Decatalyst downpipe with Capristo Ferrari 458 stainless steel thermal blankets
These lightweight test tubes fit in place of heavy OEM catalytic converters. Using test pipes removes the flow restriction that a catalytic converter places on an exhaust system, while increasing horsepower.
This version includes custom hand-sewn heat blankets to reduce temperatures under the bonnet, protecting the surrounding body, hoses and painted surfaces from damage due to residual heat.
The silencing effect of the converters is also eliminated, enhancing the aggressive sound of the engine. Test tubes are ideal for track days and racing applications.
For 458 Italia/Spider/Speciale/Challenge. Brackets require light massaging for non-Italian models**
On applicable models, the center section is made flexible as an additional protective feature against vibration damage to the Manifold pipes and Lambda or oxygen sensor caps are pre-installed and threaded.
Made of T309 (1.4828) stainless steel.
IMPORTANT:
The tubes may activate a CEL (Check Engine Light).
< p>To disable a recurring CEL you will need to tune the ECU or use 02 sensor extensions.*Recommended for off-road and track use only*
