It's so funny how they all sound "the same", yet have distinctive differences as well.
Yes, very close but small differences. :)
@@normalguysupercar
JOOOOSSHHH !!!! How are you my good man !?!
Agreed! Fact is they all sound fantastic. All better than any turbo v8 exotic
That was a very special day! Whoever owns car #4 is the clear winner in my book! Car #5 is my next fav :-)
I don't know... the guy in #4 was a bit shady....
Yeah, I heard rumors he's on drugs.
@@normalguysupercar haha my energy is 100% passion baby!
What's up with car #4's owner? Is he alright?
Something tells me over time this will be one of your most watched videos.
As the next generation of owners shop for used 458s...this will be watched obsessively I bet
That would be nice. :)
Agreed, if this video doesn’t get over 1 million views... for Christ’s sake, what would Dan need to do have cops and S.W.A.T. be in this video shutting things down and arresting everybody?
@@studog05 don't temp Dan with a good time!😬
They all sound great. However, Car #5 is the clear winner for my personal preference (and ignoring cost). It has the cleanest sound over the entire rpm range, maintains a great balance of baritone and high pitch notes, and belts out a signature banshee wail. Richard is a man of good taste.
After reading my comment, I think I have read too many descriptions of craft beer - LOL
Haha it does read a bit like a beer label
#4 sounds the cleanest IMO, it doesn't have that rasp that #5 and other ones have after a high RPM rev. It's throat has been clear.
Good Reason #4 has very clean sound also.
Dude seriously! I know it was a lot of work to make this video & thank you so much!
You're welcome. Yeah this one was hard to make logistically
It was a lot of fun too haha
Loved that you did this so people can decide what's a good choice for them. I love number 4, so that would be my choice for a 458.
Yeah, I knew I needed to not say my opinions (I have strong ones on this subject) plus not tell people what is what before they know. People have a lot of brand loyalty so it's hard to step out of that.
Perfect! S-Line is the best exhaust. I picked #6 - that’s the ultimate setup. BTW, you’d be surprised how much of a difference the cat pipes make. The difference between iPE and Novitec test pipes were massive for me (Novitec brought out the goosebumps). Fabspeed test pipes sound like they’re the most extreme. Again, fabulous job with this video!
Yeah it's interesting to hear all the subtle differences
Hey, I picked 6 too. Would you say Novitec sounds even better than 6? And would you say that out of this lineup 6 is the closest to Novitec in tone and volume?
@@italianstallion399 Novitec is more refined at the low end (the S-Line has a resonant warble around 2500RPM). At the top end and at full throttle, S-Line is unmatched. However, the Novitec is very close. Yes, both #3 and #6 sound closest to the classic Novitec Rosso exhaust that first brought this high-pitched F1 sound to the 458.
IPE sounds much nore beautiful and more refined.
@@jortepap I had iPE and I don’t agree. I was far happier with both Novitec and S-Line. The difference is clear in person and behind the wheel.
Well planned and executed. My favorites changed pretty much shot to shot, oddly enough. No clear standout, overall. Pretty much all were excellent. The engine is the real winner.
Yeah the engine is epic.
I loved #4... want the three tips, but that sound was the best to my ears 👌
You can get 2 or 3 tips with most of these exhausts
Probably one of the best and most complete video about 458 exhausts comparison of all times.. Amazing video for Ferrari fans !!!
Thank you!
Excellent video!
5= best sound
4= runner up
6= best track day/actual race car (Formula 1) sound
(Comments were prior to listening to what each exhaust actual was!)
Thanks for doing that!
Thanks!
#4 for me. #6 was loud but sounded loose.
Loose is an interesting way to describe it
Funny but not totally surprised that my initial favorite was #1... at least from the first sound comparison from standing still behind. I think Ferrari really nailed it, just need those valves open. But my number one pick by a small edge was #4. As a future 458 owner, this was an extremely valuable video! Thanks
You're welcome!
That was a tough call, they were all great, but landed on 3 and 6 before knowing what they were. Although 6 ALMOST had too much burbling. Never thought I’d say that, but sounded almost Lambo like. Regardless, this is an excellent video. Can’t tell you how much exhaust video surfing we all end up doing when trying to find the best exhaust for our rides. There should be a video like this for every sports car (even possibly trucks). Thanks for putting this together!
That’s funny, just found out which was which, and I guess 3 and 6 are the same which makes sense!
Yeah they are basically the same. Good ears. Lol
I liked 3,5 & 6 if I had to choose I would go for 6 but they all sounded great. Congratulations Dan on a really interesting video.
Thank you
These did it for me as well, especially 5 & 6.
5 for sure but, I had to watch this 3 times, 1 time on good headphones, and 2 times on my home theater. Yours and number 6 tie for second for me due to the sheer volume where his sounds unhinged yours sounds refined. Thanks so much for this video wish Akropovic and Novitec could be in the comparison but that Kline is exceptional 🤙🏽
Yeah I wish I had capristo, novitec, and akropovic as well but I didn't know anyone in the area with them
@@normalguysupercar oh almost forgot about Capristo, Maybe a few other 458 guys will see this and reach out. I'm still saving so maybe a year or 2 I'll be that guy 😅
@@greatwhiteevox1008 I'm saving up to buy #5 now. 😁
@@JustinTipton outstanding, hope you snag one! I had Akropovic on my Evo X so I've just had brand loyalty due to it looking new and blue after 100k miles
What an EPIC shootout! Your car (car 3 ) just has that savage F1 sound, got to be our favorite, but we may be biased 😁.
Haha I have no idea why you'd be biased. 6 has Fabspeed headers and cat deletes. 😁👍
I just ordered y'all's headers and cat delete for my 360 I can't wait to get them.
6 IS LOVELY.
Car #6 sounds just plain nasty AF. It sounded possessed with the horns of Hades blaring. Very enjoyable and really cool to get so many different exhausts on the same engines and compare.
Thank you
Really like both 3 and 6 throaty with F1 high notes and good balance.
Me too. :)
#4 for best all around, #3 & 6 for more raw race-like sound on full throttle and downshift.
I'll take that as a win
Lol
Amazing video Dan. Man I can't pick between cars 4 and 5. Smooth and clean tone on both.
Yeah they are very close, less so in person but on video damn near identical.
#5 gets my vote - right balance of low grumble and high pitched scream w/o being irritating or painfully loud.
Indeed
In person, it’s not as close as it seems through headphones/speakers on UA-cam. #3, and especially #6, are the clear epic F1 screamers. I’ve had iPE, Novitec, some Fabspeed, and S-Line. S-Line is the most extreme and most thrilling and most awe-inspiring (based on anecdotal reactions from onlookers). It’s super obvious in person. Decibel levels are logarithmic; going up 4-5dB is very noticeable.
In person you can hear more differences. Unfortunately there's only so much the mic can pick up. The bassy baritone sounds that you can feel in your chest are completely lost in video sadly.
@@normalguysupercar You did an amazing job given the physics constraints! Thanks to you and your group for going through the effort. 👍🏾
6 gets my vote. 4&5 were very similar. I was surprised to hear yours and 6 had a very similar setup. They sound very different.
Yup, shows you just how much small differences can make on these exhausts.
The distortion destroys the og sound and soul of the 458. Tasteless mf in these comments
Best 458 Video EVER! I picked Car 3 and Car 4.
S-Line and IPE
Numbers 4 and 6. Thanks for the comparison video.
You're welcome
Top three: 1st #6, 2nd #5, 3rd #4
Nice
Thanks for this video and your other one on how to bypass the idle and low RPM exhaust valve vacuum lines. Just finished that on our 458. Very well done.
Glad it helped
Love your setup from the first clip start up! Love sound no 3 !
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks so much for the vid ! Really well made. For me it's a no brainer, the stock is the one. If it would be possible to just make it louder it would be the best. I really don't like any aftermarket high pitch exhaust on pretty much any Ferrari
The straight pipes sound very similar to stock just louder
@@normalguysupercar yea I saw that, really cool ! So that's basically muffler delete?
@@filiprangus5826 correct
Im honestly leaning toward 4, 5, or 6. Its such a tough choice!!!😖😖🔥🔥
Yeah they all sound great
Car 6 for the win. Nice video.
Thanks
Number three was my favorite... exceptional video. Thank you for taking the time to share.
the two s-lines you're care and #6. Great comparison...
Thanks!
I picked the IPE, think that was the highest pitch, all sound glorious anyway!
In person I think it may be the highest pitch. I need to try and measure that
@@normalguysupercar After driving Loepers 458 and sitting passenger and if money wasn't in the equation, would you still pick your setup or Loepers? I'm debating between yours, loepers or #6 for my setup but idk if I could live with #6 without valves.
@@goodreason6462 I like all of them but like mine a lot. If money were no object I'd get the kline though.
@@normalguysupercar Do you know if #6 had a burble/crackle tune? Because theres this weird noise Idk what that is after he lets off of the pedal. Does it sound different in person? Also I saw in the comments you said IPE was the highest pitch how does #6 or your car rank in terms of high pitch?
@@goodreason6462 I belive 6 had some crackle tune. All of the cars were tuned by Exotic Power and Performance but 6 may have had it more aggressive. 6 is still high pitch for sure.
I like car #6 the most. It seems the loudest and most aggressive which is what I like. But they ALL sound good to me. I could be happy with any of them even the stock car #1. Cool Video Dan.
6 was certainly the loudest. LOL!
no 6 was like a formula 1 car and the down shifts pops and bangs sold ot for me i love this car my fav naturally aspirated v8 ever made hands down there will never be another like the 458 specially
Yes indeed
Car 3 was my favorite, but 5 sounded the cleanest wow.! All amazing
Thanks
All sound so good. I really liked the IPE the most but Dan's was a close second.
I'll take that
can't decide between 3 & 4. thx Dan, amazing video!
I don't think there's a wrong answer. :)
Car 6 at 17:56 sonds like an F1 Car, but all cars have an amazing sound.
Indeed
didn't care for 6 until @17:56. then jesus...
@@shnatkosame
100% car 3 for me, sounds awesome!
Yay!
Loved the video! For me it's number 5. Could do with a tiny bit less tin can raspiness but that's about it.
Nice
i like 6 the best but stock sounds good enough, wont want a car too loud.
6 is very loud, but it's epic.
#4 gets my vote
IPE
Car #4 followed by car #3. Awesome video!
Thank you
They all sound awesome. But we can’t forget that one is stock....and still sounds amazing. So it’s a definitely an owner’s preference situation, and there are no bad choices!
Couldn't agree more!
5 and 6 my favorites
Tough decision, I will have to see the video a couple of times to decide. Great video!
Thanks!
6 but they all sound good.
Agreed.
Even the companies making these exhausts don’t do recordings like this, well done! 👍
458 has a great sounding engine, only a bit of nostalgia hits me: when shifting a manual you have this slight pause and then the palpable struggle of regaining momentum. Of course the shifting in modern cars is seamless and those subtleties are lost.
True
Really great comparison! I appreciated your consistent approach to capturing sound in different circumstances. Thanks for the effort, this was fun to watch.
You're welcome
What a great vid! So hard to compare exhausts from video to video because always different equipment, conditions, etc. So great to see them all tested the exact same. Wish they had this for many other cars. To be honest, they all sound amazing at full song, but 3 and 6 made the most impression on me when I was listening to the first round. I feel like 3 has the most F1 kind of sound which is what I would personally prefer. A little too much burble tune on #6. You did well!
Thank you! They do all sound great for sure
Holy crap with headphones 3 made my jaw drop that gets my vote. Close second place was 6 imo
Haha thanks
Thanks for the Saturday content! Number 2 did it for me.
You're welcome
They all sounds really great. I’m really curious how top speed exhaust would sound on the 458. I have their titanium exhaust on my 360 and absolutely love it. Number 5 the kline exhaust is amazing though.
Yeah I'd be curious too
2 and 4 are very similar. Loepers is my favorite. Just has a clean smooth sound to it.
2 & 4? I would say 1 & 2 are similar... 4 is closer to 5.
My favorite? Car 1
Honestly, all of them sound nice.
I think so.
Loeper for the WIN!
Lol
Awesome video. Had my volume @ 11.😁👍
Haha hope your ears aren't bleeding
@@normalguysupercar best way to go deaf
Car #6 is simply epic. What a sound.
Yup
One word...... EPIC!
Thank you
Listened with high quality earphones, I'd say 6 a clear winner, followed by 4 and 3. PS: I answered before getting to end of the video, sound like I got good ears ;)
Yeah headphones are the best on this video
@@normalguysupercar your car is just missing the burps and crackles while revving down, and a few decibels. #6 is astonishing, seriously.
Some sound better at different points than others but the loudest ones are what I like. Honestly don't notice too much difference between the sound of each of them
There's a big difference between the x-pipe exhausts (3-6) and the factory / straight pipe (1 & 2). But then it gets tough to tell
my fave was def 4 or 6
OK I have to say 6 after the little quick rerun
6 is pretty evil sounding. 😁
I couldn't be present on the live, but here im ready to watch :)
Thanks
I need to watch this again sitting in my comfy chair and speakers on loud blast whilst sipping Barrel Bomb 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon.
@@studog05 agree
@@normalguysupercar Dan, i love all the sounds, but Noisy F1 was allways my favourit, but now yours is in the 1st place togheter, those headers just changed the pitch in such a way that does that amazing F1 sound. But i like that burble from number 6 too. So
The way to hear Cars properly is to hear them in person driving by revving out through the gears. Nothing else comes close.
458 sound fantastic in person
Yes indeed
They all sound great but my fave is the full Kline system.
Yup
I actually preferred #2 and was really shocked to hear you say that one was straight piped 😮 I would have bet my left nut #6 was the straight piped car (& way too obnoxious). Good test though👍
To be fair 2 still had cats vs 6 did not. The cats make a huge difference
They all sound great and thank you for this video. The whole time I was liking 3 & 6. Great choices!
I agree
Dan, I enjoy watching the videos of your Ferrari 458. I just recently joined your channel. I think it's awesome that you have a passion for Ferrari's. Ferrari's are very sweet cars. The car that I've always have been wanted since being a kid is the Porsche 911. I like the looks and the history of the Porsche 911's throughout their history.
The 911s have certainly earned their place in history as an amazing car. Thanks!
@@normalguysupercar Thank you there. Your welcome there.
Going to have to go with 6.
It's pretty badass
#4 FTW!
Solid
3 for the rev, 3 or 6 for the takeoff, undecided for the back cam, car 5 on the interior, 5 or 6 for the flyby, but no matter what, I want the exhaust tips from 4 and the wheels from 2 or 4. I figure since as the owner/driver you'll be listening to it from the inside 99% of the time, I'd go with 5 or maybe 3 overall, since that was pretty good on the interior, too.
If I were building something custom, I'd do inconel tri-y headers into high flow cats into an increasing diameter y-pipe, into a valved single-turn turbo style case muffler, and exit into a big stainless oval shaped NASCAR style boom tube thing to really fill out that exhaust cutout in the bumper. Either that, or an inconel sequentially-fired 8-into-1 direct into the same valved muffler and boom tube exit, but with no cats since they don't make decent high flows in the diameter needed for a single collector on something that flows as much air as a 458 motor.
Yes indeed
Damn....great show guys......
Dan, Loeper & Richard got it going on....out of you 3, i like Loepers IPE !!! If we're talking $$, i would go with Dan presuming its the least costly, IPE then Richards Incanel.....
If money was no object, I'd still go with Loepers IPE only because in the install video, you literally can hear the engine "breathing"...... great video Dan
Thanks! It's really splitting hairs with the sound. Each has a slightly different tone/sound and has unique characteristics. It's pretty cool how metal type, where the X-pipe is, and other small design factors can have such unique differences.
They all sound good, Richard Car 5 has my vote.
The Kline sounds impressive
All are great sounding. My choice: #1.
All are pretty awesome
6 by farrr. they are all absolutely amazinggg
Yup
I can't believe I actually like Richards exhaust the most. But really can't go wrong with any of them.
Yeah they all sound good
I like 3-6 the best, 4 being my favorite. The reason is that they sound the closest to (imo) the best sounding v8 ferrari. The ferrari 355 with a capristo exhaust or f355 challenge.
Indeed
car 4 for me... the most refined, smooth and deep sound.. vicious but refined... the last 2 were abit over the top for street use
5 was pretty darn close to 4 in terms of loudness
3 or 4 sounds best imo. 6 sounds like it’s a straight pipe. Just a guess. Thanks for the video. You spent a lot of time doing this.
Thanks!
From the exterior I do prefer the 4 and 6 (6 being the excessive choice).
But from the interior the 3 sounds better than the 4 ! I wasn’t expecting that
Fair enough!
Number 5. Great video.
Wow!😳 Richards won me over! Sounds amazing 🤩
It's really good. They all sound incredible in person. :)
@@normalguysupercar oh don’t get me wrong they all sound wonderful
Novitec FTW for sure, none better. Great idea to do this.
Eh, I think Novitec is great, but it's not the end-all-be-all everyone thinks. Just because they are the most expensive doesn't make them the best.
@@normalguysupercar the reason they are the best doesn’t have to do with price. There is a certain pitch that only Novitec hits, nothing like it IMO. Can tell the difference, especially in person. Nothing like full Novitec headers back.
So far BEST SOUND COMPARISON EVER. Good job normal guy, I can keep to watch your video as a music playlist all day long 🤤 ps: maybe is excessive but if I have a 458 I would go for number 6.. or your if I want a valved compromise.. I would pay to hear that music live, but sadly I’m between Italy and Switzerland 🥲
Thank you!
Dan- can you add polls on UA-cam comments? Would be cool to see what everyone chooses, tallied up. Edit- If not, maybe put one on your Twitter or IG and send people over there
Yeah I should. Not sure I can
NUMBER 6!!!😍🥰🤩🥳🎉 I’m thinking its a Kreissieg, Meisterschaft, S-line, or MS Racing👀
Ohh just finished watching!! Wow. U gotta remove the valves👍😅🏁
Haha I enjoy my valves
Hey man... I love my ipe like Loepar’s but I have to admit yours sounded great man. It’s a shame because people have to hear these in the flesh to really appreciate them for their own individuality..
I’m still picking my ipe man lol but i seriously the sline set up with fab headers is amazing. My brother also has a 458 (spider) I’ll convince him to get yours lol
Honestly, in person they all sound so good I don't know that I can say buy this over that... There is no wrong answer. LOL! But, yeah, I'm really pleased with my exhaust. :)
@@normalguysupercar if ipe didn’t offer titanium I would have got your set up 100%
Car 6 is my favorite
Indeed
Everything was shot the same and with all things remaining the same, it was a fair comparison. For cars that were valved, it would have been cool to see and hear accelerating sounds with valves closed so we can hear valves open past 4K RPM. My NFL jersey number is 5 and I also have a Kline exhaust (not to say I’m biased a little maybe). Controlled fury one might say. I did like 6 also, yet I’ve been the “loud car” and taken grief for it hence my exhaust change. Next video has GOT to be night moves with fireball exhausts exploding into the night.
Yeah a night video would be cool just because fire is cool. Lol
Very well done and creative video
Thank you
Car #3 and Car #6 are my favorites 🏎🏎
Hey Dan!
Put a vote up!
Let your viewers vote on the best sounding car 😉
For me it works out like this:
1st place - The Looper on Car 4 with the most accurate F1 sound.
And Dan, I've got to be honest with you, as an European used to go and see live Rallys, your "Normal Guy Super Ferrrari" sound exactly like a rally stage WRC car.
All cars sound amazing, you'd defiantly not mind having anyone of them.
Keep it coming.
🥳
Thank you! I'm a fan of my exhaust
I have to go with #5 and a close, almost tie, with #3
Kline and S-Line/Fabspeed.
@@normalguysupercar great vid. I was really surprised when you said 3 and 6 were essentially the same.
@@dinolozano6082 yup... Crazy how much it changes just adding valves, not even closing them.
I know its not directly related but Im watching so I can decide on what I will put on my 360.
What a great vid!!... For me it was a toss up between 5&6. If there was a big price difference that might be the deciding factor. Thanks for doing this. Im sure it took a lot to get all the cars together ... but we’ll worth it!
5 & 6 are pretty similar in price.
I may be biased but I like car #3
I'm certainly biased and love mine the most but, I can fully admit the others sound incredible too
Really liked car 3 and 4. Great job and thanks for putting this on for us.
You're welcome
top to bottom 4, 6, 3, 5,1,2
Good order.
