What is the difference between the NOVITEC SF90 race exhaust and the exhaust with flap-regulation?

The race exhaust eliminates the valve mechanism entirely, fixing the exhaust note at maximum aggression at all RPM. The flap-regulated system retains a valve that switches between a refined tone and full aggressive output depending on driving mode. If sound flexibility matters, the flap-regulated system is the correct choice; the race exhaust is for owners who want the exhaust note locked at maximum at all times.

Why are the NOVITRONIC and TECTRONIC recommended with this exhaust?

The SF90's electronics are calibrated around the factory exhaust configuration. The TECTRONIC prevents OBD error codes when sport downpipes are installed, and the NOVITRONIC resolves the compatibility issue between the factory valved exhaust electronics and a non-valved system. Both are recommended to ensure the SF90 runs without fault codes after installation.

What is the difference between the stainless steel and Inconel versions?

Inconel is a nickel-chromium alloy that is lighter than stainless steel and handles higher sustained temperatures more effectively. For track use or extended high-load driving, Inconel is the stronger choice. The stainless version is the baseline option and suits street-focused builds.

What does the 999 fine-gold plating add over standard Inconel?

The gold-plated Inconel version adds thermal reflectivity at the surface, reducing heat radiation into the surrounding engine bay. The underlying construction and heat protection are identical to the standard Inconel version; the difference is thermal performance at the surface and visual finish.

Description

NOVITEC Race Exhaust System for F173 Ferrari SF90 / SF90 XX (stradale and spider)

The NOVITEC Ferrari SF90 race exhaust eliminates the valve mechanism entirely, locking the twin-turbo V8’s exhaust note at maximum output at every RPM with no quiet mode and no switchable tone. On the SF90 and SF90 XX platform, where the hybrid powertrain already produces a complex acoustic signature, removing flap regulation gives the combustion engine’s exhaust voice a more direct, unfiltered character that the valved system inherently moderates. Built from stainless steel or lightweight Inconel with full heat protection throughout, and available with 999 fine-gold plating on the Inconel version for maximum thermal reflectivity at the hottest points in the system. Optional tailpipes are available separately for SF90 Stradale and SF90 Spider fitments; the SF90 XX configuration should be confirmed with NOVITEC regarding tailpipe compatibility.

Precision Engineering by NOVITEC

NOVITEC develops premium performance components built exclusively for Ferrari, with every system engineered to the specific platform it fits rather than adapted from a broader catalog. For the SF90, that means working within a hybrid architecture that combines combustion and electric power, where the interaction between systems demands a level of precision that generic aftermarket solutions cannot meet. From exhaust systems and forged wheels to suspension and interior refinement, each NOVITEC component integrates directly into the SF90’s existing architecture without disrupting what makes the car work.

Engineering Philosophy

The SF90 does not need reinterpretation. It needs refinement. NOVITEC’s approach to the twin-turbo V8 and three-electric-motor platform starts with understanding how each system operates and where performance can be drawn out without upsetting the balance Ferrari engineered in. Every component is developed to factory-level standards, with precision fitment that preserves thermal management, system efficiency, and long-term durability. No mass production. No universal solutions. No compromise.

Core NOVITEC Exhaust Systems for Ferrari SF90

NOVITEC exhaust systems for the SF90 are built to optimize gas flow, system calibration, and the acoustic presence of the twin-turbo V8 without disrupting the hybrid system’s operation. Available in stainless steel or lightweight Inconel, with an optional 999 fine-gold plated finish that adds thermal reflectivity at the surface to reduce heat buildup in the engine bay under sustained high-load conditions.

Built for Ferrari Owners Who Demand Precision

NOVITEC’s customers are private owners and collectors who understand the significance of what they drive. Every component is developed to refine the driving experience on its own terms, without changing what the SF90 fundamentally is. All systems are tested and validated under real-world conditions before they reach a customer’s car.

NOVITEC & Ferrari

Italian heritage, German engineering discipline. NOVITEC’s work on the SF90 comes from a detailed understanding of what makes Ferrari’s hybrid platform perform the way it does, and where refinement is possible without compromise. Every part added to the system is measured against that standard, whether the goal is a more immediate exhaust note, reduced weight, or a sharper dynamic response.

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.
