Ferrari 430 Scuderia/16M exhaust manifolds with thermal blankets

The 4-2-1 design of these manifolds maximizes torque and horsepower in the mid-range of the power envelope, right where the driver needs it. The curves and connection points have a constant radius design that maximizes exhaust gas flow. These cylinder heads are built as light and strong as possible.

These high performance manifolds bring a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque. Since they are compatible with the original catalytic converters, the manifolds can also be used as an economical replacement for defective OEM manifolds.

The cylinder heads come standard with the new innovative CAPRISTO heat shield . Heat shields are made of an extremely heat-resistant material, initially developed and used by NASA. This helps reduce radiant heat from exhaust manifolds and sports catalysts. The shields are heat resistant for temperatures up to 1300 degrees Celsius.

Reduced heat or temperature in the engine compartment improves performance. Cooler airboxes result in a cooler air temperature for the engine to "breathe in". In turn, denser air produces more power.

Because the exterior of the hot, glaring exhaust is protected from the surrounding environment, the screens also reduce the possibility of fire which sometimes results from contact of liquids/oil with the exhaust system.

Heat shields can also be attached to the cylinder heads at a later time without dismantling them.

Headers CANNOT be installed and used WITHOUT these heat shields.

If you wish to retain the original OEM exhaust (muffler), it is necessary to replace the exhaust supports and brackets with the CAPRISTO mounting kit.

NOTE TO THE INSTALLER:

It is important to note that these cylinder heads should not be torqued to more than 24 Nm or 17.5 ft-lbs.

Overtightening will cause the pin to fail and/ or damage to the head.
