    The topic says it all i guess.

    Is it possible to get the GTO exhaust note on a 599 HGTE ?

    Right now I have cat-bypass and capristo valvetronic exhaust on my car, but I would love the get that GTO exhaust note.

    Any suggestions ? What is the GTO's sound is all about ? Intake or just cats and silencers ?

    Thanks

    We know the GTO exhaust will not fit the 599 because the chassis are different. GTO wheels will fit, though, so some consolation.

    Does anyone know how this Innotech exhaust compares with the equivalent Capristo?
    I am really having a hard time picking a winner here ... and more importantly deciding which one to order :)

    The Ferrari dealership here is suggesting the OEM HGTE or a Tubi which they can fit for me and also give me warranty (surprisingly). Tubi is the only aftermarket exhaust that they would do from the dealership but i am not convinced that this is the way to go.

    Interesting. Will the headers fit though? If the headers do, then get someone to build the rest of the exhaust up out of titanium and you're good to go.

    The OEM HGTE doesnt sound much diff than standard if at all. If you just want to increase sound and want the simplest, least expensive and least intrusive option, buy one of these (link below) and call it a day. If you want a little more sound add a secondary bypass pipe. Neither will trigger CEL or void warranty and cost a fraction of a full exhaust replacement.

    I haven't rode in a GTO full throttle so not sure exactly how they sound. I recently moved from the Capristo to a Meisterschaft since I wanted more "sound" out of the car. The Meisterschaft is definitely louder and has a bit more bassy tone to it due to the oversized piping and the way they made their bypass pipes. For someone wanting something a bit more obnoxious sound wise over the Capristo, the Meisterschaft is a good option. Have not heard an Innotech in person...

    So would a secondary bypass pipe be the best way to go? Anyone else care to express an opinion on this?

    capristo is a good option for V12

    The secondary catbypass pipes are going to give you a very aggressive but lower tone compared to the GTO. I would say that the secondary catbypass pipes make the 599 sound more like an Enzo than a GTO.

    I would start with the valve control first. Easier install and less $. Next add the bypass pipes.

    Guys, I am still looking to get a 599 in here to look at possible muffler development and secondary catbypass revisions. Anyone that is interested will receive a free secondary catbypass set up :)

    it's all about the headers...it doesn't really matter which aftermarket mufflers/exhaust you use, the sound will fundamentally be the same low/gruff unless you change the headers.

    But not to the tune that it'll sound like a GTO. You need 6-1 headers for that, no way around it.

    The highest pitched 599 exhaust I have heard, where you only swap the mufflers and tailpipes, is the Kreissieg. Believe they also sell complete exhaust systems including headers.

    Their kits sound amazing but I can't justify the $10k msrp. I don't see enough value at that price point.

    Less than an original GTO exhaust would cost, if it would fit, but still very expensive. Pays for all the engineering to get that sound. Notice Kreissieg includes an X-pipe with their systems. Good for sound, possibly, but costs hp and torque compared to simple straight pipes as fitted to the OEM 599.

    Possibly considering an IPE Infotech exhaust with cat bypass for my 599.

    Based on the above, would having the cat bypass actually make the tone lower? I do like the slightly higher pitched tone. It will never sound like a 599XX, but OMG they sound EXCELLENT
