    Thanks for sharing. The exhausts were made by Ceretto (as well as either Spacem or Abarth?) when the 330 GTC/GTSs were built. The ANSA exhausts came out on later models and are commonly used as replacements.

    I believe Tom Yang uses a manufacturer that replicates the original Ceretto exhausts.

    Galletti was another company that made exhausts for the 330 GTC and 330 GTS along with Ceretto and Spacem. They may also have used Galletti main pipes with Ceretto end tips. I've read that Abarth exhausts were not used after 1965 so would not have been used on the 330 GTC. The IAC/PFA deduct 1/2 a point for using ANSA exhausts (introduced on the Daytona) on the 330 GTC. I'm sure Dyke Ridgely will know.

    Article seems to imply you drive her quite a bit, which I appreciate hearing/reading.
    How many miles since you got her and/or after the engine rebuild ?
    Did she receive other mechanical rebuild/service updates for chassis/suspension, transaxle, etc ?
    If yes, how noticeable are before/after handling or performance improvements ?

    hi Timo
    About 100 miles since the rebuild…..night an day difference. Also did the tom Yang suspension update as well as a redo of the rear parcel shelf, throw out bearing, front suspension.
    New correct luggage straps and a few other things.

    See the very thoroughly researched article on original exhausts on the IAC/PFA website.
