As per title.

Not many of these used capristos for sale, but there is one going about currently...the vendor fails to mention in the ads that there is an unknown pile of crap rattling about loose inside...I only found out after paying for delivery and then paying for the return delivery...fortunately Paypal protection helped out there, but not on postage costs.

Just a heads up as there is a current F355 topic about exhausts, and don't want a P/h'er stung. wink

I bought brand new instead...not much more expensive.

Good warning post. May I ask where you bought one new?

I ordered the brand new capristo sound level 1 from Scuderia Systems...i was made a deal at a great price and then was offered a capristo by-pass at a massive discount to compliment the exhaust as a sweetner for an already great deal.
As long as i own the car, both parts are under warranty, which is handy as planning on keeping the 355 for a long time.

The existing by-pass was not rattling, however, i had noticed it wasn't always opening when it should and whilst the engine was out and graypaul were going to fit the new exhaust free, they offered to also fit the by-pass for free.

I dealt with Chris at Scuderia...he was very helpful...hope this info helps.
