Capristo Exhaust Brackets.

I attempted to adjust it yesterday before closing her up. Compressing the springs lowers the tips and uncompressing (Loosening) the spring bolt raises the Tips. The only way that I got it to come close to being even is to compress the spring almost to max compression on the drivers side and loosening almost to full on the passenger side... And even after doing this, the tips were still slightly off but a lot better than before.
I was kinda bothered by the passenger side spring/bolt being so loose that I gave it a few turns to compress because I was worried the nuts would vibrate off. I also didn't like the fact that the drivers side springs were almost completely compressed so I loosened them up a bit too. So needless to say, my tips are still not perfectly even...

 

The springs all need to be set the same for them to work properly. Have you tried adjusting the height where the brackets mount to the chassis?

 

Are these capistro brackets?

 

BlacktopRacing-----YES those are Capistro brackets.

 

Thanks. They came with the car, along with the factory sport exhaust.

 

Doesn't look like factory sport exhaust

 

It is. It's been confirmed. What do you see that makes you think it's not?

 

There's only a glimpse, but your pictures seem to show the large rectangular single can muffler box. The OEM Sport Exhaust has, I believe, two separate smaller and more oval units. There's a thread here with pics.

 

As JWeiss stated, there appears to be only one central muffler can. the OEM sport system has two separate mufflers, one for each side.

 

I was told it was a sport exhaust that Ferrari came out with years after the introduction of the 2005 F430 (2008, I think?), and that it LQQKED like a stock exhaust, but with freer-flowing muffler and black tips. Could there be more than one "sport exhaust"? Thanks.

Twin mufflers one each side. Tubi I believe.

OEM sport exhaust made by Tubi

 

That's it, very nice.

 

Ok, now this is contrary to what I was informed in another thread (my post). That is, the sport exhaust had black tips, instead of the stock tan ones. So I'm back to not knowing what I have, other than an oem muffler. Frustrating.

 

The OEM sport exhaust can be purchased with either chrome or black tips.
Never saw a tan exhaust tip either oem factory, oem sport exhaust or after market

 

Doesn't look like there's much adjustment where the bracket bolts onto the chasis back there.

 

After upgrading to Fabspeed Headers and Straight pipes, I finally got to adjust the tailpipes evenly utilizing the Capristo Mounts.
It appears that the only way to adjust the tailpipes is to play with the pair of adjustment bolts/nuts on each side of the capristo mounts.
Had to first loosen both sides completely along with the clamp that holds the catalytic to the muffler. After initial adjustments were made where it's approx 90% straight, I then torqued the catalytic/muffler clamp back and made final adjustments via each pair of Capristo Mount Bolts/nuts.

Installed a stage 3 racing exhaust on the 430 a few months ago... We had to fabricate a jig to hold the pipes in place while we set the brackets.

Interesting... it's definitely a two man job without a jig. Could you share a pic of that jig for anyone tackling this job themselves in the future.
