Can't wait to hear that one!

 

BTW, you really only need to install the rear heat shield to protect the tail lights. The rest of the heat will just vent through the lid.

 

Thanks for that tip. whats the best way to put a video clip on here?

 

Upload youtube and then copy the link and paste it here.

 

Here's my 1st attempt. I have stock header, Hyperflow Cats and a Magnaflow Tru-X SS muffler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPBFruwXc8I

 

not the best video. if spring ever gets here I will do another one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyGXTUOgxxo

 

Here's another, not super loud but comfortable on trips with my wife! 1991 Ferrari 348ts, idle and some light revs - YouTube
Lost about 100 lbs weight on the back with this system!

 

I have home made test pipes that i welded the O2 and thermocouple bungs in and Dynomax race bullet mufflers and the x-pipe. tips are cherry bomb with resonators.

 

That sounds good! And it looks really cold there!! Make sure you get a video on the road when you can. Bet it will be awesome..

 

Here's a picture of what it looks like inside!

Nice looking weld on the brace! I like how you ran the pipes. It took me 3 different tries to get it the way I liked it. It's the never ending winter here in Illinois. Can't wait to get it on the road again.

 

I used the stock mounts, so it allows some flex to the system. It is all thread with tubes on top, makes it adjustable. I designed the system myself and had a friend do the welding.

It's an Endless Summer down here. High was 78 and the low tonight is 74! Normal winter weather. In the Summer it's 92 high and 87 low on average. Doesn't change much from day to night. I love it!

 

Thanks for rubbing it in. I have 2 feet of snow in my yard! I used rubber exhaust hangers bolted to the stock brace where the muffler was hanging from so it can take some of the vibration.

 

Wow, I need that sound on the Mondial!

...question is of cause if the Police would not stop me for that...

Compared to stock, how much as the volume increased do you figure?
Just quite loud or rattle-your-teeth without earplugs loud?

Cheers, Niclas

 

My dream setup would have perfect back pressure for the rpm and throttle position with adjustable sound via the cockpit for different moods

 

Sort of like the old mood ring but for your exhaust

 

I have Tubi headers, Hyperflow cats and Tubi exhaust, very happy with the set up, no CELs and sounds great. Both my mechanic and I were too uncomfortable going with headers that did not have integral heat shields so it limited the choice to either Tubi or stock at the time in 2007. Looking back, the only thing I might change would be changing the Tubi exhaust for a Capristo Stage 3.

 

What about the GothSpeed muffler? I loved the sound of that!

 

can't really tell yet i haven't had a chance to drive it yet. i'll keep you posted when i do.

 

LOL your as old as me

 

So did I.

 

Money no object, this would be my perfect setup, with a Capristo exhaust instead of Tubi (nothing wrong with Tubi, just prefer the high pitched scream of the Capristo).

So; Tubi headers, Hyperflow cats, Capristo exhaust.
And Gruppe M intake, despite not really liking how it looks...

 

If I had a 355, it'd be with:
Tubi headers
GothSpeed muffler
HyperFlow cats

 

yeppers, thats the perfect three way!
