Rare Dino 206 GT Hand Made Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifolds
April 06, 2023
A very rare sight indeed with only 152 ever produced, these cars were an entirely different beast to the later 246 GT.
This slightly less powerful 206 GT had an all-aluminium body and engine, making it nearly 200kg lighter than its successor. It was also the last true Ferrari model produced before Fiat took part ownership of the company in 1969.

Almost since then, QuickSilver have been accurately reproducing Ferrari exhaust systems, and we have one of the most extensive back catalogues for this (and practically every other) marque anywhere in the World.
So it's no surprise we're able to supply the wondrous and extremely rare Ferrari 206 GT with our hand made heritage manifolds.
Based on our original pattern, our heritage specialists have faithfully recreated these manifolds, and fabricated them from our signature no-nonsense 304 aircraft-grade Stainless Steel. This improves upon the durability of the original, while keeping with the original look and sound.
The manifolds include the unusual Helmholtz chambers on each side of the V6 which eliminates intrusive drone at a certain frequency. Later Ferraris moved this Helmholtz within the rear silencer.
At QuickSilver, we can also supply the rear section, and if needed, either component can be fabricated in mild steel as per the original.
