Does anyone have high res pics of 308 GTBs with single exit exhaust?

As you requested. The single pipe exhaust was not rare or an option. It was standard on Euros. Many owners replaced the single outlet muffler with the optional dual twin-tip sport muffler.

The single tip was early Euro cars only right?

 

No, only left...

 

The single tip was early Euro cars only correct?

 

If I had the answer, I would tell you, but I don't.
Just couldn't resist that small joke...

 

Hey all, I want to convert my single exhaust euro car to quad outlet.. anyone done this before? is changing the valance necessary? and it appears the quad exhausts have an extra link pipe instead of the one pice as the single outlet? any advice really appreciated.

 

I have the quad exhaust in place of the single tip exhaust. Depending upon the brand that you select, you shouldn’t need to alter the valance. The exhaust is a single piece. Here are a few pictures. I have the ANSA exhaust installed. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

It looks rather odd if you don't.

 

Thanks! What about using the standard Ferrari 308 4 tip exhaust? Would the valance have to be changed for that? I guess it depends on the height of the exhaust tips?

 

It looks odd whichever exhaust as long as the cut-out for the single pipe remains

 

ANSA Marmitte in Italy was the OEM manufacturer of exhausts for Ferrari. This twin tail pipes setup was a factory option for Euro models. The advantage of keeping the valance unchanged is that you or someone in the future can convert back to original if desired.

 

yes but would the quad pipe fit in the balance with only one cut out?? Are quad pipes lower?

 

Don't the photos in post #8 clearly show that ?

 

Like 4right said in post #8, it depends on the brand. I have seen quad pipe exhausts which required a second cutout on the right, because the pipes sit at the same height like the single pipe.
I have the ANSA without the single cutout.

That’s an aftermarket exhaust.. not an original. I wanted to know if an orginal quad pipe would fit without having to cut bits out.

 

Splitting hairs !

 

Dont do it. Keep her original and tidy

 

Dont see how this is splitting hairs as it is quite likely that the original exhaust has the tips higher than the aftermarket one pictured. If I buy an original one it might therefore not fit my car.

Just because the manufacturer is the same does not mean the exhaust is the same.

 

AFAIK there never was such a thing like an "original 4-pipe exhaust" for the Euro carb cars.
If it would have been a factory option -like for instance the 16" wheels- you would find it in the spare parts book. But there's nothing.
Or do you plan to install an US-exhaust in your EURO car? That would no more be original as well.

Its one and the same Jack. Regardless if the exhaust on my 308 has been replaced at some point in its life, its the original OEM manufacturer that Ferrari used, not aftermarket. If you go with ANSA, it will fit without alterations to the valance. Cant speak too any other brand that you may be considering.

 

Look to the North American cars with a shroud, that fit the Factory quad tip Thermoreactor muffler.

They hang totally below the "Mail Slot" rear valance.
ANSA units emulate that, but are JUST enough wider the damn grill wont go back on.

I'm having some made, but in any event it's two different designs and two different rear valences.
I rebuilt a hack saw job on one of my cars so had to order the required parts.

 

I have seen some Euro cars that have two notches into the valence for a four tip.

In my mind those are custom fabrications or possibly a late carbed Euro car., of the early 80s.
No idea....
