    My Cappy is euro version (no temp bung). I also have <ahem> less catalytic material than might be seen in a fresh car from the factory. OBDII shows three codes, one for each irritated sensor. The car runs perfectly. I have no doubts this setup will run just fine (though it will obviously throw a CEL).

    BTW, the bulb for the CEL is very easy to remove :)

    Awesome job Goth. Sounds great in the video.
    Your valve covers look like they could use a little work though ;)

    Simply put,

    GOTH RULES!

    I (more properly my accountant) had talked myself out of a 355 until I heard that...

    Sorry to join the party soooo late but I've been in Japan. Oz, you truly are a mechanical wizard and the MVP of the F355 Fratelli! I was thinking of purchasing a Capristo Race Exhaust (like Robbie's), but I've just changed my mind! :) Thanks for taking the time, energy and effort to develop this fantastic system.

    We will hopefully shoot more video to try and capture a larger sample of sounds this weekend :)!! I have had to change my shifting habits with this system ........... I have been accidentally bouncing off the rev limiter ......... because the engine winds out a bit quicker than before :D ............... dyno time is gonna be in the next couple weeks .............. then we can see what this monster can do!! I should have my new hi flow air boxes completed also .......... so I will be testing them along with the new exhaust ........... :)!!!

    Another note: even if the by-pass thermocouple is removed from the bung ......... if one wires the bypass open one can/will get a CEL ........ not because the thermocouple is removed but because the exhaust will take the path of least resistance ........ and at low RPMS there will not be enough exhaust flowing over the primary cat o2 sensors.

    I guess the solution then is to keep the revs up! :D
