what exhaust options are available for the 456?

1994 modell GT (in case there is some difference between the models)...

As probably most of us, I really love the sound of the V12 Ferrari's, but my 456 has the original exhaust and is both quiet and sounds a bit "strangled" from the outside when I floor it.

I would like to get the typical howling and crisp "F1 style" sound if possible on high rpm. But not too much resonance on 2-3000rpm when cruising. What is the trick?
Yeasterday I saw a clip on youtube of a Japanese 550 with exhaust from Brilliant exhaust or something like that. The noise it made was insane!

Does some of the exhaust parts from a 550 fit on a 456? I'm mainly thinking of headers and downpipes as headers for 550 apparently is possible to buy aftermarket, but not 456 ones.

I guess the kreissieg would be one of the best sounding, but I really hope to spend a bit less than 8500-9000 USD pluss shipping and 25% import tax to Norway for a new exhaust...

Actually I was hoping it was possible to find some used parts, so I could test some different setups.

Also I'm looking for movie clips of 456 with aftermarket exhaust, but I can't seem to find any good ones, but with 550 it's easy.

 

To not drive me crazy on longer drives, I would like it to not make too much rumble on 2-3000 rpm on cruise. And personally I don't think it's that much out of character with a bit more v12 noise. It depends on the color of the car, and what wheels it has. But if course, we can always have our own personal opinions both about how the car should look and sound. One of the main reasons that I bought a 456, was that I could not afford a 550 in the state I want it, and I don't like the typical "look at me I'm a someone"-style of the 90's mid engined cars. I wanted a fast, comfortable and subtitle looking car. But need more sound....

 

For now, I just sent a mail to Nouvalari to order the center exhaust witout the muffler (actually I dont know if they sell the x-pipe or straight pipes).

BTW: My center resonator does not look like in your picture, Taz. It looks more normal (not like 2 separate ones), and it says both "Ferrari" and "Ansa" on it. Did Ansa produce the original exhaust for this cars?

And would the supersprint headers (or simular) for the 550, fit on a 456?

 

Here is some pictures of what Nouvalari have for the 456. But I don't belive my car has a slip on type of exhaust. Instead it has the flanges that's showed on Bradan's pipes.
Is it some differences of the style between the years the 456 was made?

And here, the type of connections/flanges Bradan uses, and I belive are the same as on my car.

Do someone sell straight thru mufflers for the middle section? I've now found some rear pipes without mufflers, and are thinking that probably the x-pipe or straight pipes for the center without dampening would be to loud.

Maby Bradan could make? Or maby you at fabspeed?

 

After years of trouble, and Dan's passing last year, I did not know that Stebro still existed and made exhaust??

I bought Stebro for my GTV6 back in 2006, KNOWING it would be a lot of trouble (and of course it took me half a year and a lot of e-mails to get it), but did it anyway because that on the GTV6 it's simply absolutely no other manufacture witch comes EVEN CLOSE to the heavenly sound it makes on that old busso engine!!

If it's possible to get hold of stebro, and the quality of the welding is good (saw some really bad work in arround 2009-2010), I would probably buy it...

 

Just my way of thinking!

 

I just ordered the pipes from Bradan and are now about to order the rear boxes from Nouvalari, but first I need to be 100% sure of one thing!

Are the rear mufflers on the old GT and the newer Modificata of the same types/sizes? Do the flanges fit?

Nouvalari did not know about that the older cars used a flange fitting for front pipes and center exhaust, so they only sell a slip on type there. But their back boxes have a flange, so I guess they are bolt on on the older GT-modells? Or are they not?

Thanks!!

 

Today I mounted the Bradan center pipes and Nouvalari rear exhaust on my 456. I think it sounds very nice! Not too much at normal driving either.

Sorry for my coughing.

 

Thanks Taz, I really love my 456.

The Giulia is owned by a good friend of mine. A 1600 super.

 

A video from the inside also. Both a tunnel and the open road.
