    Hey guys, just bought a 2013 458 Spider! Love the options, I was originally going to buy the hard top coupe and decided to splurge on the convertible. New to Ferrari had some questions...

    - What is this mythical bluetooth of which they speak? :p Want to stream music and only thing I have thought of is going back to the old FM transmitters!! haha

    - Has anyone purchased the Tubi aftermarket exhaust for the 458? Is it worth it??

    Thanks y'all!

    The race seats are very nice and of course the useful shift lights on the steering wheel. Congrats for your black on black spider!

    Awesome congrats! I just bought a 458 spider 3 months ago and absolutely love it.

    There is no Bluetooth with the car but some adapter you can buy, Boovee 1000 It isn't 100% just do a search.

    The BOVEE adapter works AMAZING!! If you own a Ferrari with the new HUD/controls, it works perfect. I'm glad somebody figured out how to get these $200k sports cars to play music :p

    I have a tubi without valves on my 458 spider.
    It is epic but will put back the original with remote for the valves.
    The reason is that we plan to go to Italy and it is a bit to much for my taste on long trips.

    I had Tubis on my F355 GTS and 360 spider. Loved them.

    Instead l pulled the vacuum lines on the 458 spider so the baffles are always open. Heaven. I could put back to stock or get a remote. Have had no complaints. So am keeping it with baffles open all the time. It’s inexpensive. Try it and see if it works for you unless you just want to spend more money.

    Had the dealer do it at my regular annual service. Some will do it for free. Mine was $130.00. Worth it IMVHO.

    There are posts here that go into detail on DIY. Apparently you have to remove the rear bumper. I am all thumbs. Don’t want to scratch something.

    yeah that is not something I want to do, I will have the dealer do it. so it basically sounds like it's on race mode all the time? Any videos?

    No videos. No complaints. Just waves and smiles from the neighbors. I am retired so never leave the house before 9 AM.

    This spec...congrats on the pick up - absolutely love it! I know a lot of guys will do a Header or Sport Cats and a valve controller for the "mild-to-wild" aspect. All depends how aggressive you're looking to be! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.

    Loved my 458 in red, but frankly I never knew that Ferraris could look so awsome in black. Great buy!!!!
