    Hi all,

    This is one very interesting discussion. Thx for all the posting.

    My ‘22 GTS has the full novitec system inc 100cel cats. I’ve had it for almost a year and, while I’ve enjoyed it like crazy (see and hear it in the links below), I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a bit too much, just too loud, especially for basic daily driving. So im now contemplating two options:

    a) sell the 100cel and get 200cel cats (from Fabspeed since novitec does not build them). My question is: Is this difference REALLY noticeable? Like 50% quieter? Is the 200 definitely or just marginally quieter? If just marginal, forget it.

    b) keep the x pipe, muffler and the novitec valve opener, or get the Forza model (which works great on my Scud). I really like this option because what I don’t like is the GTS super muted sound when valves are closed. I’m happy with the sound once they open. So I think this option b could do it for me as my goal is to quiet things down by at least 50% from where I’m now with 100 cel cats

    thoughts and advice?

    Consider Capritso 250cell?

    Sure, but would it meet my goal of considerably reducing the engine sound level?

    I don't know for sure. I imagine it'd be a bit more subdued than the 100s, but not 50%. The issue with not having the HFCs, is there is not much volume change from stock. The pitch is higher, but without changing cats on my pre-GPF 812SF, the X pipe seemed to make the car more quiet and less dramatic at lower rpms. I'm not sure what stock cats are rated at.

    yes I initially went for the xpipe and muffler and the difference was pretty much 0. I learned from Dylan at Scuderia Parts in the UK that unless you add the sport cats in the 812s, it’s pretty much worthless. So I did and I’ve really enjoyed it, but now I feel it’s a bit too loud hence I’ve made up my mind about it.

    Are these it?

    And do you know if they’ll work with the rest of the Novitec system?

    Finally I guess the issue would be to buy these and again ran into the same issue and feel it’s still too loud. Wish there was content out there on YouTube demonstrating the difference…

    That’s them. I know Karl had 200s on his car, and there’s videos online of that one. Not comparison vids to 100 cell though. I’m curious about the 250s, and I am pretty sure they should fit the novitec x pipe.

    found this one and the startup is pretty much identical to mine:



    Mmmm… wonder what Dylan @250boano has to say here.
