Another reason to buy F355

He was saying ad nauseum - "I wish I saved my money and bought a 348 instead"

The engine sounded nicer than stock in the lower/mid range but doesnt sound as good at high end - lot of sound for sure but doesnt have an Italian scream.

 

i am curious as to what lights he had whre the turn signals are? seemed like he had his lowbeams there too. makes the car look smoother at night. is that kit available?

 

Damn shame the links are now broken. That vid was epic. Yes, car sold to a gentleman in Korea.

Back in the day when it was still in Japan owned by GruppeM.

Sorry guys. Had to revive. I might have a cheap GruppeM exhaust coming my way. VERY rare. The only good clip of it was in this thread.

 

I’d love to test the 2.7 intake...

 

I’ve got one in storage. Should come in handy soon .

The GruppeM exhaust is simply rebranded from Racing Design Syndicate. OG Xavier, who lived 10 min away from GruppeM back in the day posted about this.

 

Time flies... it’s a whole new generation of 355 owners now. Who’s gonna stick around the longest??

Crazy ugly exhaust tips....

 

I suppose one should applaud their attempt to making something different but the styling of those tips seems a bit contrary to what some expect, I suppose some would like them however.

 

Tips can always be changed to your liking . The exhaust is $1000 before shipping/importing costs.

 

Red October shows up tomorrow. 355 parts coming out of storage

Haha bought my 99 in 2004. Still have it. Thought of selling it at some point, but NAH. So still same old gen owner here. LOL

 

You gonna show up to the 355 OC meet this Sunday?

 

That's the plan. ;-)

 

I take it back. Header/muffler setup on Mr. Ogase’s and Xavior’s car was not a rebranded Racing Syndicate muffler. It was a rebranded Saclam setup with GruppeM style oval tips. Y-pipe is removed from this setup.

“Therefore, it was changed to a silencer like this.
Of course, this exhaust pipe also needs the F1 sound of the 355.
The 355 Sakuram Sound was finally completed after having “Group M President Ogoshi” test drive it over and over again.

This job required both sound and high performance, so I learned a lot!

Sound clips of Xavior’s yellow 355 here:

 

This was and is my impression as well. Lots of low/mid range grunt, but missing that signature 355 top end scream. No Y-pipe design appears to be the culprit.
