The factory F430 exhaust mounting bracket has a significant design flaw: its solid mounting to the vehicle’s chassis does not accommodate heat expansion. This lack of flexibility causes stress that can lead to cracked headers or catalytic converters. Capristo's upgraded mounting bracket is a crucial preventive maintenance item, designed with four spring-mounted hanging points to allow for heat expansion up to 1.5 inches.
- Critical Upgrade: Essential to prevent failure of exhaust components.
- Includes: Both Capristo F430 Exhaust Systems (Valved and Freeflow) include this mounting bracket.
- Warning: If your exhaust components have already failed, replace the mounting bracket with the Capristo Design to avoid repeated failures. (SKU: 02FE02303003)
