FF too loud

Dude...it's a N/A V12 that makes one of the most glorious sounds on planet Earth. If it's too loud, you're likely too old. Buy a Hybrid

I simply can't relate as I've straight piped and tuned mine. If I could go louder, I would.

Good luck!

 

Test drove a Roma today- i thought it was too loud at idle and much louder than my stock FF.

 

Check to see if it was modified, I thought mine was very quiet stopped at lights.

 

The FF was not insulated as well as the Lusso. It is pretty drony inside, especially in the back.

You can check and see if it has the stock exhaust, but that is about it.

Forget the Roma. It is drone galore and it sounds nothing like a Ferrari.

Go test a Lusso. From a noise reduction standpoint it is leaps and bounds ahead of the FF, and the valves are closed during cold starts. The Lusso V12 really too the comfort to a new level, with no drone and next to no wind noise.

Do yourself a favour and have a go in a Lusso V12. Sounds like the perfect car for you.

I have my concerns about this post and your ears.

I’d say check if the valves are capped or if they are actually functioning. After that, I’ve got a welder and a lift and we can figure something out

 

Mmmmmmhhh

FF is already very insulated. My full kline was screaming outside but inside it wasn’t as fantastic. The windows are also too thicke…

I liked my FF but I don’t regret it

FF does not drone at idle...the FF cold starts with valves open and they shut automatically. are you running oem exhaust setup? does the car have an ECU tune? the FF interior is very well insulated.

 

Here's what I notice with my FF after one year. When I come to a stop, the engine initially idles at 1,000 rpm and the gearbox is still engaged, the car will creep forward, but after being stationary for 1-2 seconds, the idle drops down to around 700 rpm and the gearbox disengages, the car will roll but not creep. If I tap the gas, the engine idle jumps back up to 1,000 rpm and the gearbox engages waiting to take off. Lately, I've noticed that every once in a while, even thought I'm stationary for some time and the gearbox has disengaged, the engine speed does not drop to 700 rpm but stays at 1,000 rpm and it is quite loud, much louder than idling at 700rpm. Much more pleasant to sit at a long red light at 700rpm.

 

From your description of the issue it does seem odd that you have an inconsistent exhaust sound at similar revs. I suggest that your valves are not opening/closing properly. I only had my stock exhaust for a short time (replaced with a Novi) but I would expect that the valves would open only at higher revs or under significant load.

 

Honestly I couldn’t hear much;(

By the way, yes your coolant temp seems unusually high, especially compared to the oil temp and outside temp. Here’s mine on a warmer day just after sitting in traffic. I can’t recall ever seeing mine much hotter than 210.

Good catch.

 

I've never seen my coolant temp needle swinging higher than 210.

 

The difference I noticed in the 2 videos seems the drone version has a higher idle speed than the quiet one. The extra couple hundred RPM can make a huge difference in sound.

 

That's interesting because it sounds different to my ears. I wonder if the tach is accurate. How about this: AC compressor on or off? Cooling fan on or off? Alternator load?

 

I would definitely get that temp checked out. I'm in Miami with ambient temps in the 90's and have never seen the water temp over 210 even in stop and go traffic. Try to see if the temps go up only when you're idling, or if it stays up even when cruising continously?
