Ferrari 488 GTB / Spider / Pista Titanium Valved Exhaust System
3.0" Free-Flow Front Pipes • Valved Rear Section • Signature Titanium Construction
Overview
When Ferrari replaced the legendary 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 with the 3.9L twin-turbo, the high-revving scream gave way to subdued tones and muted boost noises. While the 488’s performance is undeniable, its factory exhaust note doesn’t deliver the raw excitement its chassis and powerplant deserve.
The Valvetronic Designs Titanium Valved Exhaust System transforms the 488 into the car it should have been from the start—unleashing turbo spool, enhancing throttle response, and delivering an aggressive, exotic soundtrack worthy of the prancing horse badge.
