He posts in Italian which I can speak but only recently started parallel videos in English. His f355 journey is worth following he has a few earlier videos from him purchasing and then detailing with some very spirited driving. I do enjoy the passion and scenery with many of the Italian posters. I own a 355 so like most of you here I’m tuned in!
I see he's taken the suspension system out of Comfort Mode (I think he was a little confused about what the dash suspension light meant in one of his earlier videos)
One of the few vids of a 355 with a full Kline system, which has 4-1 headers. It’s definitely not on Capristo level imo. Seems like his low end hp is suffering as well. Beautiful system though. He does say the Speciale and the 355 are the two best sounding cars he’s heard in a tunnel, which says quite a bit considering his vast experience. Imagine if he actually had a proper exhaust on his car .
The sound is not a patch on a Capristo F355! The main benefit with that system is the weight savings it seems. The car looks like a dog down low with the valves open too.
I for one think he is great to feature the 355 regularly. Does not really matter if anyone thinks the exhaust is not better than another, or if the bloody suspension light is on. I have owned my capristo for 16 years and I think both sound great. So let's stop nit picking. Let's just be happy that this experienced guy has chosen the f355 to showcase with regular videos. Go Marchettino!
Don’t get me wrong I’m happy for him. Marco and I talk regularly regarding F355 and he took a punt on that exhaust. He went the road less travelled for sure and it’s up to him to decide whether it was a wise choice. Any F355 content is good content especially when it’s done right by a passionate guy like Marco.
Can someone expand on how you can tell that he is loosing low end power and why this system is inferior? I have never heard of Kline but was impressed to hear they were using inconel.
I’d say the culprit is the 4-1 header. I bought the Kline Inconel muffler and 100 cell cats for the Scud and it does add noticeable power. Certainly light-weight and patinas to a blue hue, which I love. 304 SS tends to start looking old quickly. Inconel stays sharp looking. If you like the Kline for inconel, substitute with Tubi headers. If you ask them nicely, Tubi can build the header in Inconel for you . Might even extract more F1 sound from the Kline muffler.
^^^^thanks...BUT......how can you "tell" from the video that he is loosing power? less than 500 miles ago the PO of my car replaced bad OEM headers with another set of excellent 8k mile OEM headers. Hoping with all new valve and guides that I might be able to get a lot of miles out of what i have? OR....next step is replace headers. PO also installed new Fabspeed bypass pipes and new Nouvalari Sport muffler, at the same time. am I "out of the woods" with header issues?
