    There don't seem to be any recent articles on this. I know capristo, tubi etc are options. However I have found a UK company called nouvalari who have many years experience and have done many ferrari units. They seem more reasonably prices as well at £1.3K delivered. What do you guys think?

    I have a capristo system on my 599 which came with the car and I love it. For the testarossa a capristo system is £3.6K. Is it worth three times as much as the nouvalari? I think a tubi is £2.5K.

    I got a message back from Sam early this morning. Very nice reply and he sent a pic of the other muffler/pipe assembly. I searched YouTube and found a few videos with this pipes on 308 and 348 but nothing with a TR.

    Shipping to the US is about £200 he said, still not bad. Certainly looks like a clean solution for a very reasonable price

    How do I easily check whether my 89 testarossa has cats or not. I think it doesn't but want to be sure before I go ahead and order an exhaust.

    The precats must go also...You can't make music without tossing them too.

    That looks to be the European exhaust (https://www.eurospares.co.uk/parts/ferrari/testarossa-1985/exhausts/exhaust-system-not-for-us-sa-and-ch87-31020) and does not appear to have cats. I have the same system and the 3 into 1 pipes do not have cats inside. They also clean up really easily with some scotch brite pads and a little solvent...! The Nouvalari system should bolt right up to your system and reduce quite a bit of weight. Your car doesn't appear to have precats, so those aren't a concern here. In the US, this is a fairly rare system but common in other countries from what I've read. My car was grey-market when new so it has this non-compliant system (of course they cut the mufflers open and inserted cats....!!)

    Thank you. I thought so but thought I should check with the experts! I will get the Nouvalari ordered .. but still haven't decided whether to go for sports or super sports
