Thanks for the answers!

I own the loud one. It is a 2000 that I bought used 6 months ago. I'm suspecting the previous owner removed the pre-cat, or maybe Ferrari started including a pre-cat during the year 2000.

Note that I love the way my car sounds. Simply amazing on the track. I unfortunately received my camera mount too late. Next time I'll record and share.

There IS a large difference in exhaust sound between the pre-cat 360s and the early ones - ESPECIALLY regarding the escalation in noise when the exhaust opens up.
ACW what 360 is yours?

Doubt the grill has anything to do with the sound.
My '99 360 euro has a much deeper exhaust sound than the '00-02.Can't explain difference between 2 '00 360's except diff in driving techinique.

maybe you were driving in high revs and the other was shifting short?
The grill does not have the difference. Maybe a very little but I would doubt that people could here the difference. The noise comes from the exhaust pipes not the muffler piece that is more exposed on the challenge grill.

I took my 360 to Laguna Seca yesterday to attend the local lotus club track event. There was 2 360 at the event including mine. Strangely, according to several people, my 360 was a substantially louder than the other.

I understand that Ferrari added a pre-cat in 2000, but both cars are 2000 360. The only other difference is a challenge grill on my car. Could the grill be the difference?
