    Hi All. I am in the process of developing a low cost replacement catalytic converter thermocouple solution for 456/550/575 models. I would like a few folk to test for fit on these models as I don't have access to these models for testing. I have a few free samples to send out so the only obligation I ask is you highlight any issues when fitting. Please let me know if you are able and willing and I will get some sent out.

    Takes a really long cord to reach. Seems like it was around 83"/3.27 m, but one of the techs can probably tell you how long.

    I noticed that the original cord is very long, but the distance it has to cover is not that long at all. 3.27 meters seems about twice the length it really needs?

    First round installed and fit and function is good. Just a few more weeks reliability testing and we will be good to go.

    How much will they cost after you begin production. Might like to have a set sitting on the shelf since I have already replaced them once.

    I have been a tester, and I found installing rather simple, not different from a OEM one.
    I have just made my first test drive after an extensive engine major, and have not seen a SDL during my trip.
    So as far as I can judge now, it works well.

    Are these also appropriate for the 456 (non M)?

    The Ferrari OEM thermocouple part number is the same across all 456 versions, so yes, they will be compatible.

    Thank you, will you continue to make these as needed or once this run is done?

    Sorry, I have no affiliation with this company. Probably best to ask Technistrada directly.
