If it has a v-8 the muffler will not make it sound like the ferrari-ever. If it were installed longitudinally you could install some 180* headers and it may sound better. But if it fiero based forget it.

If the V8 is running, then leave it. It is much (as in very much) more fun to have a driving car, than a project that goes over budget, does not run, and sits in the garage for years.

use a Ferrari engine to get the sound you want. The crank firing order, headers and intake venturi are all different.

Sorry, I don't think I can help you at this point. You might want to consider purchasing a book on Ferrari engines at your local book store.

What FunnyWheels is trying to say is that there is no real way to reproduce the Ferrari sound without a real Ferrari engine.

I have an OEM 355 Muffler on my Replica and it still sounds like a Fiero. You have a V8 thats cool enough, enjoy!

Nope!

A four cylinder with a turbo might sound good though.

so there are no changes i can do to change the sound. not even a little. the guy that had the car said you can buy resinators or something to change it
