    Hello all,
    Thinking about an exhaust upgrade for my F8.
    Not anxious to spend crazy money.
    Anyone had experience with Phoenix Exhaust systems?
    TIA

    I don't know who phoenix Exhaust systems is...

    But if you aren't a fan of spending a lot of money... Don't spend the money. You have a 300-450k car. Don't put inferior stuff on it (not disrespecting Phoenix they may make awesome stuff. No clue)

    If you don't want to spend a lot of money just get the valve controller from like valvetronic and you can remote open the factory exhaust.

    A Ferrari tech on this forum says that the only high-quality aftermarket exhaust parts he has seen are Tubi and Capristo.

    Well, his list is too short. Kline and Larini are some of the finest exhausts made. Personally, I would put Kline above all other exhausts.

    Do you mean Phoenyx Exhausts out of the UK? I've never heard of Phoenix Exhausts and barely heard of Phoenyx. Either way, don't ghetto rig an F8 with a cheap exhaust.

    For an F8 you will need to "spend crazy money" to get it to work correctly with no issues. You will need to re-tune the ECU as you will be removing the rear GPF/valves and rear muffler and the F8 has back pressure sensors at the very least if you do a cat back exhaust leaving the down pipes/cats as stock.

    I've never heard of Pheonix exhaust. Unless you want to experiment with your money I'd stick with Novitec exhaust and Novitec piggy back tuning to get around all the sensors and tune the engine for more air/fuel flow. Oh and you will not have any warranty left from Ferrari.

    Capristo only. Tried many brands and they all have challenges. You get what you pay for

    My Kline x-pipe fits properly and has been fine for 20,000 miles.

    You do get what you pay for, which is why Kline Inconnel is the most expensive system on the market. Nothing can touch it.
