His bravery didn\u2019t stop there however, he wanted to go all out \u2013 the cats had covered less than 10 miles and they were already on their way out.<\/p>\n<p>As we\u2019ve described many times, each element of the exhaust system fulfils a different role:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Back boxes: Craft the <strong>TONE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>X pipe: Lifts the <strong>PITCH<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Cat replacements: Raise the <strong>VOLUME<\/strong>\u00a0(and turn your car into rear facing flamethrower)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what was the configuration we opted for?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Novitec back boxes<\/li>\n<li>Capristo X pipe<\/li>\n<li>Capristo OBD Wizard<\/li>\n<li>Capristo valve control system<\/li>\n<li>Custom made decat pipes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This really is the holy grail when it comes to the F12\/812, the Novitec back boxes are absolutely magical. The only things we can really compare the noise to are out-and-out Ferrari race cars\u2026the F50 WISHES it sounded even half as good as this does!<\/p>\n<p>The keen eyed among you may have noticed a rather strange sounding addition to the line-up in the form of the OBD Wizard. This is one of the most important elements of the entire setup, this clever little unit is a tiny box that plugs directly into the OBD port and cancels the Check Engine Light that arises from the replacement of the catalytic converters. The car\u2019s ECU is expecting a certain level of efficiency from the cats\u2026and because they\u2019re not there the ECU finds itself slightly confused \u2013 but this is no issue for the OBD Wizard.<\/p>\n<p>When we discuss this, we always make clear that this doesn\u2019t just cancel the CEL in a blanket sense, it only turns off the light when it pertains to emissions. This way your car\u2019s diagnostics can still operate and alert you to any issues that may arise, but you won\u2019t have a permanent light on because the cats are gone.<\/p>\n<p>The customer also opted to have a few, choice elements from Novitec\u2019s exterior carbon catalogue installed on the car \u2013 namely the rear lip spoiler, front lip spoiler, front intake surrounds and exhaust surrounds. Novitec\u2019s carbon weave matches Ferrari\u2019s OEM pattern perfectly which helps the car to look more like a highly optioned car as opposed to a boy racer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092625-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092615-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, we had also decided to install lowering springs to give the car a stance deserving of it\u2019s soundtrack. These really are one of our most popular modifications, and for good reason! They\u2019re variable rate which means that when you\u2019re driving gently the car feels exactly the same as stock, the comfort is not compromised at all, however under load they stiffen up and prevent body roll in corners or pitching of the nose under braking or acceleration. Couple this with the fact that it allows the car to be lowered significantly and you\u2019re on to a winner!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092603-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_20190830_092552-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the carbon &amp; springs installed and the exhaust in place it was time to hear the car in action, we had made sure to take a video of the car revving with the stock system installed and then place the car in exactly the same place to test the full decat system\u2026words simply don\u2019t do it justice.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at the video below and hear it for yourself\u2026<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e7w4R_a1Krw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen title=\"LOWERED 812 Superfast with Novitec STRAIGHT PIPE exhaust &amp; carbon\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking to learn more about the 812 and Novitec&#8217;s options?
