Our good friend Jim pulled up to the shop a few weeks back in his new Ferrari 458, he’s not your typical Ferrari owner however who lets the car sit and collect dust in an air conditioned garage. Jim makes sure all of his cars get used properly and takes great pride in modifying them to put his own personal touch on them. The car arrived already sporting plenty of carbon Oakley Design parts, but was lacking a front lip. We installed the Vorsteiner carbon fiber lower lip which features a center vent that really sets off the 458 from the front. The part fit great right out of the box and required little modification to bolt on. An Akrapovic full Titanium exhaust with carbon fiber tips was chosen to give the already menacing looking car an entoxicating tone and help the engine breath easy. Evolution Motorsports provided us with an ECU re flash to help make sure the car made use of all the extra exhaust flow provided by the Akrapovic exhaust. The car was also lowered on HRE P45S wheels treated to a one of a kind brush tinted bronze finish. It’s truly a unique looking finish in person and goes quite well with the jet black exterior. I’m sure we’ll be seeing this car again, if the extra dirt in the photos shows anything, it’s that Jim will be sure to enjoy this unique 458 and we’ll be seeing plenty of it around town!

The Akrapovic R8 Titanium Slip-on system retains the primary catalysts, but removes the secondary ones. The system boasts gains of 11 HP/6800 RPM and 12 TQ/5000 RPM with no ECU reprogramming necessary, and a weight savings of 36 LBS.

The Nissan GT-R is one of the fastest “EC Type approval” cars to race on Germany’s famous Nürburgring “Nordschleife” (Northern Loop). To enhance this already impressive performance, Akrapovic has come up with two exhaust systems; the Evolution and Slip-On exhaust systems. These systems are made entirely of titanium. Not only does that increase the power output, but it also significantly reduces the weight. The attention to detail can be seen in every component. Even the exhaust tail pipes were designed to resemble the trademark GT-R tail lights. Click the links for more info on each individual system.
