Ferrari F8 Downpipes
The 3.9 litre twin-turbo V8 in the F8 breathes through two factory catalytic converters that restrict the flow considerably. These downpipes take over that section right behind the turbos, which lowers backpressure, brings the turbos up to boost faster and gives the V8 a fuller voice. You choose between 400 cell catted pipes for the road and free flow race pipes for the track.
Sound
With the 400 cell catted pipes the V8 goes deeper and you hear the turbos join in more clearly. The free flow race pipes go a good deal further: the tone turns raw and crackles appear in the overrun.
Performance and construction
- 400 cell catted pipes with high-flow catalysts that restrict far less than the factory units
- Free flow race pipes without catalysts, for the highest flow and the loudest sound
- Faster turbo spool and more mid-range torque
- Mandrel bent stainless steel piping with smooth internal transitions
- TIG welds that handle high exhaust temperatures and high boost
- Sensors in the stock positions
- Matched to the Valvetronic Ferrari F8 Valved Sport Exhaust System
Fitment and homologation
These downpipes fit the Ferrari F8 Tributo and the F8 Spider from 2019 through 2023. The free flow race pipes have no catalysts and are therefore intended for use on a closed circuit only. With that version, expect the engine management to log a fault, so a CEL module or a software adjustment is advisable.
Please note: this product has no EC or ECE type approval and carries no E-mark.
What's included
- The chosen set of downpipes, left and right
- The required clamps and mounting hardware
A CEL module and software are not supplied and need to be ordered separately.
Installation
The downpipes bolt onto the stock mounting points, but the work sits deep in the car and calls for a workshop that knows an F8. If you are unsure which of the two versions suits your plans, put that question to us at info@valvetronic-europe.com.
