Looking for some kick ass Maserati or Audi R8 parts? Check out Urutu: www.ebay.com/s...
bit.ly/ngs-urutu
Urutu makes a kick butt X-pipe resonator delete kit for the Maserati Granturismo and sent me one to install in Richard's GT MC. The installation is pretty straight forward but does take a bit of muscle to get the old resonator out. Plan on using a rubber mallet and some elbow grease to get it out. Urutu also sent some engine bling to make the engine look nicer.

good to finally see Richard doing stuff with the Maserati
Indeed
I love the Maserati MC, a curiosity that few people know is that in the European version the gearshift is the same as the 430 Scuderia, and the American version uses a slower automatic gearshift! Great content!
That is very interesting
In the USA, the 2009 GTS model came with the same Ferrari gear box you speak of.
Marcelo S this car has a ZF transmission I believe and like Tommy said, the real true F1 transmission came in very limited supply to North America in 2009. Would be interesting to know the exact numbers that came and if they are holding their value over the standard ZF transmissions.
@@vlee1247 The Ricardo built F1 transmission is one of the most scorned transmissions to ever be put in a car, be it in a Ferrari, Lambo, or Maserati. It is terrible. The ZF equipped Maseratis are worth thousands more.
not exactly EU coz the rest of world all got the MC stradale yet the US. The non-US spec also has roll bars, rear seat delete options and sounds louder (maybe different tune or smaller muffler)
Always put the logo facing down so you can impress the ladies when you show off your pipe.
Lol hell yes
Like they say , safety takes a minute and a disability lasts a life time
Haha
@@normalguysupercar xkklclslmfkfkd
Sounds great !! It was great of Urutu sponsoring the video !! Fix the scuff mark on the Ferrari caliper already, Richard !! I haven't slept well since it happened !! Lolol.....
Great work guys !!
Haha one day
I would argue that making the gran turismo louder actually detracts from the sounds natural ability to turn heads. EVERYONE looks when they hear it anyway because its tone is so unique, making it sounds raspier and more like a race car ruins it a bit. Love the mod though it really is cool to see you work on.
It did sound better before.
There should be a Miami Vice clip for every Testarossa segment. LOLOLOL...
Hmm yes
Thanks Again Dan......You and Richard are having too much fun......
Haha yes
14:20 THE SOUND... Thanks me later.,..
Yup! It's pretty badass sounding
Richard, the Testarossa, and the Maserati! That's a damn near perfect video. 👍👍
Haha yup
That Mazi sounds unbelievable. Wow
Yeah it does!
Nice cars! I do wonder about giving them a big rev when cold though.
Eh it's ok.
I was bless I have the Maserati mc sport and I love my car and every time I drive it it put a smile on my face. Thank you Maserati keep it coming !!!!!
You're welcome
Hi Dan, I follow all your videos , and I'm a great fan!!!! I currently have a Maserati gran turismo just like your friend, but im looking to buy another super car. I Know you had or still have a corvette. What do you think about the new c8 corvette. Can you make a video about that ??? I would like to hear your opinion..... and everybody in you tube!!!!!!
@@ariam0357 I will once I drive one
@@normalguysupercar overall do you like the new c8, the looks???? do you think is a copy of the Ferrari f458 in the front?
@@ariam0357 I like the outside but hate the interior.
I thought this video was about a MC12, I already thought, why would you want to make it sound like a Ferrari? Awesome video. Love Maserati, too bad they devalue so quick.
It sucks they devalue unless you're on the buyers market for used
Been watching for awhile, never knew you only lived 3 hours away. It’s my dream to one day own or even drive one of these beasts. Thanks for the entertainment
You're welcome
Urutu is AWESOME!! Still sitting with my stock MC exhaust, but will do the X-Pipe soon. Your movie/TV quotes are always on point and crack me up. Oh yeah.. GO BUCKEYES!!! Sorry man.. had to! :)
Boooo! No buckeyes. Lol.
Do the x-pipe, you'll love it
Why would I want to reduce the exhaust sound and rumble of my Maserati GT?
Love the new sound
Those who know exhaust scavenging know that the Urutu don’t work anything like the stock symmetrical X-pipe which has a 100% pipe intersection. It’ll make it sound louder and raspier but that’s due to the resonator deletion.
Ok
I was lucky enough to do a factory walk through at Maserati and watch the cars being built ..
All the parts come from the Ferrari factory up the road and are assembled by hand by the Maserati staff .
The MC has to be one of the coolest sounding cars ever ..Even when it's running stock !
Yeah it really sounds fantastic
Yep, Michigan does have a great fight song. It, with USC's and Norte Dame's, is amongst the top.
Yes exactly! Unique and memorable
Awesome dude! I have this same engine in my maserati. Nice to see a maserati video! I will definitely be looking up that x pipe.
Do it!
Urutu for the win! I was disappointed at first that I couldn’t take the 458 on the Bullrun but the xpipe really amped up the exhaust notes so beautifully that I forgot all my 458 troubles and had an epic week screaming around the country with my buds 😎
A few things I would have done differently would be to sawzall the old resonator off to speed things up and use dishwasher soap to help get the xpipe on instead of oil. No biggie but I could smell the burning oil the first couple of trips.
Or penetrating oil. That stuff burns off very fast...
How much do the X PIPE cost and do you have a shopping link to buy it from?
I follow you from Colombia. Congratulations on your work. It's a pity a Maserati here is so expensive. I'd be so happy to follow your example. Cheers
Thank you
Nothing like an Easy Breezy upgrade. I think a great "fight song" for a college would be "Walk All Over You" by AC/DC.....but that's the aging metal head in me. Great vid, Dan.
Haha that would kick ass.
“It’ll be easy peasy” then Richard beats the shit out of it with a rubber mallet...😂😂😂
Lol yes pretty much
Get to the TESTARROSSA!! (Arnold “get to the chopper” voice).
Nice.
I always get such a kick out of the Ricambi outfit! make sure he wears it in every video! lol
Haha oh course!
Maserati sounds amazing 🇮🇹👌🏻
I agree
I did it on my MC Stradale Intake set and x pipe :)
Hell yeah
Now Richard is officially a playboy with his X-Pipe. Dan, you should make a Playboy T-Shirt with Richard and his smoking jacket outfit.
Yeah Dan! I’ll take a men’s large.
Lol
Another great video with you and Richard.... Taking the Maserati will be sweet... The Maserati sounds bad ass 😁😁😁😁
Hell yeah it does
That car, especially with the xpipe, was so much fun on the Bullrun! I was cruising in comfort and style!
@@richardlee7595 I can"t wait to see the video 😁😁
Dam all u guys r all cool as hell 👍
Well thank you
That GT sounds absolutely awesome
Heck yeah!
How much do the x pipe cost and do you have a shopping link I can use?
Dan, dont let Richard touch anything as he will break it hahahaha
LOL!
Yeah I’m gonna hold the camera while Dan works on my cars. Much safer.
Another great video, Dan! Also, great job bagging on t.u.! Those jackwads deserve it!
Lol! I just hate that song
Tinting the windows is a must + dechroming. The maserati will then look stunning
Agreed
On the list!
I was holding my breath all the way expecting Kaboom !!! somewhere Well done Richie has a running car for the Run oouff! that was close .
Haha no kaboom this time
Love the way you explain and love your tech Thanks Great Product. I have 2011 maserati granturismo s can these stuff can fix on mine I wish I had mc but I don't and I wish I was in Texas but I'm in Chicago thanks
Wow the new x pipe looks amazing. I love your enthusiasm. I want to buy a Maserati Grandtourismo to add in my garage car collection. What do you think about the Grandtourismo maintenance? Is it pretty easy to learn? My Porche is pretty hard to work on.
I've done the annual service on one of my previous videos and it was fairly easy.
@@normalguysupercar Thank you. I am going to watch them.
I also installed a red air Bridge on my C5 Corvette it's supposed to smooth the airflow as it's going into the throttle body compared to a bellows type which causes a lot of turbulence besides it looks cool, by the way the Maserati exhaust sounds Wicked
Yeah slight performance improvement but huge improvement in looks
I need that Maser! Love the MC's!
It's such a good looking car
Yeah, I have loved them since they first came out. Question, which transmission is more reliable in the long run? The auto or the dual clutch. I heard one of them was best to be avoided, but can't remember which. Not worried about ultimate performance. Reliability is more important to me.
@@pcar928fan I'm not sure they put in a DCT, but I could be wrong. I though it was a single clutch...
Ah, yes, perhaps it was a single clutch...same question though. Torque converter auto trans or single clutch F1 trans?
The auto is probably considered more reliable but they are both solid.
Richard should used Larini next time they are better and it sound so much better.
u n ricardo make a good funny team lol
Haha I agree
So cool. Thank you for the video
Our pleasure!
I mean, I love maserati for their unique sexy sound, so wanting it to sound like a ferrari makes no sense to me :p
Agreed. The Maserati sounds better than the 458
I test drove the Gran Tourismo. Its a beautiful sounding car. I ended up though with buying a Lexus LC500, which is a helluva car with a lot more to offer than the Maserati.
Not a bad choice either
@@XcoolcoolbeansbeansX The LC500 actually sounds nearly exactly the same as the Gran Tourismo. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Maserati, but the Lexus LC500 is rarer and in my personal opinion, a better looking car. Looks though are subjective and I wouldn't fault anyone that wants to own a Maserati.
If Richard keeps wearing those coveralls he's going to be Mario or Luigi I haven't decided which yet.
Definitely Luigi.
@@normalguysupercar That settles it. 😁
Hi , regarding the Maserati , where is the gearbox located? middle (attached to the engine) or is it on the rear axle like some old Alfas? thank you:)
The mc sounds better than the Ferrari already wowwww
It's a damn good sound
The GranTurismo actually sounds better at lower revs than the Ferrari 458 stock, It doesn't really need any modification, its sound is already legendary as it's the most balanced and pleasant to the hears V8. Ferrari is better at higher revs where it screams like the F1 race and it's even more aggressive, it's a matter of personal preference...
I can’t wait for the bull run.
Coming soon. 😁👍
I'm not sure Richard cares since its his daily driver, but mention putting sport lowering springs on his MC and then 22/25 (front/back) spacers. I got mine from formula dynamics in Las Vegas. They also have Ferrari parts. Might sponsor you too. But the look is AMAZING compared to the stock look. The stock wheel gap kills me to look at.
He's not into the lowering thing... Yet.
Normal Guy Supercar Wish I could show a pic of before after. If he saw that he would be.
Hello Dan, I followed your advise and also bought your book in Amazon about Ferrari F430 Buyers Guide. I have been with my F430 super happy and as I previously told you, thanks for the advise. Now I want to buy a used Maserati GT Sport or MC. What do you recommend? What advise would you give me. Thanks again, best regards.
I don't know much to tell you on the Maserati
more Maseratis!
Ok
Note: i see a square cut in that ressonator, seem like someone allready done some mods to it ;) By the way Dan, how did you repaired the oil leak in the 458?!
I think it was just an identification plate on the resonator. You'll see how we fixed the 458 soon...
Always always bring pb blaster when workin on exhaust
Yeah I didn't realize he didn't have some
Normal Guy Supercar that stuff is a life saver. Better than wd40 imo. Total love the way the exhaust turned out.
Hi ! 7:04 is the gearbox mounted on the rear axle? or is it just the diferential?
Does it also fit with the sport model as well or just fit in the MC model?
Was the Testarossa changed to 5-bolt hubs at some point in the production run? Or was this one converted somehow?
Yes, only the first 3 years had the center lock.
"i'll push up while you beat on it" Yup... "That's what she said"... :-)@7:23
Haha yes
Dan, good video. Would like to see you spend a bit more time showing us what it all looked like once installed. Not just about sound, want to see what it looks like as well. Especially the engine bay. Overall, pretty good.
ah sorry
I would like to see an intake trumped made of brass to REALLY emphasize the shriek of those intake runners! Never mind that ol' sound-deadening rubber business!
Do you know where I can get a front control arm bushing press tool for my mazarati granturismo
Unfortunately I do not
Are the still selling the xpipes links not working?
Top sound, don’t let him probe anything Dan with his electrical tester!
Lol!
Yeah Dan!
Bad advice from Dan, lol never as easy as it looks!
And why would you want to make a Maserati GTS - which is probably best sounding car along with lambo aven v12 and Aston v12 sounds like a 458. The Ferrari is a higher tone sound.
Now the f12 maybe a different story. That’s a great screamer.
Hi Guy i Would like buy a F430 in France where i live . Is IT possible to have advices but in french !
Thanks
Franck
Well I don't speak French and I'm guessing a translator could get expensive
you tell 'em Dan...…… M go BLUE!!!
Fuck yeah!
hi, i was wondering if there's anything for the 2014 ghibli
I'm not sure. Contact them
The Maserati already sounds better than 458 stock. It’s a deeper sound.
Going to be a troll for a second. How do you make a quarter plane crank V8 “sound like” a Ferrari (video thumbnail points to a flatplane crank V8)? It can be done, but I do not think the goal was achieved as advertised in your picture. Trolling over.
Great garage and cars. The exhaust note was definitely improved.
Thanks
Ferrari sounds like Clark Kent while the Maserati sounds like Superman
Ha
Maserati sounds way better than the Ferarri hands down.
Uh, well, I think you're in the minority in that opinion.
@@normalguysupercar Agree to disagree. Take a poll, Masearati is renowned worldwide for having the best exhaust note. Appreciate your vid though.
Take that testarossa for a drive... sounds great
You could have used Dawn dish washing soap to lubricate that pipe then you not have to worry about smoke from the oil
Ahh nice.
Dammit we should have called u Joe. I smelled burning oil for a couple days!
That's not the Testarossa you had in your garage is it, as it has a high level brake light, so it's another one that Richard owns, if so please do a walk around review of it as I'm sure plenty would like to see that, and I expect that literally stuff would actually spurt out of some people watching too !!! lol, that flat 12 sounded super awesome, cheers from UK , 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Correct, Richard also bought one.
@@normalguysupercar if you could ask Richard if you could review it for your viewers when you get back from being "rally bitches" that would be fantastic, as it looked awesome. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Haha ok
Does the x pipe produce and more horsepower to the Maserati?
It should on the top end
What about 200 cell cats?
already sound like one :) MC is a great car. That has the 360 motor basically doesn't it?
No, F430 and 458 block but different crank and heads
@@normalguysupercar gotcha.. ty..
"Safety Third!" - Eric O., South Main Auto channel lol
Haha!
Is that 458 Rosso Dino?
Yup
Does the testarossa have an exhaust?
Yes, capristo
@@normalguysupercar thanks, sounds great!
what's the music name from 0:10 - 0:16? thanks
Can't stop won't stop
The Maserati stock sounds 10 times better than the Rari
What year is that Maserati??
2015
Nice!!
Thanks!
What, no sawzall? 🤦♂️
It was close. We thought about it
Overalls and a hat but no penetrating lubricant 👍🏼
Can't be perfect
Normal Guy Supercar Well you got a MC in the garage so your one up on me!
@@stanlee7635 that's my buddy's garage
So, does Richard qualify as a “normal guy” too?
Eh maybe?
Rich guy Supercars
@@taelorwatson9822 Two Ferrari's and a Maserati. Not any 'Normal' that I'm used to.
No disrespect, but I think the Maserati stock already sounds much better than the 458. The Maserati had a deeper growl that’s rich whereas Ferrari has higher revving sound.
Those Maseratis undoubtably sound better than the 458s...
And look also better
I disagree but I think they are close
Nah it most definitely doesnt, the mazis do sound great tho
Many ! would argue that the Maserrari v8 4.7 sounds.. Far nicer... than the Ferrari v8 version due to the Maser only Cross plane Crankshaft.
V6 versions... Who even Cares ??
Indeed
No way any Ferrari can sound like a Maserati Grand Turismo 4.7. Yet alone with a straight pipe 🤣🤣🤣
Madre mía baby
Try to make a Ferrari sound like a Maserati! That would be awesome 😎
I have 2 GranCabrios. One with Urutu pipe, and one without. Both sounds better than any Ferrari. But damn - With Urutu it is a killer!!!
Well yeah they have different crankshaft designs
The car sounds better then a ferrari as is
Shit that sounds nice
Yup
whats with the overalls LOL
It's funny
Testarossa. no competition there
Indeed
Sounds Like a demon now
Better!
Lubrication is the key..................................ha!
Lol
