How does the Dual Tone Exhaust for Ferrari 488 switch between quiet and loud?

The system uses Helical UK aerospace-grade valves and keeps the factory valve functionality, so the car opens and closes them through its own drive modes and throttle, exactly as it does with the OEM exhaust. Closed, it gives a subdued street sound; open, it delivers a roaring, F1-inspired race tone. No separate controller is needed.

Does it fit both the 488 Pista and the Pista Spider?

Yes. The system fits both the Ferrari 488 Pista coupe and the 488 Pista Spider from 2018 to 2020, both with the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8. It replaces the factory rear muffler as a direct bolt-on, and the same system works on either body style.

What is the difference between this and the Supersport X-Pipe?

Both are T304 stainless X-Pipes that replace the factory muffler, but the Supersport is non-valved and always open for a constant race tone, while this Valvetronic system keeps dual-tone valves so you can run a subdued street sound or open it up for the race howl. Choose this one if you drive the Pista on the road, the Supersport if you want it loud all the time.

Does this exhaust change the emissions hardware or cause a check engine light?

No. It replaces the factory rear muffler only and keeps the factory valve functionality, so the front pipework and emissions hardware are unchanged. It is a rear-section upgrade focused on sound, with the dual-tone valves giving you street manners when you want them.

What tip options are available?

The exhaust can be finished with carbon fiber, polished stainless, or satin black oval tips, and Fabspeed's 488 Challenge Style titanium tips are available as an optional upgrade. The tip choice sets the look at the back of the car and can be matched to the rest of your build.

What is it made from and how hard is it to install?

It is built from 14 to 16 gauge T304 stainless steel, CNC mandrel-bent and TIG-welded, with Helical UK aerospace-grade valves. Installation is a direct bolt-on in place of the OEM muffler with no cutting or welding, rated Level-1 install difficulty, and the factory muffler can be refitted later since nothing is modified permanently.

Fabspeed Valvetronic Dual Tone Exhaust for Ferrari 488 Pista and Pista Spider

Fabspeed’s Valvetronic Dual Tone Exhaust for Ferrari 488 Pista and Pista Spider gives the flat-plane twin-turbo V8 two voices in one rear section. Built in the USA at Fabspeed’s Pennsylvania workshop from 14 to 16 gauge CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel, the X-Pipe uses Helical UK aerospace-grade valves that keep the factory valve control, so the car’s own exhaust mapping switches it from a subdued street sound to a roaring race tone. Closed, it stays civil enough for a quiet departure; open, it unleashes a hard, F1-inspired howl, all in comparison to the Factory Equipment. For the Pista owner who wants the car loud on track and discreet at home, this is the rear section the marque’s most exacting owners choose.

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.
