    yes! One of my best drives ever was an lp400 w/burtoni "sports" exhaust....2 hours through the hills of Gilroy

    Totally fantastic :)

    Im proud to say that I had owned a Countach (for all of 2 days!) and sadly never got to "open her up" to hear all those 12 cylinders sing. Maybe when I get the chance to own another, I will make the whole orchestra rock!

    There is nothing like the sound of a Countach.

    The exhaust has a raw note about it that is not found in newer cars.

    The Countach was designed to intimidate, not only in looks and performance but also in sound.

    Wonderful videos by the way, although I'm sure you'll agree that the sound of the car in real life is much better.

    The sound of a Countach (especially with sports exhaust) is terriffic! Gives me goose bumps every time :)

    I just looooove the crackling sound of the weber carburetori in the first vid. That's something I rarely hear these days in the age of fuel injection.
    Awesome !

    I was fortunate at a young teenager to see and hear several of them here in So Cal. Made quite an impression on this young mind.

    Countach piping is home made and not final version.

    308 system is similar, but pipes has been made to meet before silensers. Silencer are normal tuning stuff, but used exit side in.
