    Haven’t decided yet. As far as warranty goes, in the US if you modify your car with exhaust as an example, they can’t deny you warranty for a suspension issue or electronic problems. There would have to be a direct link to what went wrong and the modification. I’ve had lots of personal experience with this.

    You are correct, but I’d be worried about the hybrid/battery system. They will 100% deny any claim related to that as that would be an easy link for them.

    Yes, I decided to go with the Novitec. I still believe they have the best Ferrari exhaust solutions. As far as warranty, I’m not naive about this issue. I’ve had aftermarket exhaust on over 50 cars. Would I be sick if I had an engine issue and they refused to fix it under warranty, you bet ya. But such is life. My F8 would have not been the same if I left the exhaust stock. 5 years later, no regrets. Crazy thing is I drive a Tesla everyday, but when I get in my exotics, they need to scream. As a matter of fact, I just ordered full exhaust for my new GT3 RS.

    Hey guys

    Now that 8 months have passed, I thought I would revive this thread. Update, I have not yet ordered my Novitec exhaust. I got busy with a bunch of travel and haven’t had a chance to even think about it. My car has about 700 miles on it and I seriously think it’s time to do exhaust.

    Has anyone added Novitec, and if not, what about other systems. Love to hear your thoughts…

    Bump…

    Would really love to hear from guys that have added aftermarket exhaust, especially Novitec.

    I question whether the exhaust even improves the sound. There is no x pipe, and I bet the cat back is inconsequential on this car.

    I think it does on the outside not sure about the inside. Sounds really good inside above 5k.

    You’re telling me! it’s amazing how much better the V6 sounds compared to the turbo V8 above 5000. You can’t even hear them..

    I read about his issues. Did he end up going aftermarket? TNA

    not only would it not be enough, this behavior would meet the charging requirements of multiple criminal statutes, including theft by deception

    Ferrari does not warranty modified cars. Period. Full stop. The MMA has no legal application under these circumstances.
    If you don’t like Ferrari’s warranty terms and conditions, shop elsewhere

    Incorrect, not sure who you are, but after owning 15 Ferrari’s you are wrong.

    I guess you didn’t read my post. That’s ok. I’ve had 15 different Ferrari’s, and they’ve all been modified. In most cases the dealer did the modifications. ZERO WARRANTY ISSUES.

    Interesting. I assume you’re an attorney, why would the MMA not be applicable to Ferrari’s warranty?

    Todd, can you write that one more time? I didn't catch it here or in the previous 20 exhaust threads you've commented in

    You know Todd, for a moment I thought you might be a really by the book Ferrari dealer GM somewhere, but now that you’ve resorted to name calling, that’s obviously not the case. And Boomer, really, is that the best you can do. :)

    @cpiguy I don't know which exhaust is best, but I can tell you that most people here will be against the exhaust. I like Valvetronics sound to be honest, but that is just Chinese dropshipped stuff, and there are sometimes qc issues. Novitec/Kline/Akrapovic is the way to go.

    Yes exhaust legalities are a hobby of mine.
