Exhaust valves

Hi there,
There are already plenty of threads on here on how its done, including a write up by myself detailing A diy remote controlled valve on/off system for under $10-00.

Do it right, don't ghetto rig your Ferrari. Get a Capristo valve controller. Look, they are so cheap, so why wouldn't you? Best of both worlds.

I would of thought that fitting anything not fitted as standard on a Ferrari Is a “ghetto rig fitment “
What’s the difference? You spend several hundred dollars more and that makes it better?
Even though the same end results are achieved and completely The same?
The mod I fitted is completely reversible and un detectable if removed as is all of the mods I have performed and posted about, absolutely no wire splicing or butchering involved on any mod, I always make an interface for the original wires if needed, be it an aircraft, boat or automobile that I am wasting a few hours indulging myself.
I for one enjoy tinkering and making my own kit, I am good at it - as many other members here will be so I post for the benefit of everyone - after all isn’t that the reason why we are all members of this specialist forum to read each other’s stories, exploits and experiences of ownership?
Each to their own, but in my experience throwing money at something definitely doesn’t always make the end result better.
I also enjoy being thrifty ( laughable really as I own a couple of Ferrari’s and other exotic toys)

cheers Andrew

 

The controller might not be made by Ferrari, but it is a quality product that fits the quality and nature of the car.
There's a big difference between adding a quality product that works, which ADDS to the cars possibilities and retains its original functionality, as opposed to just disconnecting something so that the car does not work as intended. You will have loose tubes hanging, and you run the risk of getting dirt in both the vacuum lines and the solenoids. If you think the price of the controller is expensive, that's nothing compared to either a new rear exhaust or vacuum system, if that is damaged.

I'm a wrencher myself, and I'm all for tinkering. I've just never been a fan the idea of having something not working as intended if there's a way to keep things working. For me, it cheapens the car somehow. Saving money is something I value when it's possible. This is also why I've invested time and money in getting Surface Transform to make CCST discs for us 488/Pista/F8 guys.

And you're very right, to each their own. For me, 650$ is not much in the grand scheme of things for having the ability to enjoy both sides of what the exhaust has to offer.

At any rate, as long as you enjoy the car, that's the most important thing
