Finally my cheap Ferrari sounds like a Ferrari should!!

[@global_nomad.]

happy days....not just for you, i'm sure everyone watching here was also grinning along with you, great to see it running and flowing without issue..

[@mickmcnulty1]

I think you've got that sound bang on. He's done a top job with that exhaust. The sound range is perfect rumble at low revs and snarl when opened up...

[@kev-the-windsurfer.]

That is THE best sounding 308 I have ever heard!! I would stick with that exhaust and let it soak in because I think the more you drive it and listen the more you'll like it. Its so very noticeable even on video how much better it sounds. I also notice how much more responsive the engine is.....That exhaust guy has done a great job, and its great to see you enjoying the car so much, I get like that driving around in my 348, its a wonderful experience when everything comes together like that..... Looking forward to seeing this quick rack going in......that will totally transform the car!!

[@Number27]

Thank Kevin and enjoy your 348!

[@snowthugs]

Do you have the contact information of the guy to built your exahuast?

[@DeltaDubai03]

It is so refreshing to watch a KZbinr with genuine enthusiasm. Great video with great engine sound!

[@NH00531]

Nice to have an entire video actually driving (and listening to) the Influenzo! Sounds lovely, your faith and perseverance has paid off. 👍

[@olivermaltby2943]

Sounds bloody fantastic, glad you got there in the end!

[@WildPomStudios]

🚗💨 Wow! Now that sounds like a real Ferrari! Love that car!

[@ijvpet]

It sounds fantastic! Love the sound at high revs. The car sounds like pure excitement. Well done!!

[@harvo351]

Sounding lovely . . . Exhaust is a work of art too !! Looks like it has totally rekindled your passion after the recent troubles . . . Great to see !!

[@eze8970]

When you started to smile, half enjoyment & half relief when you started it up & heard the new exhaust - a true enthusiast! Sounds a lot better to. All the best with it!

[@guywilson187]

Great to see your joy at this success after the earlier tribulations. She does sound better with the gentle pops and crackles on the over-run. I do look forward to hearing even more “Ferrariesque” tunes after the future airbox work too. Lastly, I was particularly taken by the image at 11:21 as you pulled up by the camera. The sight of the iconic five spoke alloy and that shapely wing pointing down the open road was super. Good job, well done. Keep it up 👍

[@danielryan5384]

Great to hear her sounding as it should, nice job dude 👏

[@Number27]

Thanks Guy!! I also really liked that little clip!

[@Neomet010]

Nicely done! You are really showing the joy of fiddling about with our project cars, even with their inevitable moments of frustration. Your smile says it all!

[@jcreswick]

Fantastic sound, so glad you're now happy with it, now has a nice rasp at high revs without sounding like a fart in a dustbin at low revs, well done!

[@oohmeconkers1968]

I wouldn’t mess with the exhaust my friend. It’s unique to you and the influenzo, i know what you mean about the Ferrari Howl at the top end but realistically it’s only the later higher revving engines that do that! It sounds just right.. I love pops and bangs... just enough to scare the postman or the cat! As soon as the rack is sorted and your sill you will truly love that car.. she’s a keeper. Don’t take the flu vaccine... 😆😆😆😆

[@maxgreece1]

Really coming together now. Sounds great to my ears (over the laptop speakers admittedly) and once the sill is done it should look the part too. Glad its staying red though...

[@skithewhitestuff]

What a difference in sound. I like the burble when it off throttle as well. Great improvement

[@NigelMarston]

I paid a fortune for a centre section exhaust from H&S. No-one could see it but I knew it was there. The Influenzo sounds great. So good that it's starting to reward your attention.

[@bigjohnfury5662]

*Ford Motorsport used H&S for titanium side exit exhausts on Sierra & Escort Cosworth plus Prodrive on the Group A & Wrc Subaru's*

[@NigelMarston]

Indeed, mine was a Subaru - a 3 litre Legacy. And a friend who worked for Prodrive got me a discount on a pair of their tailpipes which looked very shiny and purposeful.

[@hrys5483]

Sounds awesome, well done. So great to see you enjoying the car and it just gets better! Looking forward to more videos.

[@stevecade857]

Sounds great. I'd play with the carbs before messing with any exhaust mods to improve the top end howl. All that popping and banging is a sign of a rich engine.

[@jacobb1354]

Could also be less back pressure or the unintended consequence of the custom exhaust. I like it though.

[@Number27]

It’s doing it less as the exhaust beds in!

[@saltleywsc]

Love how your grin got wider and wider as the engine got louder ! proper job !

[@originalsubwayjones]

Car sounds fantastic. My first car was an 83 Z-28.. I remember putting on the 3” exhaust, WoW, really changed the whole experience.

[@oooGreeooo]

Sounds amazing. You’re right to be so happy. The exhaust note can change the entire experience of a car. I just changed the exhaust on my 135i and now it’s visceral - reminds me of the 1950s and 60s cars I used to drive. Really enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing

[@ryanmccormick2150]

She sounds amazing Jack! What a car you have there for the Money, I can't think of many other cars that would look and sound like that for sub 40k! I think not going for a full respray is wise just drive her enjoy the experience add some chips and scratches and make some cracking InfluEnzo memories 😀 👍

[@happyknightinternationalma116]

Jack, remember days like these are your uppers. The antidote to days when things don’t quite go to plan. Even better, now you feel your getting somewhere with the jobs to do list. 👍👍

[@patricedv]

This really sounds way better. And I love to see you enjoying every improvement. I must admit it’s contagious. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@Number27]

Thank you Patrice!

[@chuckhpnwx]

Sounds amazing from here. Love your smile when you first start it...says a lot! Enjoy!

[@Ninakoklahombi]

The sound is dramatically improved. Congratulations. She just keeps getting better and better. All the best.

[@Number27]

Thanks Seth!!

[@henryhol8538]

Result! Sounds awesome! Its truly admirable the way you set your goal and work towards it.

[@Trueseeker-r8q]

Wow what a transformation that has got to be one of the best sounding 308s I've heard top marks to the exhaust guy , fantastic 👌

[@simmymunchkin]

Love your videos!! Your enthusiasm and dedication and the cars are just a not to watch!! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@mell3109]

Getting there...and I can sense the love increasing 🤪

[@frozenpete788]

It sounds really nice!! The unequal lengths really give a nice tone. Somehow it sounds a bit like a f355 without the "shout" at high rpm.

[@masonstorm1834]

So happy for you sounds great just looking forward to seeing it after the repair is done

[@GRfourfun]

Cup of coffee in hand, eating toast loving this upload and the sound! WOW! Much better! You must be so chuffed with it!

[@nigel9843]

Sounds really great , that new exhaust looks and sounds amazing.

[@MrTopgear67]

Love what you have done to it, it sounds really good. Congratulations!

[@Mtnflying]

Love that smile when things go well! Congratulations

[@Number27]

Thanks Philip!

[@simes205]

You’ll never get bored of trailing throttle! Sounds fabulous.

[@FunYl]

Best sounding 308 I've heard so far!

[@anthonybrand6137]

I was happy to see you finally liking & enjoying the new ' modified ' exhaust note of the 308......the smile on your face says it all! It was also good that you got the suspension bushes replaced at your local ferrari specialists, but why no mentioned of the repairs to the damaged bodywork that i thought they were going to do? I'm really enjoying your ferrari ownership journey , and always look forward to the next instalment. Keep up the good work!

[@stevehill8512]

Sounds superb Jack definitely worth the perseverance another great video

[@Steelman6666]

You have certainly hit the spot with that exhaust now. Some amazing 😉

[@michaelives1018]

Your beautiful ride sounds like it is always in launch mode. It’s gorgeous!!

[@steffydog]

That’s better, much much better, awesome 👏 . . . Great to see you smiling and happy.

[@Number27]

Thanks buddy!!

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Sounds great now. A big improvement. Really ‘makes’ the car. Sound is so important in a car like this. It’s a big part of the experience.

[@AlainHubert]

Exquisite sound! A proper Ferrari V8 sound. Congrats to Reef exhausts and Ryan for a superb job! I know exactly what you're still looking for though, some sort of high-frequency bite at higher revs. I know the feeling of finally having a good sounding exhaust, since I now enjoy a Borla on my Stinger, which was nearly silent before despite having a 365hp twin-turbo V6 engine. Enjoy your new Ferrari on the back roads of England and thanks for sharing, Jack. Looking forward to another captivating episode of the Influenzo series.

[@Number27]

Thank you Alain!! Enjoy what’s left of summer!

[@2702simmo]

That sounds fab now and I’m sure the drive is do much better for it. The joy on your face with it is great I hope the smile remains and she doesn’t throw you another curveball

[@Number27]

Thanks Simmo!

[@caprirob]

Sounds absolutely glorious. Excellent work 😎

[@jamiepolson]

Nice job, you looked so happy on start up. Chuffed for you 👍

[@melbournecyclingsegments7510]

"The hills are alive, with the sound of music!"

[@sxrory]

it sounds great, you drive it, which is great and you have a go working on it, which it great. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the content. Look forward to more.

[@marcryvon]

Do I ever know that feeling ! I own a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. My baby for the last 29 years. With the original Chevy 2.8 V6 used in many, many commuter lowly sedans. But the boys at Pontiac tweeked it to get every hp possible - rated at an (official) 140+ - but with a tuned exhaust. Not an easy task on V6 engine, usually a basso type of sound. But did they ever done it ! It sounds a lot like your 208. I never miss to listen to it every tunnel I cross. Lovely "angry" sound at higher revs. Pure joy. Very early Sunday drives, when the city is asleep, I go out and enjoy. I'm 68 now, with painful lower back problems and other health issues, but I cannot decide myself to sell it as my doctor and family tell me to do. I'll die in it ! Enjoy, friend !

[@Number27]

Lovely to hear your passion for your Fiero Marc. Enjoy it!!

[@strongbowism]

Well done Jack... InFluenzo sounding sweet fair play. Your guys have done a great job on that pipe... Keep smiling mate, your getting there... Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@kayerickatson4814]

She sounds like a proper Italian car now / wow!

[@corrioliseffect]

At 7:00 after downshift into 3rd, that whining is one of my favorite engine sounds. 👍 🇮🇹

[@neilphillips5737]

Sounds awesome. Great to bump into you at Boxengasse

[@Number27]

Likewise!

[@roscoe9507]

Sounds like a track car beast!!!!!!!! What a sound track to have

[@alanmckeown5377]

Massive change in sound sir👍

[@canucklehead0]

That sounds lovely!! Like the 308 should sound. I remarked on the James May video where he's bashing the car that there is something magical above 4 thousand revs when that Ferrari "howl" kicks in and how addictive playing above that rev range is. This is the sound I meant, although I think you said 5 thousand but even so, that's the sound that we all associate with the 308 series cars from the GTB/GTS the Mondial and then the QV cars. I'm very happy you got your Ferrari's sound back!! Happy days and B roads!! Please keep your journey with the Infuenzo coming, I'm fairly new to your channel and am just catching up!

[@leegurbutt]

Well done Jack. It sounds great!

[@netwiseca]

I've been waiting to hear the difference... it was worth the wait! You must be thrilled with the sound... the Influenzo just gained an increase in fun factor! Good for you! I think you nailed the word... Scream... there's nothing like the sound of a Ferrari on song!!!! I think the sound you're hoping to find will continue to elude you... it's hard to get the wild Ferrari scream out of an 8 cylinder engine. But, what you have sounds absolutely brilliant... especially for an 8 cylinder! Keep these videos coming please... but next, a nice tour through the countryside as a request... :) Cheers from British Columbia!

[@Number27]

Thanks Tim! My best to you over there in the 🇺🇸!

[@craigjezz9701]

Great to see you back again

[@mdigs2364]

Tasty note, but I agree we need to hear a top end scream. Really enjoying seeing the small victories.

[@Abrothers100]

Sounds amazing. When you get the air box done, make a 20 minute of rip roaring through back roads with nothing but gear changes and that wonderful sound... would be a great video!

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

Truly the best sounding 308, it sound like a proper ferrari v8, shame there isnt more like that

[@MrCarrera28]

No PJs :) At 5:27 "It still doesn't quite have that sort of ummm, I don't know what to call it..." Perhaps the words you are looking for are Banshee Scream of a Flat Plane Crank V8 at high revs? Really loving seeing the palpable excitement build as the car gets closer to your dream, had me considering taking my car out for a drive just to savor its exhaust noise hahaha

[@Number27]

Ha!! Thanks as always for following my stuff!

[@GB-vn1tf]

Once the induction is done it'll sound much better, I'm sure of that. Get the carbs set up and it'll rev much faster I think. Looking forward to that.

[@icmdead1]

It's great to see you grinning ear to ear on those downshifts!

[@Andy-From-England]

WOW thats one sexy exhaust note all way through the line

[@martinhogg5337]

Sounds great! You were right to persevere!

[@alnwill]

I just love the Giulia -my first car back in '78. Great show!

[@nigelbullock9039]

That's it. You weren't going mad... It now sounds like a Ferrari. Great to see and hear at last.

[@gethinjones8992]

yum yum yum yum the INFUENZO sounds delicious 😊 its great to see the joy on yore face when driving it thats what having a project car is all about 👍

[@rickc2102]

You're really making this beautiful thing a true thing of beauty! No idea why 15 people gave a dislike; I guess everyone gets their handful of haters.

[@Number27]

Thanks Rick!

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, we should be thanking you, great car now with a great soundtrack.

[@wjohnsonism]

@7:30 on...absolutely perfect tone. You could really here it roar like an animal.

[@tomblatch1594]

Great result......snap,crackle,pop....full Rice Krispies spec.

[@lucasvonheiz1310]

It sounds bloody great clearly à step up and i was 100% with you about the "4 cylinder sound". Now it sounds brilliant

[@ConquerDriving]

Sounds epic!

[@timothyrogstad5577]

Really enjoying your journey. Once again ,made up for you. Crack on!

[@superchargedv8993]

Can’t wait to see the carbs and steering rack DIY - will be soooo interesting! 👍

[@liamtownshend7726]

Sounds awesome now ! Grin factor is there I see ! Chuffed for you

[@maxwellbricks7202]

Good TIG welders always produce art!

[@ash20500]

Sounds awesome. Finally got there!

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

Certainly sounds more Ferrari now Jack I think the sound your after is when it sounds like it’s singing back at you 😍🙏🏻🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@EvertPieterseArt]

That sounds like music! I am glad the uneven length headers has had the desired effect.

[@Number27]

Thanks Evert!!!

[@rushmeres]

Loving that exhaust sound absolutely perfection to my ears!

[@scoobyking555cm]

Much better mate, it's actually got an exhaust note to go with the car 👍👍👍👍👍🏁

[@brianweekes1]

that expression! haha, you're happy and I sense your excitement. Sounds so good now

[@dosgos]

Worth the persistence. Ryan really pulled all the stops here. He's gonna get swamped by work globally.

[@randomsurfer3963]

It definitely sounds purposeful now, it was sounding a bit feeble with the previous exhaust. Finally there is some emotion in the sound..Well done

[@rhettcorcoran2879]

Happy days indeed, really pleased for you and us, it sounds like a Ferrari at last.

[@Number27]

It does!! Thanks Rhett

[@brendanjburns2969]

It sound, brilliant, a lovely gurgle and snort when you change gear and open her up, 👍👍❤️

[@johnrigby247]

Great stuff - that must be one of the best sounding 308s I've heard. Chuffed to see progress is still being made with the handling also.

[@Number27]

Thank you John!

[@davidharris5849]

sound is so important, changes everything, I put a lot into my exhaust, and I think yours has that lovely purposeful on/off gas pick up, 'pleased I'm not the only person who wants it right☺

[@JerryMotorsport]

Oh yes! That exhaust is sounding really good. Can hear more cylinders now; I’m afraid it did use to sound like four-pot to me. Really singing through the pipe now.

[@robblair3703]

There it is. That's the sound. Nice work.

[@Zsanky]

Sounds awesome, feels like I’ve been waiting for an update for ages 😄

[@Fintoman]

It really does sound so much better.

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

Sounds awesome! Time to WD40 that “Go-Go” pedal though, me thinks. 😉

[@Number27]

Absolutely!! Was thinking the same thing as I played it back!
