Let's Drive: Ferrari 488 GTB

We're wrapping up development of our suite of performance products for the Ferrari 488 GTB, have a look as we take our development car out and about for a drive.



I will admit, I was not impressed with the 488 when it first arrived in stock form - the sound did just not compare to a screaming 458. When all was said and done with mods, god damn! The car is now making over 100whp in gains and the exhaust note is impressive! At full throttle it's absolutely amazing, truly a worthy successor to the 458.

Bonus behind the scenes video as we craft the Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust System, Catbypass Pipes, and Challenge Style Tips:

Sound is insane and 100 hp gains are fantastic.
Gains can't all be exhaust though ??????

Very impressive

Thank you! The 488 is equipped with our exhaust components and a custom tune.

Here's a video of the tuning process on our Dynojet:

Sounds great! I will agree, the factory sound left a lot to be desired.

Nice work.

Even if you can afford it you can't get one unless you're already a good customer. I asked the local Ferrari dealership and they told me I couldn't buy one. That policy really turns me off Ferrari as a brand. I think I'll stick to Porsche and Lambo.

I have seen Fabspeed has a downpipe/exhaust combo for the 650s. Are you guys running any special on that? I would be interested.
Thanks
