Yes indeed. Will be at Maranello tomorrow early and then the rest of the day racking up some miles.

Blue, as a fellow spyder pilot I heartily recommend a free flow exhaust, the noisier the better. You'll love it and so will everyone else!

Great news on insurance - sounds like it's meant to be :)

Get to Charlie at Prospeed and get a full system including cats, will cost less than a pair of Larini backboxes and free up a lot of torque, power and improve response.

Back in the office after picking up my Spyder lovely 60 mile drive from Marranello. Chris Evans was there having a custom 458 California handed over.
The 05 Spyder felt a lot more solid than my previous 52 reg and the blue nettuno and avorio leather really looks the business.

I'd be interested to know more about that!

So, CE gets his toys from Maranello then....

Andy, I had a pair of straight through rear pipes made for £330 (I think), coupled with Larini sports cats (already on the car) and the standard x silencer. As a result, I have a fairly sonorous wake as I pass by and most people feel moved by it! It's a thousand times better than standard.

Got yourself a great sound for little money then Benny...I look forward to hearing it some day as its a bit of a legend as I understand.

I only bought the cheapo straight throughs to see if I could live with the volume, I can! It apparently helps to liberate a few horses too according to DMS.

So Blue, how are you finding your new car? Have you got all the bugs ironed out yet? Fantastic weather for spyders at the moment and I hope you have been able to make the most of it.
