    I love my F8. Everything about it.

    But coming from Huracan Performante, it lacks the pop and the looks that it gets when the car starts up.

    Ok , I’ll go first. My stock F8 spider still sounds like my Dyson vacuum cleaner.

    I have the X pipe installed... Lived with it for 3 years and now considering upgrading to full system.

    How much of an improvement is just the X pipe?

    I already had novitec exhaust, and got 200 cell Kline cats installed yesterday. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet, but excited to hear how it sounds.

    Novitec exhaust alone sounded quite good, not sure the cats were even necessary, I just got bored one day.

    I have the full system* installed and it's pretty much converted it into a Pista-like type of sound. Wayyyyy better.

    I'll post some footage soon, but this pretty much like this:

    *Muffler Section with flaps
    Switchtronic Module
    X- Pipe Module
    Sport Cats (100cel)
    (all Novitec products)

    Do you use the flaps? Does it lower the sound much when closed?

    Im still waiting and seriously HOPING for someone to finally come in and say, this is the set up, parts, company etc that works correctly without damaging something else. So far, every single person that has been on here and said they have x set up and they love it and it transforms the car etc—- then, also, starts or is in some other thread saying CELs, limp mode, burned turbos, electric issues etc…. PLEASE PLEASE Novitech or someone come up with the proper aftermarket exhaust that sounds great and functions perfectly for the F8…. Or better yet, Ferrari please do so since GPF is not required in this country…. Yet.

    I wish Ferrari would partner with a known exhaust company for a certified GPF delete exhaust system for the F8. Ferrari most likely doesn't care and not there business plan but if a top rated company could present to Ferrari a tested system showing Ferrari no harm to any parts of the engine thus maintaining warranty and a royalty to Ferrari to approve this system with the Ferrari brand name I know a lot of systems would be purchased and installed.

    For the benefit of the F8 owners IMO you should also state issues like cel lights etc.

    I will I Will!!! IF they can finally make a system like I said and like mdrums stated from Ferrari or a Ferrari partner type thing... I would LOVE that! An actual functioning system that doesn't hurt the car like the stuff that's out there now.

    I have the Novitec valveless “Race” exhaust, no GPF’s, and the Tectronic plugged in. I had it installed at delivery when car was new. 3 years & 8,000km later, I’ve never had a single CEL or issue. The car sounds amazing, even with stock cats. My standard warranty expires next month. Based on never having a single issue with this car, I’m likely not buying the extended warranty. I guess I like to live dangerously haha

    Nice to hear. You wouldn’t be able to buy the warranty anyway but happy to hear this. Hopefully turbos aren’t about to burn out.

    I heard a Pista with full Novitec system and sport cats the other day and it was so, so, incredible. I literally thought of Todd when I heard it, and how much he would actually lose his **** if he heard it also.

    Your turbos will not burn out. You are too scared to do it, bro, and that's okay, but just stop talking about it in this thread.
