A drawing and several pics of my custom exhaust...

Ok here it is for those who requested it, a drawing of my setup with new pics as well... My friends and co-workers have come to compare the sound of my exhaust to the 61 Ferrari off the movie Ferris Bueler's day off. It is very similar, not quite as loud and rumbleing as the Ferrari...

enjoy!

It's my understanding that it is a a Ferrari replica in the movie, not the real thing. They used four replicas in the movie -- they were powered with Ford 5 liter V8s. Fiberglass bodies with no Ferrari logo, according to a website on the movie.

Well you get the gist of it.

sonofzzzap, maybe my vision is poor, but it looks to me as though you may have a pretty restictive connection between your header collector and the 2.5" pipe coming out of it! Just an observation.

A great sounding solution, as I ran that same setup on my Z over 10 years ago, but not the best for performance. I suggest 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 all the way back to a flowmaster muffler. You'll get a great sound with improved performance.

Replica Ferraries with a Ferrari like sound dubbed over. That is the standard way of doing thing in movies when the car is too expansive to use the real thing. The California spiders are $1 million+ cars. Other movies have dubbed sound too, like Cannonball run. The Lambos and ferraries sounded awesome in that movie, mabey too good.

I would love to have my car sound that way. I might copy your setup some day. I have the flowmaster now along with all the other z's in town. I would like to sound different from them but good too. A set of tripples, big cam and high compression sound great too, part of the reason older Ferrries sound so good. There is a guy with a F355 that autoxes accasionally. His car his very stock and is not very impressive to listen to, sounds like a Honda. Smae guy has a 240 with tripples and a bigger cam, when it gets above 5500 or so it really starts to sound good.

hmm... I have the feeling I messed up... My aim was performance, but this is how maxi installed it.

[sonofzzzap]

well, this was my solution until I could afford a better muffler... I was thinking of maybe a 30 series, they have a different sound than most flowmasters... they're only 80$

[Ron Carter]

hmm, well you get what you pay for...

[sonofzzzap]

thats understandable, but I would think that it would flow alot better than the old rusty stock exhaust I had before. I dunno, maybe I should have had them do it a different way...

Another "F" word to avoid! Really... on Hybridz.com, you read of reports that the "Enzo" people will complain greatly ( as in lawyers/law suits) because EBAY had a replica for sale on there with the Enzo decals or even just a yellow patch the shape of a shield! Even using the "F" word on your Ebay car auction gets you some warnings.
