Fabspeed Headers + Novitec Test Pipes & Exhaust = WOW!!!

I recently installed Fabspeed ceramic coated headers to complete my exhaust system. Ever since I bought my 458, I've always wanted that high pitched raw F1 sound. I tried pulling the valve on the stock exhaust and it just didn't do it for me.

I then installed Novitec test pipes and Novitec Exhaust and I was very happy with the sound. Extremely loud and not for everyone. I would say its probably louder then the challenge cars lol.

Then I was curious about the Fabspeed headers. I heard the headers give the car a lot more power, but I was a bit skeptical. Prior to headers I already had testpipes, exhaust and EVOMSiT tune and I didn't really feel a huge power increase. Another thing I was worried about was would the headers ruin that beautiful sound I was finally satisfied with?

Wow!! Is all I can say. The headers refine the sound and totally takes it to the next level. It's extremely loud/ear piercing and sounds better then the crappy F1 cars on the track today LOL.

In addition, the power increase is VERY noticeable. 3k on to redline feels incredible, there is much more torque throughout the rev range. In 7th gear it feels like I am in 5th. (Not joking) Fabspeed makes a great product and I highly recommend their headers if you are looking for some more power.

Overall I am extremely happy with my exhaust setup, its extremely loud and probably not for everyone, it makes the stock exhaust sound like a prius lol. I will post video clips very soon.

 

Sub'ed for video(s).

 

Waiting for the video clips

 

thank you for the kind words John! As always, it was a pleasure working with you!

For all those looking for a video, it sounds very similar to this! This car does not have headers and the headers give the car a more refined and F1 like sound. I will do a short clip with my iphone this weekend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_tCt9HY2Xs

 

Cool sound. Like to hear the op's though.....no vid clip, come on!!!

 

John - you got to bring it out to the next FOG drive for all to hear.

Thanks! Thats exactly what my car sounded like without the headers

 

I spent a few hours with BLKM3's company and can proudly attest that his car is
louder than mine
It sounds ****ING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! never heard anything like it
i am secretly very jealous and envious
pm him if you want your 458 to sound like an F1 car!!!!!! he might tell you his
secrets

 

Carlo, You must take video of it for us all to hear then. It's clear he's just a tease and not going to share with us!! lol

 

Hi T., I unfortunately did not make a video, but i am sure he will oblige, altho the vid
might not duplicate the sound in person, i am still shaking and very envious
