355 Exhaust...Easy questions!!

[birdcage]

Bought a 355 today. Lovely car and great fun, not noisy enough with standard exhaust though fact. The occasional Ferrari bark from 1st to 2nd but after my CSL feels like I am driving underwater...Ditto GranSport...

So...Simple questions.

Which exhaust
How Much, approx
Who can fit near London while I wait/or pick up car and deliver back.

Thanks!!

Have experience of Capristo, Tubi and Larini and they are all fantastically made systems, with a top sound. Tubi's were the weapon of choice on the 355, but I think Capristo and Larini have lept ahead on that car, based on the cars I have heard. Capristo is great on the f355, but do not do Maserati systems while the Larini sports exhausts sound very screamy on the 355 and mega on the 4200/GranSport (from first hand experience). http://www.larinisystems.com/video.php always found www.autofficina.co.uk in chessington/London uber helpful. Not sure about prices, as it was a a while back.

Either way, one of those 3 companies will satisfy most requirements

Good luck with your choice.

Capristo on a 355, no question. Verdi is your man.

Couldn't agree more, great guys

To the OP.........I take it that the 355 ended up fitting in your garage OK?????

[birdcage]

Thanks, yes it did just although the first time of getting it in was V V stressful!

[andyleeds]

how much would a sports exhaust cost? ball park....also birdcage how much space did you have to spare fitting it in, wasnt yours 79 inches?

[birdcage]

Not sure on cost of exhaust, have no clue actually as no one has called me back as yet and anyone who has had one done recently is being shy on giving price..

In terms of garage, it is 85" at narrowest point and car actually goes in with mirrors extended which is handy, then once inside I can get out of one side which has a blanket nailed to wall !

its 100" inside wall to wall. You have to be confident going in though as I have an F1 and its a sod at slow speeds!!

Capristo is £2,200

[Cactussed]

That's about the right price, sadly. But it is by FAR the best system on a 355. Hands down.
Verdi are the importers.

yes it is, the sound is nothing short of epic.

Drew you've got a couple of youtube clips right?


pretty good on a 360 too.

[andyleeds]

do capristo's ever come up 2nd hand as the one that i am looking at has the standard ferrari one on it and am concerned that the sound wont do it for me....

[andyleeds]

looks like we are good to go on the garage width sounds like your garage is the same size as mine!

The Larini exhaust is £1600.00 plus Vat, and I had mine fitted by JMH Ferrari in Cheshire. They had a 355 with a Capristo in at the time, and believe me the sound was just as good as the Capristo. In fact I forund it 'boomed' less in the cabin, which was important to me as I do not want to feel uncomfortable in the car. So, I had it fitted with a guarantee that if I wasn't happy with the sound it would be taken off - I kept it, and never looked back as it were That thing absolutely screamed it's knackers off all the way to the redline. Much lighter than the Capristo too, which is huge. Still, either sounds good.

Get a Tubi

[Basher]

If you can find one ITO...awesome awesome exhaust.... if not Capristo

[jdw1234]

Capristo or you will just upgrade later.

ITO is excellent, but really expensive.

Capristo is a great sounding exhaust, for sure. I just always find it strange when guys say it is the 'best ever by far...EVER' (in Clarkson-esque tone) Why does the OP not try all the main ones and get the exhaust companies to pay for the fitting in exchange for some PR? He then just pays for the winner. Oh, and take a driving clip of all of them together - then we will know for sure Although, I do appreciate that sound is subjective.

I've got a Larini on my 355, can't say I like it. It's too quiet really. Still got cats on my car. Quality is not a patch on the Capristo either. It's good at cruise as it's not too loud but to be honest the Capristo is so much better on all levels I don't think there is really an alternative. You could look at a Mille Miglia from Australia. The vid on youtube sounds fantastic but I'd like to hear a more extended clip before I purchased and I'm pretty sure quality won't be close to the Cappy.
