This serves a dual purpose of removing the middle silencer to increase volume slightly, but also by blending the two banks of exhaust gases together we again help to lift the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we installed a set of 100-cell sport cats in place of the highly restrictive 800-cell factory versions. This results in a significant volume increase over standard, however it retains a very liveable volume with the valves closed &#8211; which means you can drive this thing every day without the fear of blowing out ear drums or getting a load of drone in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3970\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521-711x400.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSCF3521.jpg 1820w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This video provides one of the most stark contrasts between original and aftermarket we&#8217;ve ever seen &#8211; the pitch is SO much higher, the car is SO much louder and the car, quite frankly, finally has an exhaust note which lives up to it&#8217;s fearsome reputation.<\/p>\n<p>This is, unquestionably, one of the best sounding cars in the UK &#8211; there, we said it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re very fortunate to be surrounded by amazing cars on a near enough daily basis, but every so often something comes through our doors which is utterly breathtaking&#8230; This car needs little to no introduction, the Ferrari F12 TDF.
