355CH muffler and no cats…..sound heaven! Doesn’t matter what the weather is (within reason), I always drive with the window open. Sounds fabulous from idle to 9000rpm.

For my cars, at least, the Testarossa is by far the best sounding (Ansa exhaust & bypass pipes). Just musical at every speed.

 

The Diablo (Larini exhaust) gets your heart racing, but I think more by quantity of sound rather than quality.

 

My 355 (Tubi exhaust), honestly, sounds like a truck until about 4000 rpm. After that it's interesting but nothing like the Capristo videos below. I complained about this back when I got the car and got the Tubi fitted. Most people said that until you got rid of the cats or switched to Hyperflows that it would sound lousy. I do note the 2nd video below indicates the car is de-catted. I've even taken the car to Karl just to make sure that my headers hadn't failed again because it sounded so un-Ferrari like. Karl does have a couple of spare Hyperflows that he's offered, but seeing as how I just emptied my accounts for the Vanquish, that will have to wait a little while.

355 and Daytona are both fantastic, and do it in different ways....more of a taste thing for the right moment.

 

CG, how would you agree about that regarding 355 vs. flat 12 or diablo 12?

I don't know...those sound damn good (I have two friends with Daytonas), but
an F355 with Capristo sounds pretty damn good too.
