Has anyone here actually modified a 430 exhaust to fit their 360? There seems to be some conflicting information out there on how it's done. I've used the search function and found this article which makes it look like a pretty straightforward job: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ever-heard-a-360-modena-with-f430-exhaust-system.210496/ But then there's the Aldous Voice article which seems much more involved and mentions having to buy Stradale mounting brackets: https://aldousvoice.com/2012/11/16/converting-a-ferrari-f430-exhaust-to-fit-a-360/ Has anyone here actually done this and can clear up exactly what's involved. I'll be doing this at a friend's shop and can't afford to have the car tied up while we try and figure it out. Would need to get it in and out. Thanks in advance.
Yes I have a 430 exhaust on my 360 and it sounds amazing! But their is some work involved to make it fit as you have to remove your old exhaust and make a jig because the 430 tail pipes are too long and require cutting and welding. Here is my topic on the subject: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/430-exhaust-on-360.620015/
Problem with this is that they tend to be expensive due to being the challenge stradale exhaust. So its worth modifying the 430 tips, its not difficult just mostly time consuming.
I found mine for a really good deal and had them coated as well there out there. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
For anyone considering the conversion - the footprint and weight savings alone are drastic. I'm doing mine now, hope to have it done by middle of next week. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Watching with great interest. I have the 430 muffler, but haven't started the project yet. I've never (in person) heard a 430 muffler on the 360 - maybe if I had I would get on it sooner. Are you changing out the cats or headers? Due to the California smog laws I will probably not be changing any other exhaust components. Please share pictures as you proceed.
I did it 4 years ago on my 360. The sound was amazing. I bought end tips which looked almost the same as the Challenge Stradale exhaust. Image Unavailable, Please Login Verstuurd vanaf mijn J9210 met Tapatalk
@74dino246gts we are making progress on the modification. My fabricator has built a fixture for the job and will be able to modify 430 pipes for others in the future if there is interest. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nice work - that is looking very professional! Are those the tips that you will be using or will you try to find some tips that were rolled outward similar to the original CS exhaust? Please keep the pictures coming!
Watching this with interest too as wouldn't mind doing a similar job to replace the tubi fitted to my incoming 360...
I am going to see how these look on the car first. If I’m not happy with the look, the CS tips will be done in the future. I think these are going to look good. I have not seen many OE F430 exhausts with these tips.
These are likely the closest “off the shelf” option: https://www.carid.com/weapon-r/exhaust-tip-294693613.html
I'm VERY interested in this!! Please keep updating as to how this turns out! Kevin Sent from my SM-G960U1 using FerrariChat.com mobile app
We are getting close! Some minor tweaks after the test fit. Hopefully another week or so and it will be done.
