Guys, I'm thinking of adding an exhaust for my Puro. Novitec and IPE are the ones that have developped such a kit. However replacing the X-Pipe is a definitive No No with Ferrari and warranty. Just the exhaust (last part) is a question mark in terms of warranty. Does anyone here have any experience with just replacing the end bit or is the x-pipe absolutely mandatory for optimal sound. Please not I said optimal sound, I have no interest in waking up the entire town, as Novitec likes to do with their recent clips!
From what I have gathered about the newer GPF based setups, to keep everything as kosher as possible, you are going to affect the volume the most and the tone very little, if any. I think to get real results, even if it's not about volume level, it will require a lot of work, definitely ECU tuning. Because of that, I would recommend leaving it alone to 99% of people. Perhaps you are in the 1% who is willing to take on the risk and challenge, and I say bravo to that!
Why do you say replacing he X pipe is a no no? I'd say that's likely the part that will change tone the most. It doesn't involve the cats on this car, right? Just the middle pipe.
Because that part is supposedly notorious with errors and quite possible damaging. Based on what I've heard from others and the garage team at my dealer's (whom are normally pretty easy when it comes to modifications).
