Great Build! Congrats. I put my F8 order in on September 27th Rosso Portofino F8 Spider over Cuoio. Got a call on October 11th that they accepted my build and that they were finished taking orders for ALL F8's and SF90's. Just got in under the flag.
Shaun, "I did exhaust, xpipe, gpf removal no ecu mods(messing with the ecu would mess with the warranty)" Does Xpipe and GPF require a Engine Retune?
No. Just a code clearer if you don't want a CEL. "Engine retune" would require ECU mods, which he clarified he didn't get.
Nice! I am in LA as well and would love to check it out. My F8 has a completion date of 11/24 and a Novitec exhaust would be a dream. Could you share the dealer info so I could try for that route as well?
Lowering and spacers has transformed your stance. Here’s mine with standard spec for comparison… Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The car sounds 10x better in person, then it does on video. Yes, Nero Daytona. I'm back in town next weekend if any local LA guys want to hear the beast in person. As far as dealer goes just pm me. Thank you
Looks awesome honestly. I placed an F8 spider order 8.5.21 and debated the cf wheels but couldn’t bring myself to spend the extra 30k for the wheels although they are awesome. I also heard from my dealer that they just closed the f8 order book due to record orders, he mentioned I got my order in perfect time. Still anxiously waiting though!

So will you need to periodically clear the CEL? I thought about mechanically pinning the bypass valves open and hoping that wouldn't trigger a CEL, and if so, simply clear the codes with a Launch X431. Also hoping that the need to clear the CEL wouldn't be too frequent.
Duuude! Congrats. If thats just the rear section (with opf deleted) it sounds siiiick! At 35 sec it shot flames too!!
Beautiful car Shaun! Congrats and enjoy in good health. Yup, I heard and confirmed they are completely done with F8 orders. I'm so glad I got mines in March; still always doing that 2nd look turnaround when I walk away from my car in a parking lot........
Novitec springs ( KW springs) really are a awesome money well spent mod. It makes me wonder why the car doesn’t come from the factory with a quality of spring like these. Ride quality and handling is greatly improved
Awesome looking and sounding F8 Shaun!! We should organise a drive to Angeles Forest Highway before the weather turns for winter! I went for an epic drive there a couple of weeks ago and I am still grinning!! Image Unavailable, Please Login May the Horse be with you
Congratulations. You now have no warranty and are driving a car with a tampered emissions control system in violation of federal law. And you posted your efforts on the internet. Brilliant. Truly exceptional intellect.
That's pretty harsh. If his local Ferrari dealer did the work I'm sure they won't allow him to void warranty as that's reason for a big lawsuit. From my understanding the exhaust and springs DO NOT VOID the warranty. Perhaps the GPF removal and x pipe don't either?
Ive been a member here for under 30 days here but this comment reads pretty aggressive. Youre absolutely technically correct but unless you have a badge that says EPA or “warranty police” or are in that dudes family photo that came off with a relatively condascending tone.
There are some real pieces of work on here sometimes. But the vast majority of guys are really great and can help you a lot. Don’t let the few arrogant boneheads ruin the experience for you.
Completely agree, its not my first rodeo on forums and i typically keep quiet and let people sort it out. Not sure why i felt compelled to say something maybe i took it personally too lol (he/she should see what im doing to my gt3). As far as great posts go there is some next level info on this forum and it actually makes me more excited about the cars! Cheers
In all fairness, I heard you can’t remove the GPF for instance either. Not a delicate post, but the attorney in me avoids heading in this direction. Montana tags?
