test pipes for 1998 f355

Making a track only car out of your 355 are you?

 

No Frank just another one that doesn't care about what kind of air we are breathing.

 

I believe the proper term would be "criminal" or "felon" . Love, Frankie (;

 

I said it last week, but i will say it again. All this environmentally political argument realy dont hold much water to the rest of the world, when the USA refuses to sign and partake in the global anti pollution treaty thing that the UK for one is part of. Sounds real funny coming from the US, some might say "criminal". And to repeat what i said last week, one excuse the US gave was that they plant alot of trees.
So fit ya test pipes and plant a tree!!....no F**K it plant two! LOL!

 

Hyper Flow's CATS work very well and there is no ECU work required. They are plug and play on the 5.2.

 

Is that the Kyoto treaty that you are referring to? The one based on the same type of science that caused Newsweek magazine in the late 1970s to declare the "coming ice age?" Maybe when the "scientists" behind this can answer the questions of: (1) How much of the global warming is actually "man-made", and (2) What would be the effect on global termperatures even if the Kyoto emissions level were attained (which is not going to happen anyway)?, then the U.S. will sign up. In the meantime, maybe the Europeans can keep themselves busy with denying the world's poor the benefits of affordable food by continuing to oppose (without sound science) the use of genetically modified foods.

 

Legal issue aside, if his 355 passes emissions testing because it is in proper tune how is he adversely affecting the environment? Why throw stones before you know all the facts!

 

That as all late model Ferrari's should, in as delivered top running form should pass any state test by miles.

Using it's ability to pass a state test as a yardstick to measure being a responsible member of society is like saying you're not a criminal because you did not get caught robbing a bank.

 

Rifledriver, I understand your point. My point is, if the criteria for environmental responsibility is measured by a specified set of standards that must be met or exceeded, how is the removal of the cats detrimental to the environment, if the car meets or exceeds those agreed upon standards? I agree the legal issue is cut and dry!
You and I both know the reason most cars have the complex emissions systems in place is because 90+% of drivers do not care! They maintain their cars like any disposable tool, fix or replace when broken!

 

I hope you've all fitted a catalyst to your petrol lawnmowers, installed solar panels on your roof and wind turbines in your garden ?

Let's put this into perspective:

11,000 355's ever made.
Some crashed, say, 5%
Some garage queens, say, 20%
Most with cats, say, 60%
Some with test pipes, say, 15%

So that's 1,650 cars with test pipes in the whole world. Average mileage, say, 5000 each per year ?

No offence guys, this aint gonna save the planet.

We should be VERY concerned about our environment. Just because there's no scientific evidence doesn't mean we should pump the world full of cr@*. All I'm saying is that we should worry about the 7 million F150's out there, not a handful of cars.

I'm guessing here, but I get the feeling that a 747 flying from London to LA probably produces more cr@* than all the Ferraris on the road do in a year.

By the way, I don't have test pipes because they're way too loud for me, so I'm not trying to make myself feel better here !!

Hey, I'm not trying start an argument, just my €0.02.

 

The car was designed to pass a much more rigorous test, the federal test. Just because the state does not test to those standards due to financial or political reasons does not make it right, responsible, or legal to remove smog equipment.

Do you teach your kids it is OK not to do the right thing even when no one is watching?

 

Yes of course your right, your an american.

 

You realy think i give a stuff about the air in London? And you will find the air is the same all over the world were theres conjestion.
In the US every one knows the V8 is king compared to the UK were the straight 4 is a joke becourse fuel prices dictate it. What i was saying i stand by.

 

No way ....

they already figured that out for themselves

 

#1 No you have made that quite clear.

#2 No again, you are quite wrong and US pollution laws are why.

 

1/ Typical you think that all brits live in bloody london.
2/And you dont think europe has its own laws?

 

1 No I don't. It is just that you make it quite obvious by that comment you don't care about anyone else.

2 Obviously not good enough or you would not have the air quality in bloody London that you do.

And you preach to Americans about Kyoto when America is the only country that has shown any enviornmental concern and have been putting our money where our mouths are since before you were born and continue to do same.

 

Like i said your an american so your always right, the only country indeed. But you, feal free to kiss my ass you irritateing little....

 

I don't FEAL like it but thanks for recognizing that I'm right.

 

Oh dear, walked right into that one my friend. In the UK its spelt your not you're. Not like you not to check your facts befor a motion. By the way how do you spell the word colour, do you spell it the american way or the english way?

 

You know, only that S**t can come out of an american. I am about to write to the Oxford Dictionary to put them straight.LOL!
