What is the difference between the Race system and the NOVITEC exhaust with flap-regulation?

The Race system eliminates the valve mechanism entirely, meaning there is no quiet mode and no switchable tone. The exhaust note is fixed at maximum aggression at all RPM and throttle positions.

Do I need additional parts to avoid error codes after installing this system?

Yes. NOVITEC recommends pairing this exhaust with the NOVITEC TECTRONIC and GTRONIC modules to prevent OBD error codes from triggering after installation. Without these modules, the 296's electronics may flag sensor irregularities related to the exhaust configuration.

Are tailpipes included, and can I choose different tailpipe styles?

No, tailpipes are optional on this system. NOVITEC offers stainless tailpipes as well as stainless and carbon combinations for the 296 platform, so you can configure the rear exit finish independently of the main system choice.

Is the NOVITEC Race Exhaust suitable for street use on the Ferrari 296?

The system is designed for both track and road use on the F171 Ferrari 296 GTB and GTS. That said, removing flap regulation means there is no reduced-noise mode, so the exhaust note is consistently at race-level volume regardless of driving conditions. Buyers should factor local sound regulations into their decision before purchasing.

Description

NOVITEC Race Exhaust System w/o Flap-Regulation for F171 Ferrari 296 GTB & GTS

The NOVITEC Ferrari 296 Race Exhaust cuts the valve mechanism entirely, delivering a fixed, unfiltered exhaust note from the F163 3.0L twin-turbo V6 at every RPM. There is no quiet mode, no switchable tone, and no compromise. For owners who want maximum sound and power output without the variable character of a valved system, this is the configuration to choose. Built from stainless steel or lightweight Inconel, with full heat protection throughout, the system is engineered to hold up under sustained high-load conditions on track. A 999 fine-gold plated Inconel option is also available, adding superior thermal reflectivity alongside the visual distinction. Tailpipes are sold separately, with stainless and stainless-and-carbon options available to configure the rear exit finish to your spec.

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.
