    No, it's an Argento Nurbergring with custom vinyl stripe. My Pista was stripeless from the factory.

    As I recall the Pista models without a stripe were a bit rare. Your stripe version certainly adds to the character of this car! Thanks for your reply.

    Hello everyone. Just added a Pista which will fit in nicely with the rest of the crew. Very excited. Will arrive in a week or so. (Pics for attention)

    I need to make it louder. Very important. Stock is just too quiet. I don’t want warranty issues. Or any other headache unless it’s from the loud exhaust. Can the Pista owners in here share what you did to wake the car up?? Or post a link to a Thread with all that info already? Sorry couldn’t find it.

    I did a Novitec Inxonel X pipe and LOVE it! May do sport cats too, but really transformed the exhaust.

    Stunning Pista… great bunch of cars. You mentioned you don’t want any warranty issues…then your going to need to leave the exhaust stock. About the on,y thing you can do is pull the vacuum lines off the valves at the muffler and plug them. This keeps the exhaust valves open all the time by passing the center muffler. Any changes in the cats and Ferrari isn’t going to honor warranty on engine parts….say a turbo goes you’ll be stick with a good 5 figure repair bill. Then if you change the cats you’ll need to tune the car to run with out CEL coming on and get the air fuel flow correct. Ferrari will void the complete car warranty since the ECU parameters was changed as the ECU control the entire car. Remember the cars warranty is with Ferrari not your dealer.

    My dealer has been very honest with me on warranty and car mods. 2 years ago did Novitec springs. Cars rides great, no,issues. However due to my dealer’s experience with Ferrari denied warranty with any mods on a car it been suggested I put my car back to stock. If I had a transmission issue, rear axle,issue and so forth Ferrari will void my warranty due to the springs saying the cars geometry is out of factory spec

    I think doing a cat back with a non-gpf is no big deal. My dealer didn’t have a problem with it. Cats yes, but not a muffler.

    Can you let me know the paint code for Verde Francesca? My dealer can’t seem to obtain it.

    Many thanks!

    Has anyone disliked the color scheme on their stripes and successfully tried vinyl wrapping the stripes in different color?

    I would guess most all Pistas have PPF (at least all the ones I have seen); I presume the PPF around the front bonnet would have to be removed and reapplied after the application of vinyl stripes. Could be a messy proposition.

    I put vinyl stripes on top of PPF. It looks great. However my Pista was stripeless so it was easy to apply. Not sure how hard it would be installing on top of factory painted stripes.
