Here's one for all the posters here that still insist you can't get a GREAT exhaust sound from a 488 :-)
LOL :-)
True experience: hanging out in showroom while my Novitec-equipped 488 is being serviced. Sales guy tries to get me to flip to almost-new 296 on...
hmmm...well, I wouldn't go so far as "craps all over it" but I can attest first hand that the right combo of exhaust, sport cats, and charge pipes...
As others stated, you won't get the same high-pitched F1 wail like a 458, but....you can get a significantly improved sound plus a much more...
I have a '17 488 for 5 years in/out of storage and have not experienced this. Couple basic questions: - what is your storage routine? Mine...

I see several Hagerty fans here. However...believe it or not...I did extensive research and offer this for your consideration: - I used Farmers...

hate to say it but I think you're screwed. First they kill the sound (and driver engagement) by amping up the computer controls in the F8 vs...
take it apart and make sure the battery is securely seated in the cradle. You may have to adjust the tension clips that hold the battery in place
Had similar challenges with BT in my '17 488. Just plug in the cable vis the USB port in the center console. Problem solved :-)
lol...nope! If my son visits me to help soon, I'll get a tunnel run at red line for you guys :-)
