Yes, for the F1 4.7's current lead time is about 8-10 weeks on new orders
Hi,

Recently acquired a 2014 model year 4.7 Sport Auto. Interested in a full exhaust system with these long headers including sports cats, and any necessary ECU and intake modifications. The full works really. Are these still available?

If you fit them,as I did, you will require a Maserati Tuning specialist in the UK, and unfortunately there isnt one. Take it to Holland and have it done there. Dont consider some well known ''tuning experts'' in England..

Thanks. What was involved, and did use aftermarket parts for the rest of the exhaust?

Trev360 is the only person that can interrogate the tipo F131 & F136 ECU’s properly in the UK.
You can use him to do it via AV Engineering in Kent.
He has reprogrammed both my 360 (F131)) and my Granturismo (F136) ECU’s and the difference is very noticeable.

Wow, you had it all done! How is the car now? Any dyno readouts?

Re the Headers. we removed them as the power was noticeably down., from 486 with AV Remap to 473. With no one in the UK capable of setting the car up on a dyno, to retrieve lost horses and more, we called it quits and reverted to normal.
Suggest if you want them, take the car to Holland and leave them to sort it plus a suitable tuning company conversant with F136 ECU's.

I suspect that the long primary manifolds require a much more in depth tuning process as the cylinder scavenging and therefore meaning that the ignition and injection timing as well as quantities would need to be altered, maybe also the variable valve timing.

There are people who can work with the Bosch ECU (it’s the same hardware as a lot of manufacturers use, the only difference will be the mapping / programming, which a good tuner will be able to adjust using the right editing software.

If I wanted to do something like this (and I still might) I’d be talking to the likes of RE Performance, who seem to have the both the kit and the knowledge.

I am a bit of a speed freak, or should I say was........ but I still have three ultra quick runabouts apart from the Stradale. i have a magazine article coming out soon in Auto Italia---( MC Stradale v NRing)--- and in it the Journalist was very complimentary about the Formula Dynamics Drive by Wire we fitted for the shoot. This certainly gives more instantaneous acceleration, and in his opinion was the same potency as my previous Stradale remapped by AV Engineering. Of course, its virtually unprovable, but it keeps an old man happy..............A fully sorted AS Motorsport Headers Stradale plus decent remap plus a FD DBW should give the car all the instant power it should have had from birth... Imo !!
