    Would you sell the novitec by itself? Not looking to do Cats just the exhaust. I have a F8 coming in next week. First thing I want to do is get rid of the GPF

    truth is the sound and volume isn’t really stepped up without the cats. I started with ten exhaust and it had very little effect whatsoever. Note changed a bit but there was no dramatic change. If you read up on F8 exhaust/cats you’ll see everyone that has gone through this has had the same experience. The cats are the game changer. Need both to make a real difference.

    I hope Faider won't mind me posting this on his thread, but I have this exact set up and love the sound. Not raucous or obnoxious (there are plenty of full decatted options if you want that! :D), but what I would call civilised savagery with the valves open and stock quiet with the valves closed in OEM mode.
    I personally think it's what the factory would have made it sound like if they weren't strangled by the latest EU noise and emission regs.

    Short pro video here:

    Cheers! Done over a thousand miles since the install, on road and track and no CELs. The Novitec Tectronic has no problem coping with 250 cell sport cats, I cannot personally vouch for other set ups.

    Appreciate you doubling down. It’s def the right setup and I concur that the 250 cats are the right cats for the F8 if you want to avoid CEL with the OBD plug in. Lot of people inquiring about the exhaust only but the truth is you have to have both of you want a real stepped up sound. Exhaust alone will not do it IMO.

    Absolutely. One of my other videos shows the stock silencer, it’s tiny! Definitely not the main source of sound restriction. I believe stock cats are around 800 cells, so going down to 250 is a lot freer flowing and better sounding.
    The throttle response is also much better than stock with the set up you’re selling. What little turbo lag there is stock is basically gone! Good luck with sale buddy, someone is going to get a bargain.
