The Ultimate in High Pitch Ferrari F1 Sound

[@MuddyTubMedia]

That is one of the greatest sounds man has ever created

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha it's pretty damn good

[@johnsn10]

A good way to check for exhaust leaks is you plug one of the mufflers with a towel and then you put a shop vac with the air blowing out into the other muffler and then you can just feel around all the connections for air coming out.

[@normalguysupercar]

Interesting idea.

[@Mark_Bloom]

It screams! It sounds like I am watching a GP when you open it up. Worth every penny. I bet it sounds so much better in real life

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it's even better in real life

[@callyk5678]

The scud has to have one of the best automated manual boxes ever. My absolute dream car, no matter how much money I had this would be the first car I bought 👌

[@normalguysupercar]

Couldn't agree more!

[@chenglo8999]

I agree. I love my F430 and would only sell it to fund a Scud. Stupidly waited til Scuds are at an astronomical price. Years ago, the delta was only 20k

[@ndpesicgroup]

You hear the difference at higher rpm for sure.... such a great art piece for an exhaust....

[@normalguysupercar]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hernanhernandez3861]

Good tuners are worth their weight in gold. I've been using Jags Gill from ECU Tuning Group since 2008. He solved a CEL on my R8 that the dealer could not figure out. Most "tuners" just copy the same tune over and over again. Dealerships no longer have full Bosch diagnostic capabilities; they simply upload files to the factory when there is a problem to try to figure it out. Lot's of forum wars as to which company has the best tuner. If you find one that works for you stick with him/her.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup agreed

[@toddjones9715]

Glorious sounds every car should sound that well.

[@normalguysupercar]

OH yes.

[@haroldmclean3755]

New exhaust sounds unbelievable 👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@ftboomer1]

Oh my. That valvetronic is amazing.

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh yes

[@dhabbott41]

The exhaust is a work of art and of hard work.

[@normalguysupercar]

It turned a nice blue color after getting hot. Really cool looking

[@Adrianmichael04]

Valvetronic makes a perfect exhaust for 430s and 599s, opens it up for the better. ❤

The new exhaust sounds fantastic! Another great job Dan.

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@MarcelSchäfer-e6z]

I don't know, I kind of like the original sound of the 430. It's unique. Needs a manual valve control and that's it.

[@chriss7682]

yes the original pot sounds more voluminous and better at low speeds

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm gonna have to strongly disagree

[@BUMHEAD1100]

You can’t buy class…..

[@kevinauyong3129]

the new exhaust was better but only by a little. wasn't worth the cost and time imho.

[@redstang70]

[@normalguysupercar]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you

[@randyrandom51]

I guess this was a cat delete? I wasn’t paying attention. Just thinking a cel would show up due to an exhaust leak, but if you’re catless with extenders, it would probably show up anyway. I ran my 355 catless for a bit. 90° mini-cat extenders kept me cel free. Love the scud!

[@normalguysupercar]

Cel won't normally show for exhaust leaks unless they are severe

[@bradaden7001]

10 out of 10 on the sound.

[@jay5566f4]

Hey Dan, would you make a course on teaching how to work on Ferraris? I have an F12 and always got stuck at how to properly removing the plastic clips. ie. removing the hose connections to the throttle body and MAF. The shop manual sometimes are not clear, such as changing the DCT oil. Which pump tools to buy and where to feed the fluid etc. Some of your videos help, but if there is something that's more comprehensive and premium I think it will definitely help a lot of us. Also if you have "tutor" sessions that would be awesome too.

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm not sure I want to get that detailed. That's pretty challenging

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

High volume neighborhood run please!!!! Wakey wakey 😂

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol good morning neighbors

[@nimedave]

On long drives I wear ear protection in mine as it is so loud. Can’t imagine how loud this is😮

[@normalguysupercar]

It's not quiet. Lol

[@coreycohen6160]

Sounds very similar to the Kline exhaust, but I guess that is expected with the Kline being similar in design. That Scud transmission is glorious BTW.

[@normalguysupercar]

I absolutely love the Scud shifts

[@barryrodko4202]

Just get a piece of rubber hose about 3’ long. Have the car running up on the lift. Put one end of the hose to your ear and explore around the exhaust with the other end. You will quickly be able to hear the leak

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah

[@zetoch]

Don’t give up, no doubt you’ll resolve it! I think I’d prefer leaving the original exhaust as is. Unless I am missing something it is not problematic enough to justify an upgrade. Unlike on a 355 for example.

[@normalguysupercar]

The factory headers can fail but it's mostly about the sound

[@chrisridebike8]

I thought the factory exhaust sounded good but the little bit of extra crackle on the new exhaust with the valves open…WOW!

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh yes

[@Daynja1]

lol I thought the same thing as Josh, bolting everything back together before checking that it runs right? Looks and sounds great though!

Damn Josh. Definitely a leak somewhere. I think it sounds amazing. A lot of work, though. It’s screaming with the valves open.

Dan, you better watch out for that nutty cop when you drive that baby. Just screams!

Down right just love the Scud Dan. In your car, it def does sound better and different. One of our members OEM Scud sounded difft than yours. He drives it hard though. Hence in my comment on your previous vid that you were shifting a little too early from 2nd to 3rd. Ya did great as always. Lmk if and when you are abour to list it for sale.

[@colelje]

Nice updates! So what's wrong with the Black 430? Just throwing a temper?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it was some weird stuff. We will fix it

[@CoolHand273]

Dan do you guys use that Capistro exhaust bracket that is spring loaded to prevent the headers from cracking or are the new headers strong enough to not have that problem?

[@normalguysupercar]

We used it on Josh's car because his previous exhaust mounts were broken and the Capristo is cheaper than the factory. Lol

[@alanmoriarty1752]

oooooohhhhh its sweeeet!

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes sir

[@Unimatrix69]

Hi Dan - I'm not sure if you've been asked this before - If a pristine 458 Italia became available, would you take it over the 430 Scud (I know you've owned a 458 Italia in the past)? (I'm sure you'd take a 458 Speciale)

[@normalguysupercar]

Honestly I'm not sure. The Scud is pretty special

[@normalguysupercar]

[@ricsu3462]

I am surprised it sounds somewhat similar to the 458 in the higher range….i love the ipe on my 458 but I think I actually prefer the original scud sound since they r very different. The 458 sound kinda lacks a bit of character out of the box vs the 430 imo, so I think the Kline/ipe def improves it. If u only have a 430 I think this is a great upgrade for that f1 sound, but if u have both I think it’s worthwhile keeping scud factory for that growl and diff enough of a sound (since it’s already straight piped with valves open from the factory)

[@normalguysupercar]

I definitely don't month the factory Scud sound but I do love this sound more

[@chenglo8999]

Could ur leak be due to the new header?

[@normalguysupercar]

Certainly the question is was it the reused gasket or something else

[@odee9007]

Does your 430 scud or 458 get closer to an F1 sound?

[@normalguysupercar]

That's tough to say. Both are pretty F1 sounding

[@odee9007]

@@normalguysupercar haha that's tough, i care A LOT about sound. ive been looking at getting into a higher mileage scud or 458 spider within the next 1.5 years, and sound is definitely going to be a big deciding factor for me. definitely want to utilize your consulting service down the road if that's a service you're still offering.
