I'm looking to buy a Ferrari 360 and found one that is ideal, but comes with the standard exhaust.

To be honest, I haven't heard the standard exhaust in person, but was hoping for something with a decent amount of volume (without being obnoxiously loud)

I realise that i could just fit something like a tubi or capristo after purchasing, but to be honest I don't want to spent £5k straight after purchasing as this will eat too much into the slush fund. My understanding is this is what I am looking at to fit one of these from new?

It appears that it is quite a simple job to make the exhaust valves open permanently. Would this make the sound comparable with a sports exhaust?

Everywhere i read it says that it is a 5 minute job, but I can't see anything on youtube and all forum threads that i can see about the subject are many years old and all links and images etc no longer work any more.

Does anyone have a good link showing exactly how this can be done, confirm whether it is worth it and whether it is likely to cause any issues?

You may find something useful (either for this or other ownership elements) here https://aldousvoice.com/technical-articles/

If the car is ideal then buy it after careful PPI and keep a lookout for a secondhand exhaust if the original ends up unsatisfactory

The sports exhausts have reduced amounts of silencing materiel. The best sounding exhausts are x-pipes… look at Kline.

If it's a good car then the standard exhaust wouldn't put me off.

They sound very good stock - and after you've had it a while you can always move to an x-pipe etc if that's what you want.

Agreed - mine sounded great stock.

On the other hand, it will almost certainly be filling the engine bay with dust regularly

The regular 360 exhaust with valves open (can get a controller as a compromise) sounds sensational.

Thanks all for the advice. I think I wouldn't hesitate in the future given the advice above.

I put in what I thought was a very strong offer, but sadly it seems I was pipped to the post by someone else, as they had took a deposit from someone else before I could increase my offer. Shame as the car had been with them for almost 9 months!

Still on the look out for a red 360 Modena. High miles don't bother me too much.

Just out of interest, why a 360 and not an F430? Or even a 355...

Both out of budget unfortunately.

I have a max budget of around £55k.
