Ferrari Dino 246 Exhuast Systems

Tubi Style drew on the technical experience gained on the fantastic, iconic Lancia Stratos project to realise a series of specific parts for the Ferrari Dino 246 that deliver unrivalled performances.

Named after Enzo Ferrari’s son, the 1968 Dino 206 GT was Ferrari’s first mid-engine production car. Production of the 206GT was small: S/N 00302 was the first of just 156 cars to leave the factory.  A year after the launch of the 206, it was replaced by the revised 246 GT. Three series of the Dino were built, with differences in wheels, windshield wiper type, and engine ventilation:

DINO 246 GT TYPE L (1969-1970) – series I

S/N 00400,  first type “L”  –  357 cars were built, ending in summer of 1970; this type had the same center-lock wheels as the 206. The headers of the exhaust system are the same of the 206 GT.

DINO 246 GT TYPE M (1970-1971) – Series II

S/N 01118,  second type “M” – 507 cars were built, ending in July 1971; they had five-bolt Cromodora alloy wheels and “clap-hands” wipers.

DINO 246 GT & GTS TYPE E (1971-1974) – Series III

S/N 02132,  third type “E” – 1,431 series III coupes were built, with minor differences in the transmission and fuel supply system.

S/N 03408, February, earliest known “GTS” model – 1,274 GTS cars were built

DINO 246 GT & GTS TYPE E USA (1971-1974) – Series III

S/N 02866 is the first known USA version, titled as a 1972 model.

While GT and GTS exhausts are the same, 246 Type E used a series of different exhaust system versions, in addition to the USA version. The following versions are not available in the catalogue. Please contact info@tubistyle.it directly for any enquiries.

• German version of exhaust headers, used until S/N 04932
• Right Hand Drive exhaust header version, used until S/N 04324

Although in the technical literature the flat flange is normally attributed to the TYPE M and the countersunk flange to the TYPE E, the type of flange must always be checked before ordering. In fact, the flat flange was occasionally used on Type E up to S/N 03482.

CLASSIC RESTORATION

Aftermarket parts enable customization of the exhaust system with the adoption of high-performance AISI 304 stainless steel parts.

These products deliver a tangible improvement in sound, performances and component lifetime. However, since they are not original, they have a negative impact in the collector and restoration market, where parts’ conformity to the original product is a major added value.

In this case, the Tubi Style “Classic Restoration” line offers original-equivalent parts. Thanks to our many years’ experience and our partnerships with leading restorers in Maranello and worldwide, our parts have helped achieve outstanding scores for cars that have competed in and won the world’s top Concourse d’Elegance.

The Classic Restoration line currently offers the following selection of products (list is guideline only). The special thrill of restoration work is that the restorer is constantly dealing with wonderful, unique cars.

This is why Tubi Style does not only just offer a range of products but rather a real on-demand service, enabling reconstruction of the entire exhaust line working “on board” in cases where the car’s condition and the information available would make restoration impossible for any other firm.
