Hi,
I know this may seem like somewhat of a random questions, but I am thinking of starting my own line of exhaust systems and possibly a few other basic bolt on goodies for ferrari's. Im just trying to get some imput on what you guys would like to see and how many of you guys actually mod your cars.

Nice Raw Mean lol. Napier, you will find that if you want to compete you will need to have a serious level of quality, good power results, and great sound. A handful of other companies already make exhausts for Ferrari's.

pretty much everyone who goes on car forums mods their cars in some form even if it's very minor.

Hello:

I always stick with the bolt-on equipment - My current F-cars have HRE larger diameter wheels, Tubi or MS Racing cat-back exhausts, 550 has a X-pipe, and very minor adjustment to the suspension for the larger diameter wheels.

Unfortunately due the maintenance $$$ most of the money is saved for future incidentals which most F-cars will have.

As someone noted above any equipment has to be top notch with a proven record.

There are already many good exhaust options out there. Nobody would buy stuff from someone new to the industry.

Very few Ferrari's have mods. Occasional wheels and exhaust but the new F430 exhaust from the factory already sounds good. This market would be too select to try and jump into.

If you set up mods for Honda's or that type of market you would have an audience 1000's of times larger.

and 1000s of time cheaper.
but then, it's always better to have more "buyers"
you will have to spend major money to do decent in the market, especially for ferrari.

You might want to try and do something like aerodynamics/ body kits as it does not have an effect on the performance of the car or something going wrong with warranty or the engine somehow going sour from it. At least with body styling, you might have a bigger market and is less of a 'risk' if you will
