I don't think you get endless pops and crackles but I get plenty. I am very very happy with these modifications and at least to my mind, this is how the car should have been from the factory.

Exhaust sounds great trofeo....u running cat-less?

 

Thanks!

No, running 200 cell GMG Racing high flow cats with HP matrix, highly recommended, they pop like crazy on a car
with original fuel map, but it takes some time for them to modify them for the car (they use HKS cats if memory serves me right)

Sounds great. Did you only modify the cats, how bout exhaust and header?

 

Thanks!

Innotech F1 SS headers, oem sports mufflers, bmc carbon air filter, oem titanium
larger diameter exhaust tips, run her on 100% >100aki Sunoco or VP fuel

 

Do you know if there is any difference between fabspeed and innotech header?

 

Largely the same part but I would go with Innotech, Fabspeed claim their headers add 30 WHP
which is highly doubtful.

All performance headers do is add a little more presence and
aggression to the sound, they may add between 5 or 10HP, which is very little WHP!
However, they are imho necessary units for a complete aftermarket exhaust system.

If you want more sound you have to change the stock cats to high flow 200 cell
(preferred as they have a longer life) or 100 cell units.

Go with GMG Racing modded HKS 200 cells if you have a 2010 or 2011 Italia with first gen
non updated ecu software.

Thank you for the info. My car is 2013 spider, warranty will expire this January. So it's time to upgrade. I don't need more power, just looking for maximum sound. I ordered the Novitec muffler, test pipe and fabspeed header. Installer will get evomsit ECU. What do you think about this combination? The machine gun sound from your car is also interesting.

 

Good mods: should do for a great sound, and evom is one of the best ecu
tuners imho.

Unf. for machine gun sound you need the original oem 2010 ecu fuel map.

Send us videos of the upgraded sound when she is all done!!

 

Ok, my friend. Thank you.

 

awesome sounds!
Ive never seen Wilshire blvd that quite. Was it a holiday?

 

October 12th, 2014, before FNA's 60th anniversary 1000 Ferraris
in Beverly Hills event, very early am, no one sleeping that morning though LOL

 

oh hahaha ok thanks! Dang, Must have been nice to be able to do that on Wilshire. I love it when its quite like that.

 

My mechanic told me the headers will give you some more HP as the factory units are pretty restrictive. I asked him about the Fabspeed claims and he said its not unreasonable. All I can tell you is with my setup the difference in power is quite noticeable.

 

Aftermarket headers will give a bit more power but, like I said, I doubt it will be
anything close to 30WHP!

I have Innotech F1 SS headers on my Italia and did not feel that much of a
power increase, maybe others have.

very best

 

What do you think of the Novitec iconel manifolds Carlo? Same sound as the Innotech? BTW your car sounds amazing. Please never sell it or change the exhaust any further. You have THE set up.

 

Right. In my case its a combination of heaters, 100 cell cats, NR software. The car feels and sounds transformed.

We looked at the NR headers, but as much as I like NR, I just couldn't justify the extreme price vs others. I think it all comes down to their use of Inconel material.
