Ferrari 985822553

The RH Node Flange (SKU: fe-985822553) is an essential component engineered for Maserati's precision-driven performance architecture. This stainless steel exhaust flange ensures airtight sealing between critical engine components, maintaining optimal backpressure ratios for the iconic Maserati exhaust note enthusiasts crave. Precision Craftsmanship Meets Automotive Excellence Machined from T309 stainless steel using Maserati's original blueprints, this flange features a triple-layer nickel plating that withstands 1,200°F continuous operating temperatures. The 82mm bore diameter matches factory specifications for Quattroporte and Ghibli V6/V8 models, while the laser-etched alignment markers ensure perfect clocking during installation. Performance Impact of the RH Node Flange This component directly influences three key Maserati performance metrics: exhaust scavenging efficiency (improved by 12% vs worn units), turbo spool response time (18% faster in twin-turbo applications), and cabin resonance characteristics. When degraded, drivers report a 7-9% power loss at mid-RPM ranges and increased cabin drone at highway speeds.
