FERRARI F430 (+CHALLENGE) - LARINI 'GT3' EXHAUST ASSEMBLY (INCO)

The Larini philosophy is that the sporting vehicle must be super light. The key enemy for vehicle efficiency and dynamics is weight. Performance is not solely a number of horsepower - as power to weight ratio is equally important. Developed via racing, Larini's technologically advanced lightweight designs, unique sounds, and elite constructions, will assist the driver and vehicle to perform in the most demanding of environments. Whilst still satisfying those enjoying their super sports car on a regular basis.

There is no substitute for experience gained through Track & Endurance competition. To sample this please contact Larini.

LARINI - Designed to Win.

INCREASED DURABILITY -

Heat expansion can cause system movement up to 2.5 cm approx. While this is not uncommon, as the original gearbox exhaust bracket fixes the system quite rigidly, additional damage can be caused to the tail pipe sections and cats through heat expansion. Our alternative method of the exhaust system mountings ensures that our lightweight exhaust system can be fitted without excessive rigidity. It also allows our exhaust system to expand and contract during the harshest of driving heat cycles.

The F430 Challenge and GT racing cars, driven to destruction, as original have a lighter weight muffler with no wide width tailpipe cat sections, and no pre-cats... exhaust line cracking is rare. Ditto the road derived 430 Scuderia and 16M. Hence, when fitting Larini F430 mufflers, it is imperative the complete supplied bracket kits be fitted to ensure lengthy service life of our product.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT -

Heat is a major issue in the back of any rear engined Supercar, and the F430 is no different. The stock exhaust box has an outer skin with a thermal matting placed underneath.

** For ultimate performance, thermal management, AND DURABILITY, the Larini GT3 Assembly features custom designed, double layer, INCONEL SUPERALLOY Dual Heat Shielding Technology (with internal performance insulation). Perfected through the racing programme & tested to destruction in the harshest of thermally volatile environments - this technology offers unrivalled, and SUSTAINABLE, vehicular exhaust performance. Little else comes close.

THE METHODOLOGY -

Bulky single skin exhaust shielding is used by OEMs to safely 'manage' engine bay temperatures. Larini evolves that application further to aid overall vehicular performance. Larini uses superior, lightweight, ultra-thermally efficient shielding to protect engine bay components from damage by the massive heat generated by the F430 exhaust line. However, by Dual Shielding, keeping the lightweight inconel shield tight to the exhaust AND double insert-insulating the exhaust component, overall 'performance' now increases too... Keeping the heat within the exhaust by limiting external dissipation as much as possible, means the hotter the internal expelled exhaust gas is - the faster it flows - this is physical law. Faster expulsion of exhaust gasses results in less pressure backing up to the engine, and vitally- increased engine performance.

Dual shielding is an overtly complex and labour intensive technology to apply. Yet, Inconel Dual Heat Shielding Technology is the barrier favoured for use in F1 engine component packaging by Manufacturers - obsessed with chasing durability AND outright performance in the thermally volatile demands of the modern Turbo Charged/Hybrid era. Primarily, without doubt, as it is unlikely to fail to perform to an elite level, under prolonged and aggressive heat cycling. (It will not wear away or fall off, being durable enough to endure repeated physical handling and use under the pressure of competition).

PLEASE NOTE -

The use of heat-safe shielding is used on the stock rear exhaust box itself. Due to the internal packaging and critical operating temperatures of the F430, an aftermarket unshielded large diameter rear exhaust may risk exposing the surrounding engine bay components to 'heat soak' damage. When replacing the rear muffler on a F430 - the driver must be sure of the credibility of the aftermarket thermal barrier on the exhaust being used. A paint-based barrier IF not applied correctly, may not suffice as a longterm option in this instance. (Every thermal barrier has its place on the thermal spectrum - but must be rated accordingly and applied correctly, as per thermal requirements - many 2nd tier re-sellers tend to be unable or unaware of this as they rarely work on the project vehicles themselves).
