Yea but how much are these mods costing? This seems like pretty expensive stuff. But great none the less.

True, if I calculate the new retail price on all the mods, it's a lot, but I got some deals on those.
Plus it's easier to tell my wife that I bought a $120K car than a $190K car

Before I click on the video it shows the red and yellow 430 in front of a house. Do a video of the car with the house instead

Damn man your exhaust note is probably my favorite of any Ferrari ever. Any street car, really.

I can't wait for the stripes!

First, absolutely perfect F430. I love everything about it.

I'm curios about the exhaust under normal driving conditions. Is it civilized enough to take the wife on a drive and have a conversation, or is it business only? Lots of drone with the windows up? I'm good with sporty, just want to avoid obnoxious.

Also, did you have to do any type of ECU tuning? Didn't see that mentioned. Any issues with a CEL with the high flow cats? Thanks for showing us your toy!

did you end up switching back to stock springs, or did you leave the novitec springs in?

Still use the novitec springs, raised the fronts and lowered the rears a bit from the initial setup when the springs installed.

With windows up & just cruising at highway speed, it's quiet and NO droning:


I got "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1" code after 200 miles driving it, I'm installing the Fabspeed O2 extenders next week and we'll see.

I'm getting EVOMSit tune also next month.
