Does the NOVITEC Roma X-pipe fit both the Portofino M and the Roma?

Yes. Both share the same 3.9L twin-turbo V8 and front-engine architecture, though they're built on different platforms.

What does an X-pipe actually change compared to the factory crossover?

The X-pipe is the section where exhaust from both cylinder banks merges before reaching the rear silencers. NOVITEC's version is shaped for better scavenging between banks, which reduces back pressure and sharpens throttle response, rather than simply opening up the sound.

Will installing the NOVITEC Roma X-pipe make the car too loud for daily driving?

It increases exhaust note over the factory crossover, since the stock piece is tuned conservatively for cabin refinement. It's not as aggressive as a full race exhaust, but drivers who want a quiet mode back for commuting should pair it with a valve-equipped NOVITEC exhaust system.

What is the NOVITEC Roma X-pipe made from?

Premium stainless steel with heat protection built in for sustained high-temperature operation under the car, which holds up under repeated heat cycling without the material fatigue that shows up on cheaper pipe sections over time.

Is it the same as a full NOVITEC exhaust system?

No. The NOVITEC Roma X-pipe only replaces the crossover section between the two exhaust banks.

Description

NOVITEC X-Pipe for F16x Ferrari Portofino M / Roma

Ferrari tuned the factory X-pipe on both the Portofino M and Roma for cabin refinement first, quiet at idle, restrained under light throttle, only opening up once the driver commits. That conservatism comes at the cost of scavenging efficiency between the two banks of the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8, and it’s the same crossover section whether the car is destined for a daily commute or a weekend on back roads. The NOVITEC Roma X-pipe replaces that section with a design built specifically around how the engine actually breathes, improving how exhaust pulses from each bank interact before they reach the rear silencers. The result is a measurable gain in back pressure reduction rather than a cosmetic tone change bolted onto a stock system. NOVITEC has spent years developing exhaust hardware for Ferrari’s turbocharged V8 platforms, and this X-pipe reflects that focus: a component built to work with the factory system rather than around it, for owners who want the Portofino M or Roma to sound and respond like the engine underneath it actually can.

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.
