Do the Charge Pipes for Ferrari 488 fit the GTB and the Spider?

Yes. The Charge Pipes for Ferrari 488 fit both the 488 GTB coupe and the 488 Spider from 2016 to 2019, since the two share the same 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 and the same charge-pipe routing. They are a direct bolt-on in place of the factory pipes, so no cutting or custom work is needed on either body style.

Do I need a tune to run them?

No tune is required. The pipes match the factory diameter and routing and replace the plastic originals, so the car runs them on the stock calibration with no check engine light. Fabspeed recorded the 21 wheel horsepower and 23 lb-ft gain with no tune, so the power comes from flow alone.

Why replace the factory charge pipes?

The factory charge pipes are molded ABS plastic that turns brittle under years of heat and boost and can crack or split, which drops boost and can strand the car. Swapping them for polished 6061 aluminum removes that failure point, improves flow for a measured power gain, and sharpens the intake sound at the same time.

Will they make the turbos louder?

Yes. Aluminum carries sound where the factory plastic muffles it, so you hear more of the twin-turbos' whistle and the rush of air under boost, with a sharper intake note overall. It is a mechanical, induction-side sound rather than a louder exhaust, and it comes on strongest as boost builds through the mid-range.

Are the silicone air intake hoses included?

The silicone coupler hoses that seal the charge pipes are included. The separate Ferrari 488 silicone air intake hoses for the airbox side, and the BMC filter, are optional upgrades offered at checkout for an added cost. The charge pipes work fully on their own; the extra hoses and filter are there if you want to go further.

Is installation a direct bolt-on?

Yes. The pipes are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM charge pipes, using the factory connection points and the included silicone hoses. Most owners have a shop handle it to work cleanly around the hot-side plumbing, but there is no cutting, welding, or tuning involved.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
