    According to the OTO option list, they are Sport Tail Pipes, another calls them Sporty Exhaust Pipes, and a French list does show them as chrome. Ferrari tailpipes are normally stainless steel, but the 612 did have some chrome options on grilles, etc. Sports exhausts were part of the HGT2 package and those do sound better than standard exhausts, but you do not get that for $650 or so. 163930's option list shows Sporty Exhaust Pipes, too.

    From the pre-OTO Scaglietti Option List
    Chromed Exhaust Tips:
    The style of the 612 can be given an enhanced racing look by the addition of sports exhaust tips. The classic “trumpet” shape is based directly on that of the 599 GTB, with a special surface treatment leaving the outer exhaust sleeve chromed in opaque black and the outer end shiny. All of this gives an extra sporty look to the rear of the car.

    Your 2005 has a single disc clutch and F1A software with a min shift time of 180 ms. The OTO has the low inertia 599 small diameter twin disc clutch and F1 Superfast 1 software with a min shift time of 100 ms, almost twice as fast. In general the Superfast software will give smoother, faster shifts and the clutch is really tough even with 620PS 599s torqueing it. The manettino also makes selecting modes easier. OTOs also came standard with CCMs, so you may notice improved braking if you push her.

    Matt, the Sporty Exhaust is a sort of half way house between standard exhausts and the much louder HGTC / OTO sports exhaust with the double walled tips.

    They have tips that are rolled outwards in a slight trumpet shape. They are also bigger than standard pipes and more round.

    I’ve driven OTOs with all three options and they are a nice Goldilocks type compromise on sound.

    I think they were also an option on the 599. Or I have also driven a 599 with the Sporty exhaust pipes.

    Matt, definitely. Tubi has completely different sound. OTO with Sport Exhaust much nicer IMHO, and it’s valved so you can fly under the radar when you want.

    There were several packages that included louder exhausts, HGTS, HGTC (nearly the same as HGTS plus CCMs), and HGT2 for later 612s and the OTO. Confusing on interim 612s since Ferrari called HGT2 with CCMs HGTC early in interim production. This has all been posted multiple times.

    Packages:
    * *HGTS Package includes: Sports Exhausts, Modular Wheel Rims 19″ with Sport Tires, Colored Brake Calipers, Specific Suspension Control ECU, Revised F1 Gearbox Software with Shorter Gear Shift times.

    * * *HGTC Package includes: Carbon-Ceramic Brake Discs, CCM System Mono-block Brake Calipers, Sports Exhaust, Ball-polished Modular Wheel Rims 19″ with Sport Tires, Color Brake Calipers, Specific Suspension Control ECU and Revised F1 Gearbox Software with Shorter Gear Shift times.

    No, It comes with a better sounding OTO/Sessanta specific exhaust. Sport exhaust is part of the HGT2 package.
