Hi Guys

Just back from a e European blast in the Ferrari 458 and I've noticed that since I've come back my car sounds louder. In Sports mode it sounds like its in Race mode and much louder. At idle the car sounds more bassier.

Could it be that the exhaust flaps are stuck open?

The car drives fine and has no CEL lights on the dash...in fact why am I complaining. biggrin

Thanks
Pocty

Thanks guys it looks like my flaps are stuck open as it does not go quieter in Wet or Sports mode.

I'll take it to the dealer asap but what is the process in fixing the problem?

Cheers

Hi Guys

Just to say that my car is fine now.

The guys at Supercar Italia in Biggin Hill changed the vacum pipes and vacum pump and the car feels and sounds like a different car. It's even more pointy and dart like. It was fast before but now its even faster.

Plus I asked them not to update my 2010 458 ecu so I've still got all the pops and bangs.

Thanks for all your advice and info.

Cheers
Pocty
