Can I ask where you got your exhaust? Is it all novitec - back box, controller and x-pipe?
Thanks...
No, it's a Novitec back box as that sounds best. But expensive.



Capristo X-Pipe, because both brands sound identical there.

Capristo valve controller, because it offer more control options than Novitec's controller.

Supplier was: https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/en-gb/aftermarket...

Ask for Dylan or Manu. They also arranged installation, as part of the package.

Thanks - been talking to Dylan on email today!
Does yours sound like that..? I thought that was the decatted version... I’m looking at ‘stage 2’ with Capristo or Novitec box and the rest as you describe

Decatted is the same sound as mine, but a lot louder.

You can hear my driveby at the end of my 2 minute video at the top of this thread. But recorded using just the iPhone's built-in microphone, which does it no justice.

Never say never smile They drop a ton in the first year, so become more affordable in time. The earlier model, FF is significantly cheaper too.

It's a very luxurious and usable family car, with the added bonus of being a Ferrari V12 supercar.

My wife & I took our son to Uni last month & the Lusso just impressed me so much.

Folded half the rear seats and swallowed up a boxed desktop PC etc, boxed monitor, laptop, and the usual student stuff: files, clothes, bedding, pots & pans, dishes etc etc.

I had my estate car on standby, but the Lusso did the job smile

Supercar with continent crushing capability. 2,200 RPM cruising in 7th (8,250 RPM redline on the V12), and its double glazing and high soundproofing makes it so relaxing.

I’ve grown to love this car.

77mph. (Not that I would do that speed on a public road)

I keep having thoughts of selling the 550 and getting one of these, as I'd use it more.

You're son is going to be a popular chap at uni, now everyone has seen him arriving in dad's Ferrari biggrin

It was the only way I was going to get a V12 that I'd actually use. A 2 seater wouldn't cut it for me, as I'd always take a lighter V8 for such drives. So a 4 seat family GT car, with good boot space was ideal as I knew it would get used.

Yes, arriving and leaving uni halls of residence was "interesting". The Novitec was so loud that it drew a small crowd both times.
