How many 458 Italias with original ecu and exhaust crackles?

On the basis of this, I'll be going with 200 cell cats... But previously I was not going to do it, because I didn't want to deal with the issue of the CEL! Excellent.

 

You guys have no idea how loud my car is with cat deletes. Over-run burbles can be heard a mile away. Hopefully I'll have my race cats installed by the time I visit

 

Shotgun, Carlo style? If so, I give you my personal stamp of approval!!!

Kind regards,

Nuno.

 

HOW are we getting this done over here in Europe Nuno ???

 

Definitely not gun shots. Just very very loud burbles and crackles. It actually sounds nice but just too loud for neighbors when driving in race/ct mode.

 

For the EPROM back-up, I'm afraid you will have to send the ECUs to us. It's a bummer, I know. But only once. After that, you can do all tune updates/flashes at home.

 

It's not going to work for us over here in Europe I am afraid.

We will never send the 2 Ecu's to USA, risking they get lost or seized by Customs or ...

Find a partner oversees ... PLEASE !

 

Mel is right as indeed customs can be tricky on both ends.

Not to mention that I strongly suspect that Ferrari in my (small) country would be reluctant to say the least (or flat out refuse) to remove the ECUs and reinstalled them, just because I asked them to, without performing the service themselves and/fixing something themselves. Not being a mechanical guy, I rely solely on the official dealer. I suspect other european 458 owners may be on the same boat.

Not sure if european 458 owners are as aware as north-american owners regarding the loss of the pops and burbles, or if they're aware of how difficult it is to get them back. Personally, and from what I've learned from talking to other Ferrari owners, many north-american companies are admired here in Europe. Why don't european owners buy as much from them as they'd like? International shippings and customs. Either way, I fear there's no quick and easy solution to this.

Kind regards,

Nuno.

 

Let me see what I can work out with you guys overseas.

 

I predict a group run through every local tunnel...

 

GOOD ! ...

 

Mine makes all the noises. It's a 2010 with a tubi. Not sure if it has more than that done. The outer two exhaust pipes stay dirty so I think the valves stay open all the time. Maybe there's a cat delete too ?

Definitely way louder than the stock 458 I heard

 

Tubi did wonders in my 355: burbles on deceleration and a sound under full throttle that wakes up the dead.

Haven't heard an unflashed 458 fitted with a Tubi exhaust yet. How is it? What does it do to its glorious sound?

I actually love this: true F1 sound.

If I see another Tai Lopez youtube ad, I'm going smash my elbow into my monitor.

if you go to the 45 second mark and 3:20 i have some exhaust clips there. its louder than OEM, but not as crazy as the akrapovic or IPE systems.

 

I just got my 458 back from annual service and the crackles and pops are back! Stock everything. I can only assume there's been a firmware upgrade. Very happy. [emoji4]

Sorry, didn't quite understand your post.

Does it mean you had crackles and pops, lost them and after the yearly service with Ferrari, they're back? Is that it?

Kind regards,

Nuno.
