550 Hyperflow x-pipe and Novitec exhaust.

that looks perfect,i know what my first mod will be in 2 years time

 

John- It looks great and I already know it sounds great. Incidentally, those are the Novitec screens you and Adam decided to use. The finer screens were ones my techs fabricated and installed. Should make it eaiser to clean those huge tailpipes.

You got a great bargain, as did I originally, and if anybody wants to know how a V12 should sound, listen to John's car. The car sounds really mean at idle, then as it revs it sounds like the ripping canvas, or in this case ripping kevlar, of the Testa Rossa SOHCs of old. Not too obnoxious at cruise, either.

I had withdrawal symptoms as soon as I removed it.

Man I am jealous! My car goes on the hoist soon. I'm buying exhaust parts today. I'm thinking about trying glasspacks with straight pipes and just twin tips at the rear. This would make things most like open tubes and delete a huge amount of weight too.

 

I have heard several 550's with different mufflers. Most just seemed louder with a drone. Yours by far is the best I have ever heard. Would need a ride though to really make sure

 

John- What you cannot hear in the video is the bark on upshifts and the beautiful burble on the over-run on trailing throttle and downshifts. It really is an amazingly rich sound. I had a Euro Daytona with a few of the mufflers removed (almost straight through pipes) and the sounds are similar. Makes an eight cylinder sound wimpy. Corvettes and Mustangs cringe. Great fun, especially for $1200.

Now that sounds fantastic. A very Classic Ferrari sound. Well done!

Man that sounds awesome for around town driving. For the long haul I think maybe too loud. I'm going to keep the stockers and then do n electric cutout and if I got lucky my car would sound as good as motoair's.

 

Sounds Great

 

Next time I am in SoCal I may take you up on that offer! Who can you get to follow you and get a qtr mile run for You Tube? I would but I don't think my Unimog could keep up ~

I was hooked on the Ferrari V12 ever since I watched Gumball Rally when I was a kid. I wonder where I can find that movie now?

 

Brian, much better than the 456 with the whoopie cussion bypass button!

 

Taz I can imagine what that sound is like. I put a Flowmaster on the '87 Carrera I had and it did that a little bit. When I went to the Porsche parade at PIR in '95 spectators at the track came up after a driving session and said it sounded great. Half as many cylinders and sounded about one third as good sounding as a V12

 

John- Thought this might cheer you up. Your exhaust system for sale for >$5000. Yours has the Supersport sound.
