    Just installed my S Line test pipes and exhaust last weekend and went to the track today for the first time. The 458 now screams like an F1 car, and the videos can’t possibly do justice to the experience in person, it is truly smile inducing. Here are the links to the videos, all in all about 20 flybys from different angles, definitely listen with headphones. In the first two links you should be able to scroll to the right to see each successive flyby.

    You’ll see me out there dog fighting with a GT3RS and a C8 and both cars sound anemic compared to the 458 running the S Line system.

    Can’t possibly recommend S Line enough, I have no clue what the performance gains are but, it is the best sounding Formula 1 exhaust that makes the car sound like it’s Schumacher’s V10 F1 car.

    I can’t even begin to describe the in car experience with S Line… you can literally feel it in your soul. No video is possible of capturing it.

    And shockingly, despite being straight piped it is surprisingly great for daily driving. cruising in 7th gear at highway speeds is quite relaxing and there is LESS drone than the stock OEM exhaust.

    Best upgrade I could ever do on the 458.

    Epic sound. Well done.

    Can I ask whether, with the test pipes, have you noticed any fuel smell when at idle in traffic or at a set of traffic lights?

    Did you do a tune to remove CEL because of the test pipes?

    No fuel smell at traffic lights or idle.

    No tune. I use the Capristo OBD Wizard which just plugs into my OBD port and deletes the CEL.

    Here’s the S Line system before I installed it. You’ll note that it is white, I had everything ceramic coated by Swain Tech, the gold standard and best of the best when it comes to ceramic coating. They do a lot of the NASCAR, Indy car, IMSA teams etc. the ceramic coating for the exhaust and test pipes was less than $400, a real bargain IMO. Lead time wasweeks as they’re backed up with a lot the pro race teams who goto the front of the line, but we’ll worth the wait to get the best ceramic coating in the business.

    Sounds great. That will be the first mod between the exhaust and lowering the 4x4 look. Do you still have the cats?
