The new system bolts directly to the factory front catalyst, providing the perfect balance between full road legality and ultimate performance, ensuring that the car’s emissions stay very close to factory parameters, despite a notable power increase. The exhaust note has been carefully honed to offer a truly sporting tone, without being obtrusive in the cabin.

At £ 720.00 including VAT, this exhausts kit if a bit pricey, but it works.

DMC tuning center released a preview of their package for the Ferrari FF.
