I am in need of new center mufflers for my USA car. These are not the FE1325 Euro items show on http://www.ansaautomotive.com/make/ferrari/ On the US cars they are one big muffler with just two inlets and two outlets, all 3-hole flanged. No little side pipes. Does anyone know of a source? Failing sourcing the original items, I'm told that perhaps US Daytona units can be modified but I am unsure of the exact mods required. Anyone have insight into that?

I bought a complete ANSA system (Euro-style) last year from GT Car Parts at what I felt was a pretty good price. Don't know if they carry systems for U.S.-spec C/4's. Bill

Yes, those are the two usual suspects (T. Rutlands and GT Car Parts) I had already called. GT is the one that suggested I might have to modify a Daytona unit. An Ansa rep is supposed to contact me too.

Jeff, Another suggestion is to check with www.timevalve.com. They rebuilt sections of my muffler with stainless steel at a price far cheaper than a new one. Cheers, Sam

Thanks for tip, Gandinell. Classiche Exhaust is the USA reseller for Classiche09. I am told that they use equipment made in Italy with the original ANSA tooling and correct materials. It is also the only brand accepted by Ferrari for their Classiche Certification program. The part number for the USA center sections is FR1245. The part is not in stock but can be custom ordered with a 4 week lead time at a price of € 1.800,00, plus shipping and duties. http://www.classiche09.com/scheda.php?idcategoria=8 Mine are on order. I've added a post to the suppliers section.

Jeff Did you get your new mid sections from classic exhaust yet? Did they fit?

Jeff, I'll reply and add to your other post.

Just to add (maybe again) Gary Bobelief redid my center sections and did an amazing job. I would do that before trying to modify euro center sections to fit a USA spec car.
