    Nice post John! While you could have just let us know that you got a new exhaust set up for your car, the eloquent build up of suspense and writing was great. Enjoy!

    Wow .... man :)!! ....... great to hear the 'aggressive' beast has been installed ....... this sound option has barely any sound attenuation at all ...... hence the name 'aggressive' :D ........ so yes it will be kinda loud ... it will have much of the the 'rasp and burbles' of a track prepared F-car ...... especially when going from a 'two can' system ;) ....... however at WOT this option will have the most F1 sound possible for a street driven 348 and is certainly not for the faint of heart :cool: ....... looking forward to hearing what this beast sounds like in media ....... :)

    PS here is the Ricambi link for the other 2 donut gaskets:

    154984 GASKET/EXH : Ricambi America

    PSS .... F355Bob ..... the bumper insert tubes .... look good lined in exhaust black ... :)

    Your goth setup came in a professionally packed box with instructions?! Hah, mine came in goth's trunk, in pieces and only our collective knowledge to install. Times sure have changed! Enjoy the drive!

    I had a very unique need to do a engineering fix for my new Carbon Fiber airbox for my 1995 348 Spider. Older year 348's have Oxygen sensor ports on the airbox, so my new carbon fiber airbox came with ports that I did not need for my Ferrari. I took a few pictures and some micrometer measurements I.D. & O.D. on the ports, and in less than 2 weeks I received a set of perfectly machined port plugs with 2 O-rings for sealing/hex compression bolts that look awesome. see the pics included. Quality work & I will be a new adopter of a Gothspeed exhaust system in the spring during my engine out major service.

    Ok, it's not edited or fancy, but here's a quick and dirty video I took today with the help of a friend. Don't have any good tunnels in Florida, but this storage lot had some decent acoustics.

    Ferrari 348 with Gothspeed Designs Exhaust - YouTube

    Exhaust is MUCH louder than the video suggests.

    I'll get some much better ones when I have a moment to set up better shots, and perhaps a few when the car isn't cold.
