Ferrari Mailing List: Re: exhaust for 1981 308 GTSi

[Rui Gigante (rui.gigante]

Michael,

after running for 1h30m on 4 cylinders the exhaust would be the least of my worries. I would check compression, to begin with, and the cats if your car has them.
Having said that, last year I've bought a X-Ost for my 328. It's about half the price of a Tubi and I couldn't justify the cost (to myself).
It is very, very well made and the fitting was perfect. I love the sound!!! I went for the Sports version but they have a Race version if you want it louder. Ordered it directly from the factory in Italy (Maranello).

I had a huge problem with my 1981 308 GTSi. Turns out the crank sensor was broken. I was running on 4 cylinders driving for about 1h30. They don't make that part anymore. My mechanic found me a good replacement. All is well.

 

But the car is not sounding as beautiful as it once did. Sound is not as smooth as it used to be.  Seems I have a need for a new exhaust/muffler system. Too many tiny holes all around the old system. Says my mechanic.

 

Any tips as to where I can get a new system (exhaust/muffler) at a good price: meaning not unlimited budget.

 

Thank you!
