    Hi everyone,
    As the title stated, I recently just bought a 458 spider and I already put 200 miles on it in 2 weeks, and I love every aspects of the car. Especially the exhaust note, but I am looking for getting an aftermarket exhaust for my 458, not sure which one sounds the best. I like the high pitch sound, so I think ipe f1 will be a pretty good option. Any thoughts?

    Novitec hands down for high pitched.
    Or you can try changing to 200 cel cats and stock exhaust is pretty damn good too, basically makes revs more rapid and like 50pc louder without being too loud.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I will consider the 200 cel cats! What if I just want to change the muffler, what is the best option? Still Novitec? Or it require full system to achieve the high pitch sound?

    Loud, bit of torque and hp, faster revs = cat
    Pitch, bit louder = muffler. Muffler is not for everyone as it changes the stock sound the most. Go with Novitec hands down if you like F1 sound.
    Torque and Hp = header

    You can’t go wrong with Novitec but get the one with flaps. Flaps you need otherwise it won’t be smooth at low rpm when cold and too loud. Also without flaps you will lose low end torque (very notable uphill) due to lack of back pressure.

    Finally you need an ECU tune to rid CEL from cats. Otherwise check out Novitec OBDII plugin which will keep your ECU stock whilst plugged in.
