Default mr2/360 exhaust

ok so im gonna be working for my dad building ferrari 360 replicas onto the 2000+ model MR2's, and wondering if theres any way to custom make exhausts to replicate the tone of a ferrari. to my knowledge, by custom bending an exhaust you can change the tone of it, and i was wondering if theres a way to make it like a ferrari tone. i understand its 8 cylinders compared to 4, and a bigger engine, more power and better parts, but is there anyone that can get close to the sound of a ferrari? if so how much would they cost per exhaust, and i would order them in bulk.

Glasspacks and call it a day.

Seriously, though, you'd need the engine specs of a Ferrari to give it the sound. Ridiculously oversquare, about the same displacement as an MR2, but with 8 cylinders.

Seriously, though, glasspacks and call it a day.

well these kits you can put together onto those model MR2's with no experience and no special tools in about 50 hours...their the easiest kits to build, and spec wise the most accurate as body dimensions. were also going to be buiding ferrari F355 replicas onto those model MR2's which is also a very accurate and easy to build kit. we've already had lots of calls and a few pre-orders, and the first one will be built before august and taken to the Las Vegas international kit car show.

so you have call and preorders on something you've never done before?
you must advertise well

and go to any race shop stuck in the 50s, they'll have them...

Get an exhaust for a lotus elise, they use the same motor.
And a supercharger.
