Ferrari 348 Catalytic Converter

The Ferrari 348 is equipped with a 3.4-liter V8 engine. Its factory reference types include 119D, 119G, and 119G040 when fitted with catalytic converters. The engine delivers 300 horsepower at 7200 rpm and 324 Nm of torque at 4200 rpm. The Bosch Motronic injection and ignition system was upgraded from M2.5 to M2.7 during production to enhance performance.

Sport catalytic converters fit all Ferrari 348 vehicles produced between 1989 and 1995, including the Ferrari Mondial T. The official part number 160506 is an original reference specifically designed for the 348 series, such as the 348 TB model (1993).

Fabspeed sport catalytic converters provide several benefits, including:

• Power increase of around 11 additional wheel horsepower (whp)
• Torque boost by approximately 12 lb-ft
• Enhanced sporty sound characteristics
• Reduced maintenance costs

These improvements contribute to a better driving experience and engine efficiency.

Cargraphic offers two sport catalytic converter variations for the Ferrari 348 3.4L V8:

• MS MOTORSPORT – Featuring a honeycomb structure with 100 cells per square inch (cpsi)
• HD High Performance – Featuring a denser honeycomb with 200 cpsi per cell

Each type balances flow and emissions control to suit different performance preferences.

Installing a catalytic converter increases exhaust backpressure, which can lead to higher exhaust valve temperatures. This effect must be factored into your choice, especially if you are selecting between setups with or without catalytic converters, as it impacts engine operating conditions and longevity.
