Custom made sports exhaust, 612

One year ago I bought my 612. I love it, but the only thing I really missed was the engine sound. It was just a bit to quiet for a weekend / hobby car.
I listened to the original sports exhaust, Superspint, Tubi, etc. I liked the original exhaust the most. But they are no longer available or really expensive.

I contacted a company who have delivered end tips for my former 360 Modena to ask if they could make a custom exhaust exact to my design and specifications. They said yes.
Last October they made my exhaust in less then 2 days.

What I designed is a two-way exhaust.
Way one: remote controlled valves closed, gasses go through a sports damper.
Way two: remote controlled valves open, sports damper is by passed.

In Italy I ordered end tips which look exactly the same as the original sports exhaust.
The end result is great: for longer distances I close the valves, the car is quiet but just a bit louder as standard.
When I want to hear the full V12 orchestra I open the valves and the sound is fantastic.

I do not have a video clip of it yet, but I have some pictures

Those look like Fabio's exhaust tips.

 

They are!

 

Are they cat back? Or headers and cats plus the pipes and tips?

How much was the cost to build it?
What diameter pipes on the system? 50mm?
Did you do a dynamometer test to see if there were gains to be had?

I have heard the stock system is somewhat restricted and may be able to gain some power with a remap and better exhaust...

I met Fabio in Italy a couple of months ago. A very cool guy. And I recorded his 550 as it pulled away.

Interested as well.

 

Only the mufflers. So I can put the original mufflers back if I want.

Headers are on the "future wish list"

The total costs were about €2800 including 21% VAT. It is all stainless steel.

I think there are some horses who can breath easier now, but the car was not on the dyno.
For me the better sound (and looks) was the reason.

 

Just ordered a tubi exhaust for my 612. Can’t wait to see the results. V12 engines are more fun with a sport exhaust system.

 

how about before and after exhaust startup, drive video? I'd be interested!

 

Thank you for the info. Would you mind sharing the contact info for the exhaust and tips, please ? Does the remote controlled valves function independent of the comfort/sport switch ? Im a new owner of a 08 OTO (NON HGT2) and under the impression that the sport mode opens or otherwise adjusts the exhaust valves. Curious how that works in conjunction with a "remote control" and if the same function could be accomplished via the sport mode. Separately, does anyone know if HGT2 is available from Ferrari to modify a non variant ?

 

I will make a video soon, including the remote controler for the valves

 

There is the video.
In real life it sounds much better as the cell phone record.
Starts with valves open. From 22th second the valves are closed and at the end closed again.

 

That sounds great! My car has the factory HGTC exhaust, which sounds great, but has a deeper/throatier note than I would prefer.

I have seen posts before about Fabio making an exhaust system that will fit the 612 using a 6-in-1 header, which based on my very limited understanding is a good way to create a higher pitched exhaust note. Is a higher pitched exhaust note a given with 6-in-1 headers or does it still mostly come down to the length, diameter, shape, and material of the tubing?

Does anyone know if and when that will happen? His website makes no mention. Thanks.

 

A guy from Finland does have those on his 612. Should sound like an old F1 car I think.

 

I placed an email inquiry to a certain Italian exhaust fabricator who is no longer active on this forum. I received a very kind and prompt reply informing me that he does indeed have a 6-in-1 exhaust system for the 612 Scaglietti. His website is undergoing an overhaul and as such does not include any information about this.

I’m hoping that a video clip of a 612 with his exhaust system will surface someday so we can hear it.

 

I bought my exhaust tips from that guy (Fabio) He is really kind indeed.

 

Here you go:

 

Wow

 

Thanks Fin612!

That definitely has the high-pitched top end sound I am looking for. It sounds great on the video, but it is difficult to replicate what it sounds like in person. I know that loudness is subjective, but is it loud or is it REALLY LOUD? I want the high pitched exhaust note, but not if it means that the car has to be obnoxiously loud. For what it's worth, yours does not sound obnoxiously loud, but again it is difficult to tell from the video.

Thanks again for posting the videos!

 

I want that in my life.

 

Do you have the entire system installed? 6-in-1 headers, CATS, pipes, and mufflers? Since I have the factory HGTC exhaust, I’ve been told that my stock mufflers could be used with Fabio’s headers, CATS, and pipes. Not sure if that will compromise the sound I am looking for.

 

Chris- That should work fine on your 612. You would need the headers, cats, connector pipes and installation kit to fit to your center pipes and HGTC mufflers. If you get too much resonance with the factory straight center pipes, you can retrofit Fabio's center H pipes later. That is exactly what I am doing on my 575M with Type F133E engine compared to your Type F133F engine.

 

Thanks!

 

My car is 08 pre-OTO HGTC, so it has factory sports exhaust. The rear part of the exhaust is still OEM. I can confirm that OEM straight pipes + valves open make too much resonance under 3-4K rpm . At high rpms - it's just heaven Please note that my car do not have exactly what Fabio is selling now, since we needed to resisigned quite many parts and use different cats and their position is also different. Fabio got 3D scanning taken from my car - so the current products should fit perfectly to 612s.
