    Sorting out and in last stages-need headers , any tips on who can supply.Stebro will make new for 3700. Fearful of used. Any ideas.
    And finally need a valve and seals. Can anyone recommend a NYC or Long Island mechanic with experience in doing this. Thanks

    Muse,

    If you insist on Stebro, just order directly, you may be able to get a better deal if you cut out the middleman. However, for headers, I strongly recommend that you buy used originals then have them cerma-coated - I did this on my original '65 Ferrari 330 headers. They will last longer than I will, are original and overall, much cheaper. If you insist on stainless, but are not married to Stebro, try Timevalve.

    If you go used, a number of outfits are breaking up 400s, the headers shouldn't be too hard to find.

    For mechanic, if he will see you, use Francois Sicard (he is in CT) - he is the best; contact Tom Yang via www.tomyang.net for an intro. If he will not see you, got to Bill Pollard of Sport Auto (also in CT). I bring my car to Francois and I live in NJ.

    Regards,

    Art S.

    We can make an exact replica of your stock manifolds out of Stainless. With a ceramic coating it would be difficult to tell they are aftermarket.

    Braden,

    I'll bite. I am replacing my 330's exhaust. Considering my NOS ANSA pipes died in about 8 years, I'm not doing that again. My headers and Y's are fine (as previously mentioned) but I will likely replace the rest. I'm planning on something with correct fit but a more aggressive sound (stock is a bit too refined for my taste).

    Here is Timevalve's page with pictures of the original ANSAs for a 330 GT: http://www.timevalve.com/cat/ferrari/f02c.html What would be involved, and how much would it cost to build up something that would make me proud?

    Regards,

    Art S.

    If you have a spare exhaust, even damaged, we can use that to reverse engineer. If not, we will have to make it off of your vehicle.

    Production process:
    -Tooling produced
    -Reverse engineer system
    -CAD model drawn
    -Tubing CNC bent
    -Flanges machined
    -Muffler produced
    -All components welded in fixture
    -Tips polished
    -installation.

    The full process can take anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks depending on your muffler setup. We can also provide before and after dyno runs to chart any gains in power. Y-pipe back can range from $3,000-$4,000 depending on how it is configured.

    As a special note to anyone interested in general service: All labor is discounted 20% for August with free pickup and delivery to the Tri-state area.
