubi ones seem to mute the intake noise. It might not make a difference on the dyno, I wouldn't know as I've not put mine on the rollers yet, but to me the intake noise adds to the whole experience of driving the 430. Can you share with us why, apart firm difficulty to fabricate the horns in cf, aftermarket arbor manufacturers choose not to include the horns in their design? I'd change to an aftermarket unit immediately if it came with the horns, No doubt about that!

    Here is a helpful video by Capristo Germany to those who are thinking of mimicking an F430 Scuderia:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v3-K_QIllk[/ame]

    I myself, I am for the real deal, either you've got a Scuderia or you don't ;)
    The normal F430 is a great car as well, no need to convert it into a Scuderia :)

    Car conversions reduce the value rather than increasing it, IMVHO!
    Because buyers start getting skeptical . . .

    Greetz,
