Anyone just put larini x pipe with standard exhaust. If so is it worth it or better to get larini rear exhaust?

Not yet, awaiting delivery of my x pipe (not Larini). I'll let you know my feedback when it arrives and has been fitted - should be next week.

Several people have fitted only the X pipe, to good effect. Fitting the Larini rear boxes as well simply makes it yet louder. So it just depends on how loud you want it to be, and how much you want to spend.

Yes and yes. I had a 2012 GT S with a Larini X pipe and everything else standard and it was fabulous. Made a massive difference to volume and the type of noise.... so definitely worth it.

I'm taking my Larini X pipe off next week as the car is going but to answer your question it does make **** of a difference.
I think adding more than an X pipe would make it too noisey on a long run

The X is a great & relatively inexpensive place to start and for many, is enough of a modification to make. Definitely worth doing and maybe FF1078 will be selling his?

Didn’t have any... the only time I would occasionally turn off the Sport button was if I was cruising on a motorway, and I wanted to be able to listen to some music without being distracted by the V8 burble...

I've got an Autoshield x-pipe on mine which I think is what mmarks is waiting for. It registered over 111dBa at a recent event and is plenty loud enough for me. I can't imagine what it's like with further modification. With the valves closed, it's perfectly civilised on the motorway. If I was you I would start with this and then decide if you want more.

It sure is, looking forward to receiving it (hopefully next week).

Here's a cr*p video I did of mine with just an autoshield X pipe. Rubbish dash mount, and I'm no racing driver. But it gives you an idea of the noise.

Sounds good. Granturismo is one of the best sounding cars ever only bettered by lambo and ferrari.

Not 100% yet but going to the other stable for sure. I would like a Cali T in Rosso Fuoco but my heart keeps telling me to go for a 599 but my head keeps telling me they are too old fashioned now.

I haven't actually bought the car yet. The wife has given the green light to get the mid life crisis car. I am 80% for granturismo and 20% 911. Pretty sure it's going to be maser.

i put one on my 4.2. You can find the videos of before and after in my newbie thread.

Then I added 4.7 mufflers. It's quite loud when these are in the open mode. I have them on a remote, so i can open then whenever i want, below 3000 you really hear the v8 rumble going on. After 3000 the high pitch takes over. I managed to set off several car alarms with valves open below 3000 rpm, i guess thats good :p

I had a similar consideration but I was looking at the 911 as a 2 seater (because that is all they really are) and came very close to buying a GT3.

Went for a GT in the end as I wanted 4 useable seats but that aside, the GT is (in my opinion):

  • better looking
  • better sounding
  • rarer and more unusual
  • loved by non petrol heads
  • not a Porsche :)

That colour is spectacular and super rare on any Ferrari!
