Akrapovic exhaust and remap

We do a lot of Akra and if you do full system with Cats it comes with Delete R map box so no need to really re map the complete ECU . Shoot me email i have system in stock [email protected]

 

Not too much that can be done to improve the shifting on a 458. To get an F1 sound you at least need to do headers and high flow cats or catbypass pipes. There is significant power left on the table for the 458 with an exhaust and tune

 

Have you looked into Novitec Rosso remap? Perhaps they can work well with the Akrapovic exhaust? No experience, just an idea. They provide a 609 hp kit (stage 1) for the 458. Looks pretty good.

Then why not have a look at what Underground Racing is doing. They do a lot of Ferrari turbo stuff with a pretty solid reputation to boot.

Underground Racing - TWIN TURBO FERRARI 458

 

The Akrapovic system is a great choice and you won't be disappointed. Some say its just enough sound for them and the ones who want a little more can go with the Headers & High Flow Cats.

Have you looked into any other brands as well.

 

HI Gary

the factory Ferrari 458 muffler is not the true limiting component in terms of sports car sound and power.

My company Fabspeed was the very 1st tuner to get a 458 almost 4+ years ago. We designed, engineered and Dyno developed a complete package with tuning from EVO MS for the 458. We have refined everything over the last 5 years.

1st project was Fabspeed 458 Italia equal length headers with an F1 Indycar merge collector . Fabspeed high performance headers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory OEM log style 458 headers. The Fabspeed 1.875" 47.5mm headers add sports car sound and power all across the RPM band.

The second development at Fabspeed for the 458 Italia was designing high flow 200 cell catalytic converters as simple bolt-on replacements for the 800 cell ceramic factory 458 cats. I utilized extremely large HJS German tri-metallic HD 200 cell Euro level 5 catalytic converters. These direct replacement bolt-on catalytic converters release additional more sports car sound and power. These engines are simply air-pumps that want to breathe and exhale as efficiently as possible.

The Fabspeed headers along with highflow race cats in conjunction with the stock 458 rear muffler really transform the car. If you want more a simple valve controller switch the 458 driver can Open & Close the OEM Ferrari rear muffler vacuum valves so you can make it sportier again.

Other Fabspeed options- we designed and Dyno developed rear Maxflo mini mufflers for light weight and more power. I also designed Ferrari Challenge Dual Outlet tips with a carbon fiber surround. I also can leave the HJS catalytic converters OUT of the mandrel bent pipes and offer 458 Italia catbypass pipes or cat delete pipes for Racers and potential Ferrari drivers that want maximum loud sports car sound.

Fabspeed headers and HJS cats or catbypass pipes will work with any stock OEM or aftermarket rear muffler.

I invite you to cruise my website for a detailed explanation Video showing you the stock OEM Ferrari 458 parts next to the Fabspeed 458 maxflo performance systems.

 

Sorry to bump an old thread. Joe could you comment on if a tune would help in making more power out of your parts.

OP... What did you end up going with? I'm in the same dilemma. Looking to make some more power
