The Ferrari V12: the greatest naturally aspirated engine in the world

The naturally aspirated V12 in your F12 Berlinetta is the noblest thing the car world has to offer: the direct heir to Maranello's racing V12s, revving to stratospheric heights, with mechanical refinement that has no equal. Every example is a piece of history on the road. The factory exhaust is beautifully made, but it favours discretion: the V12 has an upper register it never delivers.

The Rog exhaust unlocks that register: the highest harmonics are freed, the presence becomes total, and the valves give you back grand touring discretion on demand. On a Ferrari V12, it is the ultimate refinement.

What makes up the exhaust on your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12

An exhaust system is best understood in two parts. Here is what each one does, and what Rog replaces.

How the exhaust system is laid out From left to right: the engine, the front section, then the Rog cat-back with its valved silencer and tips.Front sectionRog cat-back: the complete exhaustEngine
Valves closed: the gases pass through the silencer chambers and the car stays composed.Valves open: the gases take the direct route and the engine speaks freely.Schematic only; the actual routing depends on the vehicle.

The cat-back is the complete exhaust system

It is everything you can see under your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12, from the outlet of the front section to the tips: pipes, silencer, valves. This is where our research and development is focused, and it is what shapes the sound. On its own, it changes the character of the car.

The front section, where the catalytic converter sits

On your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12, it is the front pipes, just after the manifolds. They contain the factory catalytic converter: the second restriction in the exhaust, after the silencer. Replacing this part is optional: it frees up the flow, and an ECU remap is what turns that into power.

Your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12 in figures

On a modern car, an exhaust system first changes the voice, the breathing and the weight at the rear. Power, on the other hand, comes from an ECU remap.

Power

Factory740 hp
Stage 2814 hp

Torque

Factory690 Nm
Stage 2767 Nm

Published manufacturer and Stage 2 figures.

Our exhaust systems work perfectly with or without an ECU remap. On your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12, however, we recommend having it done at an approved tuning centre: it is what lets the engine reach its full potential.

Let's be honest: on a naturally aspirated V12, the measurable gains from an exhaust remain modest, and anyone who promises you otherwise is lying. What changes is the breathing, the response and, above all, a dimension of sound the factory car never delivers. On a Ferrari V12, that is exactly what you are after.

Configuring your exhaust, step by step

3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.

  1. Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium

    Titanium costs more than stainless steel; the price of each version is shown on the product page, in your currency.

    304 stainless steel

    Weight
    Baseline
    Sound
    Full and rounded

    The benchmark for high-end exhausts: tough, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The choice of most of our customers.

    Titanium

    Weight
    Around 40% lighter
    Sound
    Metallic, crystal-clear

    Around 40% lighter than stainless steel for the same design, with a more metallic sound that turns crystal-clear at high revs. Its finish ranges from brushed to blued tints.

    Over time, both hold up: 304 stainless steel stands up to winter salt and damp, and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.

  2. Step 2 of 3: Front section: front pipes and catalytic converter

    Optional: the front pipes on your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12, with their catalytic converter. Sound intensity is rated on our scale of 0 to 10, valves open; the factory exhaust scores 3.

    Cat-back only

    Included

    7/10

    Factory emissions control

    The factory catalytic converter stays in place. The starting point and, for many of our customers, more than enough.

    200-cell sports catalytic converter

    8/10

    Road use and inspection

    Emissions control is still very much there, and flow improves noticeably. The choice for everyday driving.

    100-cell sports catalytic converter

    9/10

    Inspection: depends on local rules

    Half as many cells: flow comes close to a decat and the sound gains real aggression at high revs.

    Decat

    10/10

    Track use

    No emissions control: maximum flow, raw sound, the sharpest revving.

    Sound intensity, on a scale of 0 to 10

    1. 10/10Decat front pipes + Rog cat-back
    2. 9/10100-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
    3. 8/10200-cell sports catalytic converter + Rog cat-back
    4. 7/10Rog cat-back only, factory catalytic converter retained
    5. 3/10Factory exhaust, for comparison

    Valves open. With the valves closed, every configuration becomes discreet again.

    What about the engine warning light? With a sports cat, it can come on with some engines: the sensor placed after the catalytic converter measures a different level of emissions control from the original. It is not a mechanical failure, but a warning light should never be masked or cleared without dealing with its cause: the right answer is a catalytic converter suited to the engine, with a map by a tuner who takes it into account. The decat version, for track use only, almost always triggers it. If this happens to you, write to us and we will point you in the right direction. Passing vehicle inspection with a sports exhaust.

  3. Step 3 of 3: Valves: Rog remote or factory control

    Two ways to control the valves on your Ferrari F12berlinetta V12.

    Rog remote

    Rog remote for opening and closing the valves

    A small control unit fits in the boot. Two buttons, open and closed: the valves respond at any moment, whatever the drive mode. Simple to fit, and we stay on hand throughout the installation.

    Factory control

    • Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
    • Controlled by the drive modes

    If your vehicle is fitted with factory valves, the exhaust keeps their existing control. The drive modes decide, just as they did from the factory, with no added electronics.

    On the motorway, with the valves closed, the gases pass through the silencer, designed for cruising: no drone at a steady speed. You open up when you feel like it, not when the motorway decides for you. More about exhaust drone.

The Rog sound signature on the V12

The Ferrari V12 climbs like a musical instrument: deep and refined low down, screaming and crystalline towards the top. Our exhaust frees the very highest harmonics, the ones the factory exhaust never delivers, and turns the climb through the revs into a total experience. With the valves closed, grand touring takes over again.

Ferrari F12berlinetta V12: your questions

How much power does an exhaust add on the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

As standard, the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12 produces 740 hp and 690 Nm. An exhaust system on its own mainly changes the sound, the breathing and the weight; power is gained with an ECU remap. With a Stage 2 build, the published figures reach 814 hp and 767 Nm.

Stainless steel or titanium: which material for the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

The Rog exhaust comes in stainless steel and titanium, at the price shown on the product page in your currency. 304 stainless steel is tough, rounded in tone and the most popular choice; titanium is around 40% lighter for the same design, with a more metallic sound at high revs.

Do you need to replace the catalytic converter on the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

No. On the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12, the cat-back alone carries the valves and already transforms the sound. Replacing the front pipes is an option for going further: with a 200-cell sports catalytic converter for the road, 100-cell or decat for more radical use, with an ECU remap to turn it into power.

Will a Rog exhaust pass vehicle inspection on the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

With the cat-back only or the 200-cell sports catalytic converter, emissions control is retained: present the car with the valves closed. The 100-cell brings more sound and flow, and whether it is accepted at the emissions test depends on the car and local rules; the decat version is intended for track use.

How is the Rog exhaust fitted on the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

No welding or cutting, using clamps and gaskets. Allow two hours on average for a well-equipped mechanic. The exhaust is built for your VIN, which guarantees compatibility before it ships.

What price and lead time for a Rog exhaust on the Ferrari F12berlinetta V12?

The price depends on the configuration and is shown on the product page, in your currency. Allow 20 working days from order confirmation to delivery. Free delivery and a 3-year warranty.
