The best Maserati exhaust depends on your model and preferences. For the Ghibli and Levante V6, Capristo valve exhaust is the gold standard — it preserves the refined Italian character in quiet mode and unleashes a stunning V6 snarl in sport mode. iPE (Innotech Performance Exhaust) offers similar valve functionality with an aggressive tone profile. Novitec exhaust systems are engineered specifically for Maserati platforms with excellent fitment and sound. For the Quattroporte and GranTurismo V8, Tubi Style and Larini systems deliver that signature Ferrari-derived V8 sound. The MC20 Nettuno engine sounds extraordinary with a Capristo or Novitec system.

Most modern Maserati models use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. The Ghibli fits 20x8.5 front and 20x10.5 rear for a proper staggered setup, or 21-inch for a more aggressive stance. The Quattroporte runs similar sizes with slightly different offsets. The Levante fits 21 to 22-inch wheels with proper load ratings for SUV duty. The GranTurismo and MC20 use staggered setups with significantly wider rear wheels. We carry forged options from HRE, Vossen Forged, ADV.1, and Forgiato that are engineered for the loads and performance requirements of Maserati vehicles. Every install includes mounting, balancing, and TPMS programming.

The MC20 is Maserati's flagship supercar and a spectacular platform for tasteful upgrades. Exhaust systems from Capristo and Novitec unlock the full voice of the Nettuno twin-turbo V6 — these systems are specifically engineered for the MC20's mid-engine layout. Forged wheels from HRE and ADV.1 in lightweight designs that reduce unsprung weight. Full-body PPF is strongly recommended to protect the MC20's paint during spirited driving. Ceramic coating adds long-term protection and gloss. Interior carbon fiber upgrades and custom leather options are also available. Every MC20 modification is performed with supercar-level precision.

The Ghibli uses a twin-turbo V6 engine while the GranTurismo (previous generation) featured a naturally aspirated Ferrari-derived V8. This means different exhaust configurations, different sound profiles, and different performance characteristics. The Ghibli's V6 responds well to turbo-back exhaust work with noticeable power gains. The GranTurismo V8 is all about the naturally aspirated sound — exhaust upgrades focus on unleashing that Ferrari V8 wail. Wheel fitments differ slightly between the two. The new GranTurismo (2023+) uses the Nettuno twin-turbo V6, bringing it closer to the MC20 in terms of modification options. We have experience with both platforms.

Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your entire warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. However, if a modification directly causes a failure, Maserati can deny that specific warranty claim. Exhaust systems, wheels, window tint, PPF, and ceramic coating rarely cause warranty issues when installed properly. Maserati's warranty terms are more conservative than some brands, so we recommend keeping documentation of all modifications and using reputable brands like Capristo, Novitec, and HRE that are well-known in the Maserati community. We install everything to proper specifications to minimize any risk.

Maserati's Ferrari-derived engines (the V8 in the GranTurismo and Quattroporte, and the Nettuno V6 in the MC20) are sophisticated powerplants that benefit from proper care. When we install exhaust upgrades or perform any work near these engines, we follow manufacturer procedures and torque specifications. The twin-turbo V6 in the Ghibli, Levante, and Grecale is a Maserati-designed engine that is robust and well-suited to modifications. We use quality parts from brands that specifically engineer their products for these engines — Capristo, iPE, and Novitec all test extensively on Maserati platforms.

Most individual modifications are completed same day or within two days. A cat-back exhaust install takes 3 to 5 hours depending on the system and model. A wheel and tire swap with TPMS programming takes 1 to 2 hours. PPF full-front installation takes 1 to 2 days depending on coverage. Ceramic coating requires 1 to 3 days including paint correction, application, and curing. Audio upgrades vary from 2 hours for a speaker swap to a full day for a complete system overhaul. Window tint takes 2 to 4 hours. MC20 work may require additional time due to mid-engine access. Call 913-291-2027 to schedule.
