That said, the Ferrari 360 sounds reasonable when pushed to the rev limits. Its throaty, growly tone turn heads even if it\u2019s not an especially \u201cnice\u201d sound. The real issue is that they do not often have a chance to push the cars to the limit and allow the engine to emit its soundtrack to the world.<\/p>\n<p>Owner\u2019s forums are also not short of suggestions. They even include quite drastic manipulations of the exhaust valve systems, quoting that unplugging the vacuum-lines down to the vales and jamming them open with cable ties will help. \u00a0The truth is, the car still sounds subdued and rather \u201cgruff\u201d even as the revs rise \u2013 the home-made solution on a very expensive and complex supercar hasn\u2019t helped.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2907\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrari 360 Capristo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We, of course, do not suggest any of these DIY ideas to be implemented on your prized 360s.

It\u2019s made of stainless steel, which, thanks to its lightweight construction, helps to shed a few pounds on the 360 as well.<\/p>\n<p>The exhaust is available in three versions: Level 1, 2 and 3. They all produce a lovely high pitched old-F1-scream, but they simply vary by volume. The system marked with number 3 is the most aggressive \u2013 designed for owners wanting the most outrageous sound all the time. It\u2019s not for everyone.\u00a0In fact, we normally recommend the Level 2 &#8211; this system, with a more moderate volume, is the most popular option amongst Ferrari 360 owners.<\/p>\n<p>Capristo then adds an especially developed spring mounted bracket, which allows much more expansion movement to the exhaust, preventing cracking from rigid-mounting-stresses.<\/p>\n<p>Also possible is an upgrade to the<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/part-finder\/ferrari\/360\/oe\/11\/1726\/32780\">OEM catalytic converters<\/a><\/span>. Many options are available on the market, however, our recommendation is to replace these with either a set of 200 cells sports cats or test pipes from Capristo as well.<\/p>\n<p>For this example, the owner wanted maximal sound and excitement, so we recommended lightweight (again made from stainless steel) test pipes replacing the heavy OEM catalytic converters. Using this set of pipes removes the flow restriction a catalytic converter places on an exhaust gasses, slightly increasing the horsepower (+23hp with the Capristo exhaust downstream)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2911\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-6.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrari 360 Capristo\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/360-6-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, what is the effect? The owners who already installed this upgrade in their vehicles are astonished. This quote below is just one of the examples you might find on Capristo website, however, it is also duly confirmed and signed by both hands of all our customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFitment is as good as factory if not better; install was very straight forward and easy; tail pipes lined up perfect without any fiddling around. Sound level in the cabin is unbelievably refined. No drone at all.<\/p>\n<p>Quiet enough to hold a conversation with a passenger while doing 85mph down the highway; but still manages to sound like a straight F1 car when you are outside the car and hear it.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t really have words for the contrast between how refined it sounds when you are in the cabin vs how over the top amazing it is when you hear it from the outside; it blows my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this review doesn\u2019t convince you, we suggest watching the below video from our installation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Embedded media\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zhpJN7ih5zs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>PS.
