Another Happy 458 - FABSPEED Headers + Sport Cats

Shortly after the F458's U.S.debut - FABSPEED Motorsport was one of the first manufactures in the world to develop and produce an exhaust solution for the Ferrari 458.

Since then, we have done an abundance of in-house installations of various configurations and shipped countless 458 systems to customers all over the globe!

Hands down my favorite configuration on a 458 is our sport headers and sport cats in conjunction with the OEM rear muffler section. This setup is essentially just a little bit more aggressive then OEM with the valves closed, and then an absolute animal with the valves open! Literally the definition of having your cake and eating it too!

Enjoy!

That sounds very good!

 

Like. Any footage of just the headers -- Stock cats and mufflers?

 

Will sound considerably softer with stock cats, gotta have high flow cats to have that aggressive and full high db tone

 

GREAT ! Supply us with all info please via [email protected] !

 

Has anyone replaced just the cats? Does "high-flow" equate to "low-function"? i.e. is the catalytic function/result any different between stock and aftermarket? We're talking about the cat's original function, not the flow rate through the cat.

 

Thank you!

Unfortunately I do not have a clip with just the headers. Without the sport cats, the car will be a bit quieter then the car in the clip. For best results, I recommend going with the headers in conjunction with the sport cats - but there is still something to be gained if you install the headers alone.

Sent you an email!

High Flow cats filter emissions to the extent that the o2 sensor is satisfied, this should insure that the check engine light does not illuminate.

 

Well done

 

Fabspeed shall we talk about Client CELs now or later as with your Cats they seem prevalent ?

 

Universal O2 Spacers - Fabspeed Motorsport

I see that you are for some reason even still selling the marvellous remarkedly stupid 90 degree O2 sensors which cannot be mounted with the Cats in situ as they don't clear the gearbox, haven't you p*ssed enough people off yet, did you order 5,000 from Taiwan and you haven't run out of stock yet ??

 

and don't you think you should let the Happy Client post himself, rather writing his testimonial ?

 

Sure, lets see if we can get to the bottom of it.

These are UNIVERSAL spacers, they work on many different vehicles - that being said, they may not fit all vehicles. If you are talking about an o2 sensor spacer for a 458, you need to order our 2 piece o2 sensor spacer, shown below:

I didn't write a testimonial for him, I simply shared a video of our work and talked about our product - no harm in that.

Hopefully the customer does chime in with his own thoughts on the system - I think we can all benefit from that!

 

We can certainly talk about it, why are your pics different from the ones I posted from your website and the completely different product you sent me some time ago when your cats triggered a CEL then ??

If you received a 1 piece o2 sensor spacer when you needed a 2 piece o2 sensor, I apologize. A simple call to our facility and we would have sent you a set of 2 piece o2 sensors so that you could complete your installation without delay.

One thing to note is that upgrading a car isnt always a perfect science. We use the best catalytic converter cores on the market - HJS. Some cars are more just "finky" then others, and they did not always react well to an aftermarket catalytic converter. This occurrence is not often - actually very rare - but when it does arise, we do our best to work through the problem with the customer. If you have an issue Richard, please feel to reach out - [email protected], and CC myself on the email - [email protected] as well.

I am not sure where you are going with this...but we won't be deleting any links, our o2 sensor spacers are a very popular product.

 

you have simply have no idea what you are doing, you are still selling these & so why are you posting a picture of something else, these are useless to anyone

No Richard, I am fairly certain on what products we do and don't carry and how these products work.

Let me break it down for you:

The photo you shared is our universal o2 sensor spacer, this spacer works on MAJORITY of vehicles.

For some vehicles, such as the 458 and 430 - where space constraints exist, we use a 2 piece spacer - pictured above in my post. We ask our customers what vehicle the spacers are going on when they make a purchase. If their vehicle is one which requires a 2 piece spacer, we send them a 2 piece spacer opposed to the universal 1 piece spacer.

I hope this clears up your confusion on the topic Richard. If there is still something else, please feel free to get in contact with me or anyone else here at Fabspeed.

 

I am using hjs 200 race cats,cell just came on but i was using 4 month without cell.
And now with the cell on i decided to remove cats and straight pipe the whole exhaust system trough mufflers to tips
It sounds INSANEEE

 

Did you get the cats through us? I am sorry to hear about your CEL, but glad you came to a new solution - straight piped F-Cars sound amazing, but its not for the faint of heart!

PS: I got your PM, but your PM box is full. We shipped out your CF air box lid yesterday, it should have arrived today.

 

I got them directly from germany.
Airbox is arrived thanks

 

Hmmm I guess thats why you sent me the wrong ones for my Scuderia some time ago then after I had ordered the Cats from you and got a CEL afterwards and why you still advertise a picture of the wrong ones on your website for both the 458 and 430

 

Can you upload a video, please. I'm thinking to upgrade the exhaust as the warranty is few months left.

 

Sure here are some first day videos
Previously i had innotech headers race cats and novitec mufflers,after straight pipes,sound is increased by %30-40 and when the exhaust valve is closed it is same as stock
