Ferrari 488 GTB by Capristo Exhaust Sound & Acceleration Fly by

Agreed, very impressive sounds for a 488.

 

Huge Improvement.

 

Sounds very good. Must be high flow cats in the config ? Still wish the car could do 9000 rpm though....kind of sounds like short shifting a 458.

 

dirty sound,

 

Well, it was a minute before you that I posted the video ;-)

As mentioned, this is our newest development for the F488GTB called twin flow. Has the features of a cat replacement pipe with a cat. Benefits full sound, no CEL, no necessity to use a dongle or whatever to avoid the CEL.

It's bad

 

This is also giving me hope , need more clips

 

I just don't like the turbo whine/whistle when revving stationary

 

It is like it is .. stay with a naturally aspirated or go turbo/supercharged ..

But each one has it's characteristics with pros and cons. Yes the screaming of a 458 is beautiful but the power of the F488GTB and the potential to boldly go where no one has .. ;-)

Love both.

Well put !

 

I have to say sounds better then any mclaren, but doesn't compare or even come close to the 458 Stock sound which is sad

 

Guys it sounds pretty CRAP overall vs. anything

 

Good and bad. 488 won't ever be in the same league as a 458 sound wise. We have to deal with it and done. You cant compare a purring house cat with a roaring lion.

If I look at the turbo car and NOT NA engines, I have to say that Ferrari has done a fantastic job. I was expecting worse but they coped well with it. Comparing to Mclaren and the like I have to say that the 488 is just short of beating the Turbo s. Hate me if you want but to me the 911 turbo S sounds epic

 

458 won't ever be in the same league as a 488 performance wise. Just depends what you want out of your car.

 

Agreed...I was hoping to be swayed but not even close

is it me or do the drive-by portions of the vid sound extremely manipulated / amped up? or maybe the mic was attached separately to the car?

 

Absolutely! And I think we either will have to stick with a NA car in the garage while getting used to turbos in the future. Look, there has been a lot of FUD wrt valved exhaust systems that shall be prohibited. And what are we talking about? Legislation wants to change the metrics on how a car has to cope with the noise emissions .. the how and when.

so its simple don't buy a 488 .. as otherwise you are probably and sadly much better with a McLaren 650S

 

Better than I thought! But the mic was dubbed in from the car vs the camera? Seems like it.

 

Nice sound, just very different than banging gears in a 458

 

Here is a small one I did with my iPhone 6s Plus while doing some development drives.

Has this system an official approval and homologation for road service? (EU)

 

No, not with the current configuration. With cat replacement (or test pipes even 200cpsi sports cats) impossible to get. There are at least 2 factors, noise emissions and pollution that would not meet the required parameters.
