    FYI the grill is of no use unless you have or get the mounting brackets with it. The Series 1 cars had a different valance than the later cars. The pic below shows a US 1975 mounting bracket and valance. If your car does not have the original thermal reactor muffler expect to modify your exhaust to fit through the holes.

    I had not seen that style screen for the GT4......that's cool!

    Had only seen the other style, with the solid end caps.

    my gt4 came with an ansa exhaust and no screen. A metal fab place cut a piece of screen material, bent it in 2 places, and I mounted the screen over the rear sub frame, all for about $40.

    The sides mount on the muffler sides it was a very clean look for a US car and the tail pipes are still down and not cut as FNA was told to do from the factory

    This is of interest to me as I have an early GT4 with after-market exhaust and no shield. No idea of the maker as car is not where I can look at it right now. Exhaust system is stainless; should I just leave it exposed?

    The tubi fit mine perfectly. I feel bad I gave my exhaust away but I had no room for it and if anyone ever wants to put it back on it is my only exception to my originality gene

    The tubi doesn't appear to be available for the GT4 (at least the earlier, pre-cat versions) anymore. I had a horrid experience with them trying to order one last year. In the end, went with a Nouvalari Exhaust. They were great to work with, and essentially custom made one for me. I highly recommend the Nouvalari. Here is the link to my thread on it:

    Your car looks to be in creditable condition! The rubber bumper and bumper end caps look to be new or did you have them reconditioned? I also have thought about replacing my cromodora side mirrors for the European style - I like the contrast!

    I heard those thermal reactors are very heavy? I do still have the original headers - same as pictured. I'm not sure which exhaust I have…there are 4 individual tips coming directly off the muffler, the tips are nice and shiny…wishing the whole exhaust was stainless! But will say it has that F1 fly by sound...actually, more like a turbine (anyway that’s what people say)

    Sorry, Spencer, but the car is in the paint shop so not available for photos now.

    A lot of tips don't fit the screen openings and "off" it goes....

    I have located the slotted metal, and was going to make a few GTB screens.
    The flat style should be easy enough if we had a pattern, and we can put the oval openings as required for your system!

    Time and money......LOL!

    be glad to help you Mr. Niles.

    No mine is original I do have several sets of holes where it looks like the factory or the dealer tried to reposition it a bit. I had the muffler mod instead of downward pointing tubes I had the straight pipes with the holes in the bottom. My car was pretty nice when i got it and hav tried not to mess it up too much. I heard that tubi does not make a exhaust anymore which is a shame but have heard several on you tube larini etc which sound great. Doms looks very cool. Not sure whats up with tubi. I was one of their first customers and they said they had a jig set up for the GT4 the exhaust arrived and it took about 30 minutes to get it on and never had any trouble. I dont even have the spring bolts. My car is an early one like Doms so not sure at what point they lost or misplaced their original jig but hey they are Italian's!!!!!
