What does this X-pipe do, and what does it replace?

It replaces the factory mid-pipes and resonators, the heaviest and most restrictive part of the 550's exhaust, with a free-flowing X-pipe crossover. That lets the 5.5-litre V12 breathe more freely for more power and a better voice, while leaving the car's emissions hardware in place, so it is a flow-and-sound upgrade rather than a stripped-out straight pipe.

What does the X-Pipe for Ferrari 550 Maranello do to the sound?

It gives the V12 a richer, more exotic voice. By removing the restrictive resonators and balancing the two cylinder banks through the X-pipe, the engine sounds fuller and more purposeful as it climbs the rev range, the way a front-engined V12 Ferrari should, without becoming harsh or droning on a cruise.

How much power does it add?

Fabspeed's dyno shows gains of 25 hp and 18 ft-lb of torque, and the X-pipe takes 15 lbs off the car by replacing the bulky factory resonators. Because it opens up the most restrictive part of the mid-section, the improvement is felt across the whole rev range rather than just at peak, along with sharper throttle response.

Does it fit my car, and does it fit the 575M?

It fits the 1996-2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello with the 5.5L V12. Fabspeed lists it for the 550 only, so if you have a 575M Maranello or another variant, confirm fitment with us before ordering. Send us your year and model and we will make sure you get the correct part.

Is it a bolt-on installation?

Yes. The X-pipe is a direct replacement with no cutting or welding required, rated Level-1 install difficulty. Mechanically confident owners with a lift and hand tools can fit it, though many prefer a specialist handle the swap on a V12 Ferrari to confirm a clean, leak-free seal at every joint.

What is the X-Pipe for Ferrari 550 Maranello made from?

It is built from high-quality 14-to-16-gauge CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel. The mandrel bends keep the bore smooth for flow, and the T304 stainless resists corrosion and sustained exhaust heat, giving an X-pipe that performs and lasts on a car meant to be driven.

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.
