    Are rims the Vossen Novitec NF9, HRE P104SC or ANRKY A 12? None of the above?

    I've never been a fan of Fabspeed or Akrapovic. This may sound as an improved version of the stock exhaust but it certainly doesn't meet Novitec or Kline standards. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on this.

    I had Fabspeed race exhaust on my Huracan and it was top! However I don’t think I will use them for new Ferrari car since they don’t have answer for CEL and whoever buys their exhaust need to get CEL delete from Novitec

    Agree with ya there, if I change the exhaust I’ll do one of the Novitec setups.

    You really can’t compare the cat-back Fabspeed system to a straight pipe novitec system. Let’s compare apples to apples. I’m sure the Fabspeed would sound great with a GPF and Cat delete and I’m sure the cat-back Novitec x-pipe wouldn’t sound nearly as good as the straight piped cars we’ve seen in the videos so far.

    We are comparing apples to apples. There is an F8 that has been modified with exhaust only and it sounds significantly much better than that. I'm sorry but you wouldn't catch me dead in a car with Fabspeed or Akraprovic exhausts systems. It is the same as having a Gintani. Actually a Gintani exhaust sounds much better and has much less "name" in the business. That says a lot!

    I didn’t realize we had heard a cat-back novitec setup. I’ll have to go back and look for that video.

    Doubtful, GPF was given to us because of the 2020 EU noise & emissions standards. :eek:

    Need some help, please.

    I installed the Capristo valve kit 9 months ago. Haven’t had a single issue in 1500 miles of driving until 4 weeks ago. I was out for a short drive and got an Engine Malfunction error message. I had the car towed to the dealer who said it was caused by the valve kit. They reset it and gave me the car back saying it probably won’t happen for another 1500 miles. Unfortunately it happened again 2 weeks later after 20 miles.

    I have an email from Capristo confirming that their kit would not throw a CEL.

    So, is anyone else having an issue with one of these valve kits???

    Arnie , what I found out from F Tampa when I picked up my new car was they were having issues with the controller and advised me to wait until some manufacturer figures out something that will be bulletproof. So here I am waiting. Please let me know what Capristo says. Best , Kirk.

    Right now if all you want to do is an exhaust controller, the best bet is the Novitec switchtronic and add the Techtronic OBD plugin to clear the codes. I’m patiently waiting for FNA approval thru my local dealer to modify the exhaust, salesman claims approval should be coming in April....

    Is there blue smoke coming out of exhaust? That's what it appears to be.
