Can the Novitec Exhaust on the MC20 save the sound? / The Supercar Diaries

The Supercar Diaries / Maserati MC20
Have we been able to better the sound of the MC20s Twin Turbo V6 with our partial Novitec Exhaust? In todays video, we test the sound of the MC20s exhaust combined with a Novitec Race Exhaust Muffler. For those who still want the MC20s exhaust sound to be more supercar-like, don’t worry. We will soon fit a complete Novitec Race Performance Exhaust system with CAT-replacement pipes on the Maserati MC20.

Idk i expected more from a crazy looking car like this, but its definitely better than the factory exhaust

Still sounds like it would be ok as a daily.

The good of this car far outweighs the bad, which can be mostly attributed to minor annoyances handled under warranty. Stunning machine.

Novitec never returned any of my email and calls. How were able to order the Novitec exhaust? I have 2022 MC20

[@benkrapf]

No lie. I like the factory exhaust. The car looks crazy but operates as a GT. That said, Novitec, work yer magic!

[@Theboaby]

Great Video, great message at the end. We don't have to apologize for that what we love. It is the fault of the politicans and a big Carbrand from germany. Long live petrol engines! Maybe it is the right time for change. Hope we get the chance for emotional and heartbeat engines forever maybe with synthetic and clean fuels🙌

[@macaron3141592653]

The pitch of this car is an octave below where it should be. This is also the case with the M3, Guilia, and alot of I3's. This exhaust didn't fix that.

[@dct124]

That noise at 9:00 would drive me insane. Hopefully there's a recall for that, my goodness. It's the equivalent of hearing someone scratch a chalkboard 😬

[@snorrestlen8341]

It sounds like a Giulia Quadrofoglio🤔😏

[@BMBShah]

Exactly.. I commented the same thing …somewhere

[@Quintessence.]

this review is "flawed" to be honest. This car was engineered around the carbon fiber tub to actually become 3 versions: gas-powered car first, then the "Cielo" (Spyder/Spider) convertible version, then the electric model. Is the reviewer suggesting that NOVITEC can or will fix the "flaws" simply by changing the springs and tweaking the exhaust? That seems rather insulting to the engineers who spent many hours refining both the suspension and the exhaust note. Modern cars are complex machines, and the various systems have been painstakingly worked on to get it "just right" from the factory's viewpoint, at least. Some degree of compromise is just part of the nature of mass-producing a vehicle. Do manufacturers leave room for aftermarket tuners (like NOVITEC) to do their thing? Maybe. But can anyone say such modifications are always 100% positive? I think not. Car manufacturers spend tons of money and time to engineer the "best" possible product while acknowledging that compromises are necessary for a variety of reasons.

[@Ytcreator-f7k]

It definitely sounds better

[@Koketso_Gololo]

The sound of this car is soo underwhelming 😭😭

[@eylonemuskson4177]

Yup. :( needs a Busso V6

[@alvisescarpa7089]

Hear Josefin Garage version

[@LongTran-tt3nh]

Is this sound still small? v6 sound must be like Ferrari 296 gtb

[@jortepap]

The Maserati can't sound like that because Ferrari engineered the V6 to sound like it does. Not only does the 296 have equal length exhaust manifolds but the engine also has a different firing order. NO exhaust will make it sound like the 296.

[@LongTran-tt3nh]

@@jortepap The Ferrari V6 at 120 degrees of inclination sounds much better than the mc2 v6. Sorting order is quite similar to v12 Ferrari

[@DJJumpdancer]

A Golf 5 R32 sounds better

[@Vision20005]

The 296 imo really set a new standard for a turbo v6 sound with its v12 tone.

[@DJJumpdancer]

@@jortepap cant you change the fireing order ? headers you can change

[@azizalharthi9631]

That rattling noise at 9:00 would drive me insane. It would make it feel like a cheap city car for me.

[@caleguenther8947]

The sound that everyone wants is achieved when you do 6 into 1 collector headers, equal length made out of titanium...

[@Hyper7Justin]

The maserati nettuno engine is brand new, the engine block is made by GW casting alongside with the Bugatti Chiron block, looks like the Alfa 140 engine but they come from completely different factory and has a much tighter tolerance

[@coreylucas5997]

Sexiness wild performance, exhaust system or not you can only do so much with the sound of less cylinders, Maseratis pull them off well with stock, the alfa Romeo Giulia qudrifolio is crazy sounding as well

[@DJJumpdancer]

7:53 its so tiny :D there's room for a bigger engine at least a V8

[@themaseratiinn5743]

The new grand Turismo is already full electric with 1200hp...New norm!!!

[@DrewBerry1]

Recently looked at a 2019 GranTurismo MC the salesman agreed with me it’s louder than the MC20. I said put this V-8 in the MC20 you got a deal. he agreed 😂

[@paulrussell4361]

I love Maserati, I own a Maserati I almost had to turn this video off because of the sound of this V6…really unfortunate that they couldn’t get this thing sounding as good as it looks

[@eddy_6502]

That’s just an european thing. It’s sad to say but it’s like that. American car sounds superb because they are not born under eu regulations, because of that maserati, ferrari, porsche, audi and more prefer to spend less on the exhaust.

[@richard-markdodds305]

please explain why AMG GT with Turbos and particle filters sounds so great still?

[@janneshildebrandt1]

V8...

[@Murilo-M-Santos]

When we'll see the 296 gtb? I'm pretty sure it'll sound waaaaay better than the mc20

[@DDd-hr6mz]

Far be it from me to judge, because I'll never own a car of this cost or pedigree. But I wouldn't muss one hair on it by changing spring rates or suspension geometry. The car speaks for itself.

[@kinwong1138]

Do NOT get the Novitec exhaust...have had all kinds of problems and codes pop up 1) ETC SERVICE...electronic throttle control service 2) ENGINE SERVICE 3) OBD CODE P1217 popped up Also springs and spacers probably not a perfect fit either since there is RUBBING ISSUES. 0/10 FAIL....and when asked Novitec...takes over a month to reply...and their answer 100% Denial basically telling me the problem is my car...not their products Know that other friends who have issues too with Novitec... Surprising this is Novitecs customer service....guess they focus on Ferrari first then Lambo then McLaren and MASERATI does not matter to them... Unless Novitec fixes this issue I will NEVER buy a Novitec product ever again and when people ask I will have nothing good to say about them
