Ferrari 488 GTB Gets Capristo Exhaust, Dismisses Turbo Soundtrack Fears

Sure, Maranello has provided all the info along with the supercar, but nothing compares to the real-world answers we get when the car steps onto the street.

One of the most important aspects of this kind has to do with the soundtrack of the forced induction V8 at the center of the 488. It's no secret that many people forgot about the Prancing Horse's manic F40, fearing that the new-age turbo cars wouldn't be... Ferrari enough, with the aural side obviously playing a key role here.

We can now show you what may be the first 488 GTB fitted with a custom exhaust, and we have to admit this machine has quite some answers for us.

Sure, having a custom exhaust might raise questions about the standard hardware, but we're here to tell you this is one of those cases where the aftermarket system only amplifies the natural voice of the car.

We're talking about a 488 being driven in Los Angeles, with the supercar using a Capristo exhaust system.

However, you should wait for (or skip to) the 0:44 mark when looking for the V8 concert, since the audio before that moment is missing.

"Unfortunately, I had to mute the audio between 0:04-0:43 due to Ben [the owner of the car being driven with the windows down] blasting some Led Zeppelin. But oh well. Just skip to 0:43 so you can hear the new exhaust!" the uploader of the clip explains on YouTube.

The owner seems to be the kind of supercar owner who prefers to stay on the aftermarket side, since he also fitted a Novitec Rosso suspension to his brand new 488 GTB. But that is of lesser importance for now.
