Maserati Larini Sports Rear boxes system 4200 - all mod

[lozcb]

I've had a word with Larini. Dave, the chap I spoke to was really helpful. Even though I had told him that I had bought them second hand. His first suggestion is that one or both of the cats had blown and that I should get them checked. As they can cause a resonance problem.

I'm having a couple of tyres fitted today, I'll get the cats checked at the same time.

He also mentioned that as the wadding is thermal activated, I need to put 500 miles on the car. This should help. So, I'm moving forward. Slowly. Knowing me, I'll probably end up with a whole Larini system.

Complete system .....Not a bad thing Elliot hahaha , not heard of the cat causing resonance before , but David does know his stuff without doubt, worth checking , one of the first signs of a cat going are rattlling stones sound on start up that clears eventually , so worth checking , there are a few used ones on ebay at the moment, or you could go for a decat , must say tho havent heard of cabin boom with larini's before , i have a little between 2300 revs and 2600 revs on my 4200 but that has tubi's on ,

That's exactly what I've got, Loz. I thought that it was a loose exhaust that made that sound.

Now, how do I know a good used cat?

Any you buy 2nd hand should give you a guarantee , ie David Askew , Prestige salvage(Leeds) Eurospares , Trent salvage, etc , they will usually guarantee for 3-12 months for a used one personally i'd go for decat with sports cats with Larini , i know its on the dear side but then again so are new masser cats , kevin at prestige salvage has only just got in a late gransport (not sure what mileage ) could be worth a try What ever you do , dont leave it too long , not saying its going to happen but it has been known twice in my 4years of ownership for the cat residue to get sucked up into the cylinders and cause irrevocable damage , resulting in a rebuild
