Fixing My GTC4Lusso V12 Sound! The NOVITEC Solution | WHERE'S SHMEE Part 3

The upgrade my Ferrari GTC4Lusso needed! A compulsory stop on the Where's Shmee Eurotour, to visit Novitec for the installation of a Switchtronic to unleash the natural sound of the V12, before we head onwards for a blast on the Autobahn to Motorworld Munich!
After a long journey from Belgium to Germany in some pretty horrific weather, we're making a checkpoint at Novitec who are well known for the full N-Largo packages and exhausts. However, one upgrade I've been very keen to replicate from my previous V12 Lusso, is to install the Novitec Switchtronic that comes with a switch to offer control of the exhaust valves.
Of course, another option would be a full exhaust system however in the case of this car it's very much a comfortable GT and daily cruiser so I'm not keen to make it very loud - there are other cars in the garage for that, like the Huracan STO! The Switchtronic is the perfect balance giving the sharpness of the sound that you already get with the stock hardware, but allowed it to carry through at lower revs when you want to.
After the work is complete, we're straight onto the Autobahn for the onward leg towards Munich, and what a drive it is with the V12 screaming away on the derestricted sections. However, we also make a small detour for a flying visit to Motorworld, were the display is incredible. Having only recently opened, it's home to McLaren Munich and Bugatti Munich amongst others; so try 5 McLaren hypercars, 8 Bugatti hypercars, and even a Reventon out for size!
Thanks for watching, Tim

I like the Shmee tour, as it unfolds. enjoying it, Tim. Carry on.

[@oldpetyt2289]

Ferrari's 6.3 l v12 is always have been one of my favorite engines that were ever made, and it sounds incredible with the novitec exhaust.

[@Tica-boo]

At first I was thinking I didn't like Shmee, but then I realized I was just jealous. I want to be in Germany in crappy weather taking my Ferrari in because it was filthy from driving it on the autobahn. Oh, and my Lamborghini just happens to be there as well. I gotta get out of my dreams and into his cars! At least you're sharing the trip.

[@rustler08]

If your car has a valved-exhaust, you can go into the fuse box and see if it has a fuse for the system operation. If it does, which many should, you can actually wire in a switch yourself for very little money. Any on-off switch will work; meaning you can have a foot-operated one on the dead-pedal, you could put a switch that's easy to access, or you can wire it up with a wireless receiver like you see in this video. I have mine as an on-off switch near the bottom of the dash, allowing me to easily switch the valve open when I want it to be a little more brash and close it when cruising on the highway.

[@Shmee150]

You could do all of that or just pop into a workshop for 1.5 hours and magic!

[@dustgr]

Or you can just have money and pay someone to do it for you

[@quitethesnapper]

Nice work. I have a Lusso as well. I did race cats, x pipe and rear valved boxes. Completely transformed the car. Love the channel. All the best.

[@Shmee150]

Goodness that must be aggressive!

[@quitethesnapper]

@Shmee150 everytime I start it, I think of you in the Novitec GTC4Lusso video saying "we're outdoors!" Hahahaha. Yes it is aggressive and a touch angry with pretty violent downshifts. I absolutely love it. Extremely quiet with the valves closed, however.

One of the best sounding exhausts I’ve ever heard in my life The notes it makes is absolutely BEAUTIFUL

I can tell you it's pretty epic!

Awesome sound, can't complain on that STO flyby too, really cool

[@vukanimemela3772]

Something about your spec on the STO :-) that thing is "Drop dead gorgeous" with that insane Lambo V10 Sound... Eyohh!!! If you didn't like it, it grows on you... and it actually makes sense in having it your the collection.

Novetic is like a must for a V12 makes it soo lively

[@Shmee150]

For sure

[@Kronos0999]

I heard that Ferrari doesn't touch Novitec-ed out cars. I had a friend who put on a Novitec exhaust on the 812 and had nothing but problems after that. I don't know, I don't own any supercars. They sure sound good.

[@svgaming2716]

[@Kronos0999]

@@benrutherford5544 Yeah, that's the point. If you genuinely own a ferrari, do some research before swapping the exhausts. I hear they're badly made and ruin the car, but this is just from one person.

The dirtynes of the GTC4 lusso reminds me of your adventure with the FF good old days

[@Shmee150]

I remember how dirty that got too

[@kireijapan]

So satisfying watching the passenger display

[@007knick]

The ability for the GTC to be such a good long distance cruiser and be a snarling Ferrari is amazing. It is very close to the ultimate GT car.

All I get from watching this video Tim, is that you need an 812 Superfast added to your collection, STAT!

The more time you spend with the Lusso the more im falling for it , dare i say would rather have it than the lambo! Great vid guys stay safe out there & keep up the great work!👍

I fell in love with the lusso since it came out, it seems a nice daily but that engine makes thermal reason

My 612 has none of the sound proofing that the LUSSO has. The thought of installing a switch to make it louder, especially when it is fitted with the factory fitted sports exhaust, would be insane!!

[@thomashrubecky1663]

Oh man; I saw that Carrera slot car venue next to the Lambo and said “go see the slot cars” several times… out loud (so I’m told!). Remind me, does your miniature collection include slot cars or are they all die cast models? I love your desire to have your models painted in the same colours as your real-life cars. And, as always, awesome channel; keep up the fabulous work!!
