retro fit Granturismo MC shift sports exhaust..??

[V8Smith]

Hi guys, Im currently in the hunt for a Maserati Granturismo and would love an MC Shift 4.7 but should I only be able to get a 4.2 Auto, can the MC shift sports exhaust be retro fitted to a 4.2..? If not are there any other exhausts that sound as good, tubi etc... I must say the MC shift is one of the best sounding cars Ive heard.

Cheers

Picked up my S MC Shift last week and you're right the noise is incredible.

If you're looking for a dealer car I can recommend Anthony at Graypaul Nottingham, I'm sure he'll help find you a car. Best buying experience I've ever had. He might be able to advise you on aftermarket exhausts or point you to someone in the dealership who can.

You can fit the 'S' exhaust to the 4.2 and the noise really does sound amazing. Pretty much exactly the same. I have an exhaust that has covered 1k miles. If you want it, PM me.

If you fit the S exhaust to the normal 4.2, will the butterfly valves in the exhaust still be operated by the Sport button (i.e. does the 4.2 have the wiring in place to enable to butterfly valves to be operated as if not, they'll either have to be permanently fixed open or closed...and you definitely don't want them closed!).

If you're looking at a 4.2, is the 4.7 really that far-out price wise to be unattainable?

I only ask as it's not just the flaps that make a big difference....things like the brakes a massively different. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the brakes on the 4.2 are not fit for purpose as a guy I know who owns a 4.2 can make them dangerously ineffective by doing just 2-3 heavy braking sessions from (admittedly fast) motorway speeds. Indeed, the brakes on my 4.7 are only just about acceptable!

Its the 4.7 I want, the 4.2 was possibly an option, as my mrs is pregnant and there was a small chance there was twins..... not anymore so its a 4.7 Im getting
