DELIVERING MORE POWER WITH ENHANCED ACOUSTICS — Z-PIPE BY FORMULA Z
The Ferrari 458 Specific Z-Pipe by Formula Z Performance is the perfect complement to the last great naturally aspirated V8 from Ferrari — a direct-fit, patent-pending crossover that will have that flat-plane V8 singing its glorious song all the way to the 9,000 RPM factory redline. Originally developed in 2017 and continuously refined, the Z-Pipe maintains a consistent, unrestricted exhaust pathway without reducing cross-sectional area, promoting smooth, high-velocity gas flow and increasing exhaust scavenging.
Each Z-Pipe is precisely crafted from high-quality 316L stainless steel using advanced Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technologies, ensuring unmatched accuracy and durability — internal geometry that cannot be fabricated from mandrel-bent tube. The Z-Pipe sits completely downstream of all emissions components for a simple install with no tuning required, and its exceptionally compact design fits perfectly behind the transaxle layout.
FEATURES
- Enhanced throttle response all the way to the 9,000 RPM factory redline
- Increased scavenging effect provides a bump in volumetric efficiency — more HP
- Completely downstream of all emissions components — simple install, no tuning required
- Truly balanced flow between exhaust banks
- Refined, clean, exotic exhaust tone
- Exceptionally compact, fitting perfectly behind the transaxle layout
FITMENT
- Fits: Ferrari 458 Italia and Spider ONLY
- Install position: downstream of all emissions components
