    I love this sound- brings me back to my youth and the old movies and sound I associate with a Ferrari race car:



    I haven’t heard a straight piped 812. All the various largo-d, caprisro-d, kline-d et al exhaust mods all seem to accentuate the high pitched shrill, none have that retro race car tone. (I know it is the sum of the parts) but does one specific mod make that more guttural tone?The no cats? The custom headers? The no silencers?

    Since I don’t really street my 812 and mainly “momentum” track it (I live an hour from MSR Houston) I’d love to get that retro race car tone and not void my warranty.

    My dot 1 GT3RS is getting a cage, seats and side muffler deletes as we speak. Now that COTA is cancelled I’ve got the 8 weeks of down time to look into a full cat back exhaust for it. (Talk about exhaust mod insanity- I’ve only heard the Dundon Crack pipe and GMG center deletes.)

    PS when I do DD it/them, I live in the country and when driving these cars at the posted speed limits you’re in 5th gear at 30 mph so noise is not a factor.

    I had a 348 turned into a racecar with a copy of the challenge tube exhaust. The sound was glorious!
