Maranello has outdone itself once again. The Ferrari 458 Italia is arguably one of the most impressive road-going cars ever designed. With its lightweight construction, technical innovations, and 570 horsepower, 4.5 liter engine spinning up to 9,000 rpm, it is a driving experience that cannot be easily forgotten.

To further add to the excitement of this car Akrapovič has designed a completely new aftermarket muffler exhaust system crafted entirely of titanium.* Incorporating dual mode exhaust valves, our triple exit system allows for a subdued sound at low rpm (though crisper than stock). However, at higher rpm it fully unleashes the incredible sound of the F1-inspired, high-revving V8. Also included is a new carbon fiber/titanium exhaust tail pipe set. Subtle and understated, the new tail pipe set makes it clear that this is not a standard car. Additionally, we offer optional, lightweight, high-flow catalyst/link pipes. Used in conjunction with the muffler system the sound is even more aggressive, similar to the 458 Challenge Car.
The 458 is no stranger to performance. Nevertheless, we have been able to extract further horsepower from this jewel of an engine. With the EC Type approval Slip-On system installed a gain of 9 horsepower and 22 Nm of torque is gained. If the high-flow catalysts are added a total of 11 horsepower and 26 Nm of torque are found.
On a car of this design, weight savings are incredibly difficult to achieve. Remarkably, we were able to shave 8 kilograms from the stock system. If both the muffler system and high-flow catalyst are utilized an amazing reduction of 14 kilograms is accomplished! These weight savings, coupled with the added power and enhanced sound our system offers, makes a marvelous car truly unforgettable.
