S-Line X-pipe & exhaust for REGULAR F430 | True F1 high-pitch sound | PICS & VIDEOS

The install went well. I had to loosen the cats at the headers and move them around to get everything to line up. Their position was way off from where it sat with the tubi.

My only complaint with design is the main bracket. It's too low and pushes into the heat shield. It's needs about an inch more of height in there to clear. I'll pass it along to S-Line when I get better pics tomorrow.

Nice!

I just cut my heat shield on both sides of the bracket and just folded it down and it works perfectly.

 

I'll check mine if the brackets touch the heat shield or not.

 

Ronnie those tips look great

 

my s-line exhaust is shipping!

 

I re-aligned the exhaust. I put some anti-seize on the cats to slip the exhaust further on them so the brackets are flush to the gearbox.

The first picture is of the bracket too far away, then second picture is fixed. I'm working on video now ;S)

because i learned this in the past, make sure you use nickel anti seize and not just regular- the regular will bake off and rust with moisture, the nickel will remain strong on exhaust

 

I personally use copper on threads and bolts and ceramic (white) on slip fittings etc. This is what Akrapovic recommends/includes for their Ti exhausts. Works well for all exhaust in my experience.

 

If we ask for the polished stainless, will it still turn blue/purple after break in ?

 

That I don't know, mine is regular steel. I think somebody in here ordered polished steel.

 

I think it does. Check out a pic of freshmeat's engine bay.

 

Getting close to pulling the trigger on the S-Line. People have talked about power gains but I haven't heard any actual numbers. Anyone who put one of these on do before and after dynos? If not, I may with my car if I get this.

 

Yeah, you should do a before and after dyno if you get one, plus weight comparison also

That's for an F430, right? I've got a scud so I guess it'll be a little different.

 

The Scud's is different because it has a different outlet - one per side, not double. Technically, there are no tips on the Scud system.

 

Yes, that pic is for an F430. Like sherpa23 said, no exhaust tips for the Scud version.

 

Another F430 with S-Line exhaust, car looks similar to mine but it's not

Sounds good!

I had to smile when I saw the stiff competition the 430 driver had on the track.

 

Another video of the same car I think:

I edited MolsonB's video to make it shorter, Tubi vs S-Line (Tubi went first and then S-Line):

Here's another video, 1st gear normal acceleration with upshift at 6k RPM (and nice pop!)

Sounds amazing! #SLineSound
What's your setup?

 

Agency Power headers (ceramic coated)

I really love the new pops and crackles I am getting!

I will make a post with installation pics and full review soon, and some more videos.
