575 exhaust upgrade for a newbie

I have these with the stock mid-muffler. Perfect!

 

Very excited for you. I will be planning similar (stock headers > mid-pipes > Fabio bypass) for my 456M. Looking forward to when Fabio finishes my set!

 

I don't think I've seen a video that has the sound of this setup. I'll be interested to hear it!

 

You went to the top of the pyramid!

His headers will be on our car at some point (likely when the economy gets better and I am not paying for a kiddo in college!)

 

Could you post a video please!

 

Could somebody post a video of a full straight pipe Fiammenghi race exhaust on their car at full throttle and reviving ?

 

Those are not mufflers, just extended tailpipes. Should make some glorious noises and the HGTC style tailpipes look great.

 

These are very old videos I wanted to see something new

 

That's awesome you got to meet Fabio! Since buying from him we've exchanged many messages. He seems like a great guy.

I went with the full setup on my 550. Headers, 200cel cats, double H-pipes, and valved mufflers. Did the install myself. Only big issue was getting to all those 2 dozen header nuts. I also just got around to installing a dash switch to control the valves. As you'll see in the pic, the symbol is brighter white than the other switches, so now I'm going to want to redo all those! It's always something.

Fortunately the previous owner had put just the mufflers on, so at least I didn't have to pay for those. But yea, it's expensive, but his work is high quality and well engineered. The header design totally changes the sound.

 

I did the install a few months ago. I need to get some more vids, but here are two that I've shared before along with a comparison of a stock 3 port 550 manifold and Fabio's 6 port.

I've got that full setup on a 575, I can post/dm if you want.

I had muffler delete pipes on my 456M and they were great. The first video you posted was the first video Fabio made in 2015. At that time he had his 6-1 headers + corresponding catalyzers + his own X-pipe + his original HGTC mufflers. This set-up seems to be very rare for his customers as he have sold almost only double H-pipe. I had a test drive in Fabio's 575 with that set-up summer og 2015 which is the one he had in this video. The sound was amazing. Not loud at all. It just sounds very loud in the video. I commented that it was excellent sound, but should be a bit more volume... With the double H and/or with his custom mufflers, the cars will be more loud. In my opinion, a X-pipe + muffler delete pipes or sport rear mufflers would be the best sound.

 

I thought X-pipe with muffler deletes makes a helicopter sound on 456s? To be fair, I forget if it was X pipe, H pipe, or the straight bypass mid pipes that caused a helicopter noise when combined with the muffler deletes.

I have the straight mid pipe delete right now, and I don’t like the sound at all… Way too raspy. I am going to replace the factory mid pipe and add Fabio’s muffler deletes when he finishes making them for me.

 

When I first got my 550, it had all stock exhaust except for Fabio's mufflers and some unknown X pipe. For me, it was WAY too raspy (and I was coming from a 458 with headers and no cats). I hated it so much I actually bought a used OEM mid-pipe (also a double-H) to replace the X while I waited for Fabio's parts. The stock mid-pipes completely removed that raspy sound. Some my like this, it just wasn't for me.
