Exhaust brackets 430

Got my Capristo ones. Nice aproach to skrew them into the bolts that holds the rear cross member. Will probably be much better than the standard ones to avoid cracked exhaust manifolds.
Expensive, but seems to be able to do the job. The only modification I have done is to glue some soft spacers as shown. Don´t want any rattling between bracket and cross member.

Don´t realy understand what you mean. If you look at the picture the Capristo bracket is screwed with the 2 bolts that holds the cross member.
Then at a distance of aprox 10cm the bracket is eunning parallel to the crossmember. Since it is not tightened with another bolt in this end - I think there might be a chance that the bracket is ratteling against the member. Therefor I put something relative soft in between and then I tighten the two crossmember nuts.

Hello Stef - Yes these two brackets eliminates all other. No bracket connection to the gerabox. This is it.
If you look at the "new" brackets you can see that they can take up a lot of play in all directions. Seems to be a clever solution.

If I understand you right you might loosen the clamp connections to the catalyst and push everything a bit forward.
Or - if you have contact with the 2 horisontal screens - take them away and get a better airflow/heat out of the engine bay. I took mine of as a first mod.

Of course you can. I payed just about 580 EU for the brackets and about 390 EU for the two exhaust valves. + freight.

Not cheap, but seems to be excellent quality and a manifold breakdown is much, much worse.

Ahh - then I got that right then. Talked again with Captisto who is going to make a special muffler to me. More quiet than there standard and hopefully it will fit the combo I have.
Fabspeed manifold / Standard Catalyst / and have just ordered FabS rear tubing and valves.

If someone is interested in this let me know.

This must be the absolute final exhaust experiment for me. Way too costly. Have tried TUBI Evo Silencio and X-Ost Silent and now this. Have also a set FabS 200 cell that I havent used - and probably will not. If someone in EU is interested in these - let me know.

I want to have the car quiet on first step and screaming when valves are opening. That means I can travel in highway speed comfortable and listen to the new audio system I have.

Haha - I am not the only one that makes misstakes. On these beautiful pictures the brackets are fitted 180 deg wrong. Not a big issue, but will remember it next time I put something upside down.

2-3 cm is really Ok - I think. I have 365 mm wheelcentre to edge of fender front and 385 mm rear. Perfect to me.
If you got a 2-3 cm shorter springs - then it is just to screw the car up again. Haven´t you got adjustable coil overs?

Yes I am interested in stiffer springs so I am on. Now it is your turn to start a new thread about this.

all the best
