    550 exhaust

    That more back pressure leads to more torque is a myth that seems to be unerasable. Backpressure leads to worse cylinder fill with fresh mixture,...

    Ferrari 550 Maranello Rear-Wheel HP?

    It is almost impossible that these power figures are at the rearwheels. Stevens did a series of dynoruns with his highly tuned 550. With 542Hp on...

    Question about 550 X-pipe exhaust mods

    Question about 550 X-pipe exhaust mods

    The dynamics are probably quite simple. With Xpipes the sucking of exhaust gasses out of the combustion room is being disturbed by backpulses...
