I'm in the same boat. Finishing a drive in mine a year or two ago I noticed the right trim piece was missing. I found one for about $500 but...
Beautiful! I'm sure you'll love it like I love mine. Sometimes people comment on the "impracticality" of not having a real roof. But there are...
The OEM clamps are tack welded to the tailpipe (the end of the cat goes into the pipe). Ferrari did that just to hold them in position before they...
The center piece between the two clamp ends is a tight press fit onto the bolt shank. When you tighten it for the first time that piece gets moved...
Did you use a new clamp? Those clamps are designed to be used only once, so when you loosen it you need to replace it with a new one (yes, there...
That is a beautiful car. You're right, the color is fantastic. GLWS
If the manifold isn't under stress then they shouldn't crack. The flanges are now flat and the mounting holes elongated. Most important is to...
Great to meet you. If you ever drive up north stop by for a beer. Lots of nice cars last weekend, but no other 550/575 and really not many F430's....
MM stands for "Most Miles". If you don't know the story, Google will find a lot about it.
My F430 MK2 headers were leaking due to warped flanges. I machined them flat on a 4-axis horizontal machining center. The 4th axis was great as I...
There was an informal car show in Utah last weekend (over 70 cars). There was a crew from Brazil filming for a TV show and numerous civilian...
There was an informal car show in Utah last weekend (over 70 cars)[ATTACH] . I got to park in the place of honor next to MM Enzo. I posted this,...
No, they are not cracked and not leaking internally. They were only leaking at the flanges.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] To recap, a tech told me my MK2 headers (only 5,000 miles) were leaking. He thought they were cracked and also he noted a leak...
I agree - that's why I bought mine. And yellow is the best color for the Barchetta, I think. That's a great price. Mine has 50% more miles, but I...
But I think there are two reasons the headers crack. First, and increasingly well-known, the factory mounting is terrible, too rigid and won't...
That is very interesting and makes sense. Thanks for the info, before I spent 20 hours figuring out how to do it, only to decrease performance.
Has anyone drilled/knocked out the cats from their intact, non-leaking headers? If your headers don't leak, but you want them to run cooler and...
Very impressive. I've got CNC machining & turning centers if you need any aluminum parts.
Makes and Models (in the old SLC Ferrari dealer's building) works on Ferraris, although I think they do more Porsche and Lamborghini. They have a...
