Sounds like the exhuast flapper mod on the VW R32. Its just a vacuum line that actuates the exhaust flap. I would tape up the holes as well as pluging the line with golf tee, etc.

^^Is that with the golf tee mod?^^

Maybe it's the recording, but it sounds similar to most stock 430 Scuds and 458's I've heard...

+1 one of the techs at Ferrari Denver showed me this on a CS several years ago. Sounds great though

The problem with doing this, is that there is a severe drone when cruising. Otherwise, I think that it really adds some much needed noise down low.

Wow! Both of these cars are mine.

This was taken last year at Turn 5 at Road America and then later on Saturday night in Elkhart Lake.

We had a blast! We'll be back there again this year at Turn 5 and for the Concours event on Saturday night.
