Capristo Bracket Kit for OEM muffler Ferrari F430 04-09

Bracket kit is for the Ferrari 430 Coupe and Spider. This bracket is not applicable to the Scuderia. This bracket kit has been developed by Capristo to eliminate problems associated with the stiff OEM bracket and mounting.

The OEM bracket does not allow enough movement for expansion and vibration induced movement of the entire exhaust system. This leads to the exhaust experiencing stress loads during the constant expansion and contraction of everyday usage. The sound waves traveling through the exhaust at different RPM ranges also induce a lot of vibration movement and if the exhaust is held in place too tight, that movement is transferred to the weakest place. This weak spot is more often than not, the header pipes. The headers suffer the most from heat and stress forces and will crack and fail under these conditions.

The Capristo bracket has been designed to work on the OEM system and is required when fitting the Capristo header pipes. The bracket is of a floating spring design that not only allows free movement during expansion, but also allow enough movement to compensate for the vibrations that is found in the exhaust during use. This relieves the stresses that would otherwise have damaged your header pipes.

When fitting the Capristo mounting kit, it is imperative that all original mounting parts be removed. The upper and lower supports of the original system must be removed. This bracket has been specifically designed for the person who wish to retain the OEM silencer.
