    Hi all,

    I went out in a rather special 550 Maranello last weekend. It has had a full decat exhaust fitted which has unleashed the full V12 symphony, and more recently the owner has had a LM spec remap fitted from the guys at Michelotto... The combination of the savage sound and added power has transformed the car... A true Supercar!

    The only way you will be able to appreciate the experience is to watch this video: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbRW-s4wnzk[/ame]

    Out of interest, has anyone on here done these or other mods to a 550?

    Cheers
    Adam

    I wish there was someone to remap motronic 5.2's in SoCal. We are the hotbed of hotroding and car trend but no motronic ECU remappers! Humbug!

    Another UK owner had his 550 remapped last month by R&D Automotive, who use DMS' software/firmware. Said the results were superb.

    Was it a gentlemen in a Rosso Corsa 550 who drove up from London?

    Sounds like the same one. He also did a brake upgrade, steering ECU upgrade, larger sway bar, etc.

    Really nice guy, I was at R & D Automotive whilst they did the work, chatted with him for about 45mins, great car with some very nice upgrades, I also had a look over the individual coil packs hes had fitted too.

    I dont remember which exhaust he was running but it sounded awesome.

    How'd you like those COP's? That's an upgrade I put together for him and his tech at Damax installed them.
