Met this guy at a local meet
Very knowledgeable, much like myself on the 512 TR
Those of you with a 550 can email me privately with regards to serious issues involving the fuel system
This guy owned one as a daily driver and gave me the 411 on the 550( read 348 type issues ugh)
That’s why he now owns a 575
Sounds similar?
That’s why you should never buy the first run of Ferrari model ever
Gentlemen I can’t not emphasize enough that you need to open the hood on your car after running it the heat has no where to go
It literally bakes key components under the hood
That’s it guys
Clyde, it was nice to meet you today, too. It was truly good to meet another owner who understands the issues with heat with these cars as well.
The test pipes I used to replace the aft cats are from Larini. Here's their website:
I sent mine out to Jet-Hot to have them ceramic coated with their highest thermal barrier, too. It was only about $200, and it was worth it.
The alternative is to have Fabio Fiammenghi build a complete exhaust system. His exhaust manifolds are a work of art, but not cheap. I think that might be my next mod, but it's a long way off:
Also, with the long road trips that you make with your 575M, you might be interested in adding cruise control. I did it a few years ago, and it's fantastic. the only caveat is that it's not as smooth as a true OEM application when coasting on a downhill grade; the magnetic pulses-per-mile pickup on the Hall effect sensor is not as sophisticated as a something engineered in a modern car, but it other than that minor issue, it works fantastic. I use it all the time when I'm on long trips:
Take it easy, and safe travels on your next trip!
