iPE Maserati Ghibli / S (M157) Exhaust System is a performance exhaust system developed specifically for the Maserati Ghibli and Ghibli S (M157), covering models from 2013–2017. Manufactured from Stainless Steel, the system is designed to enhance the distinctive character of the Maserati Ghibli through improved exhaust sound and precision-engineered construction.
The iPE system focuses on creating a clean and refined exhaust tone across the entire RPM range, complementing the character and sophistication of the Maserati Ghibli rather than simply increasing exhaust volume. iPE describes the system as being precisely handcrafted to refine the various aspects of the Ghibli's exhaust sound.
A key feature is the iPE Valvetronic Exhaust System, which allows the exhaust valves to control the character and volume of the exhaust. With the valves open, the system delivers a more pronounced racing-inspired exhaust sound, giving the Ghibli a significantly more engaging character during spirited driving.
When a quieter driving environment is preferred, the valves can be closed to help suppress unwanted vibration and exhaust drone inside the cabin. This allows passengers to maintain comfortable conversations and enjoy a more relaxed driving experience without permanently sacrificing the performance-oriented character of the exhaust system.
The system is manufactured from Stainless Steel, with iPE emphasizing its handcrafted construction and vehicle-specific engineering. iPE states that its exhaust systems use high-grade T304 Stainless Steel and Titanium materials across its product range and undergo testing before release.
For the Ghibli / S (M157), iPE offers several exhaust-tip finishes, including Chrome Tips as standard, with Carbon Fiber, Chrome Black and Titanium Blue available as optional finishes. This allows the exhaust appearance to be matched to the styling of the vehicle.
The iPE system therefore combines Valvetronic valve control, refined sound quality and handcrafted Stainless Steel construction to give the Maserati Ghibli a stronger and more distinctive exhaust character while retaining the ability to keep the cabin comfortable during everyday driving.
