Maserati MC20 / MC20 Cielo V6 Valved Exhaust System (2020+)

The Maserati MC20 / MC20 Cielo V6 exhaust in detail.

The MC20 marks Maserati’s return to the supercar ranks, and its engine is the centrepiece: the twin-turbo Nettuno V6, developed by Maserati, uses pre-chamber combustion derived from Formula 1. It has delivered 630 hp and 730 Nm since 2020, with a technical, interesting sound that emissions standards nonetheless hold in check.

The Nettuno has a higher register to reveal. With the valves open, the Rog valved cat-back unleashes a high-pitched, thoroughbred tone, total presence at high revs and sharp bangs on the overrun; with the valves closed, the Modena supercar becomes civilised again for discreet journeys, and like every Rog system, its own is only built after checking the VIN.

Even on a car of this calibre, installation remains simple: clamps, gaskets, no welding and about two hours, with the original valve control if it exists, or the Rog remote.

Just after the turbos, the downpipe carries the catalytic converter; the page replaces it under the “Manifold” option. Without an ECU remap, it acts on voice and weight; with one, it opens the way to power, but on an MC20 every project deserves a discussion with us before ordering. An MC20 driven on the open road will keep the 200-cell version and its emissions control; the 100-cell will be accepted or refused depending on the car and the rules in your country, and the decat part is intended solely for track use. Titanium, around 40% lighter than 304 stainless steel for the same design, fits the car’s philosophy.
