INSANE Exhaust And ECU Upgrade! Modifying My Ferrari

After nearly 3 years of searching, I have finally found, purchased and had an official Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale exhaust fitted to my 360 Modena! The results are simply outrageous.
In addition to the incredible new soundtrack, the team at AV Engineering have gone a step further to improve my car. They have been working closely with 360Trev, whose car I drove at the end of last year, to extract and manipulate Ferrari ECUs. They have applied a custom upgrade to my car which positions it somewhere between a Challenge Stradale and an actual Challenge race car in terms of drive-ability. Power is also up around 30-40hp!
All in all the car feels completely different and in my mind, is pretty much the perfect 360 Modena.
I cannot continue to recommend AV Engineering highly enough. The work they have done to my car over the last 2 years has made it one of the best examples in the world:

So great to have so proper content back, and the 360 too, sounds epic.

[@seenthroughglass]

So excited to be back filming outdoors!

[@Danny_Transition_Patrol]

Seen Through Glass I bet it is, let’s hope the world can get back to normal soon. Stay safe Sam.

[@jjasmay]

Agreed

[@jcooper0818]

Sam. You've cocked it all up. That "are you ready, let's do this" WAS THE PERFECT OPENING FOR YOUR TRAILER VIDEO!!!

[@deltaecho8968]

Your excitement says it all Sam!

[@joshlewis5536]

Holey cow, what a noise! Jeez, loving the originality of the 360 modena. Not many youtubers like yourself who have kept the very same paint in immaculate condition and let her bark like she does. And that ECU upgrade you have done wow i didn't think anything like that would suite a car like the 360 but how responsive she now is, is crazy all i can say is well done on having the best 360's ive ever seen or even heard. Respect brother!

[@earlsnapp5209]

Amazing sound notes from your beautiful Ferrari 360 Modena, Sam...cheers

[@Rosinka06]

It sounds so good that I'm getting goosebumps just from hearing it through my phone speakers. Oh how it would feel to drive it. Props to you Sam!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

That sounds fantastic. I’ve just put a custom exhaust on my V8 S5 and whilst not remotely in the same league as this, it’s transformed the car. It sounds glorious and now sounds like what a V8 car should.

[@MrTorsvik]

This made me so happy!! I almost cried. what a dream car this is!!!

[@StuartRiley23]

I’m pleased for you! You’ve got the car of your dreams, and you’re making it better than new. The tone of that exhaust is heavenly. Worth the long wait and hunt, and such a more tasteful noise than Pauls straight-piped Murci.

[@magnustan841]

Like your mate Tony has said before “can’t take it on track, you’ll get kicked off”. So please keep it on the road, Sam and enjoy it! Sounds mega!

[@pete0560]

Really happy for you Sam, I love your 360, and I enjoyed seeing the latest mods. Seeing you maintain and modify your 360 makes me want to create a plan and work towards doing mods on my pride and joy. 👍👍🚗

Congrats Sam sounds unbelievably good

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

Very impressed.... subtle mods always work better!

[@raymondwong1954]

Trev’s a great guy! He also helped me with my 360. The CS exhaust sounds great! Aggressive yet you can still hear intake sound. I have 200 cel cat and the iPE exhaust which is basically a cherry bomb style, no resonating chamber. It is a bit too loud for me now and I miss hearing those subtle intake sound. I think the CS with sport cat might be the perfect balance.

[@Ninakoklahombi]

Congratulations Sam! Sounds amazing. I have the Ferrari bug bad and this isn't helping lol. Enjoy!

[@ButtonsTaru]

Gorgeous sound, such a classy beautiful car!

[@focus550]

I much prefer the noise of that engine revving to 9K than a GT3. That V8 has so much character with the CS exhaust, it's a shame it was never allowed to sing like that from the factory.

[@OldManOnTrak]

Those Surrey roads are great, aren't' they? That camouflaged 765LT reminds me of the time years ago when I spotted what I later learned was an MP4/12C in a little village close to Woking. I was about to take a picture when a bloke in an unmarked van popped his head out and asked me not to :-)

Awesome stuff Sam! You should have a chat to Mr Ratarossa who has a 360 thats been fully converted to a CS. Your car is epic already though. :)

[@ReinierLindenbergh]

apart from Sam needing a tunnel, i think the car would look even more sick with some carbon/black parts and maybe a body kit, and other wheels. Sam do it and i know you want it.

Well Sam you won't be selling this Ferrari anytime soon with that NA sound. With sharper throttle response particularly at lower RPM's how do find the traction from standstill, or acceleration from low speed corners. Does it break traction very easily...

As for the weight difference, well you have carbon seats and sports exhaust now so that's already a significant portion of the CS weight saved right there.

The 360 could indeed be specified when new with this exact optional racing style exhaust (only later fitted to the CS) so you could say all Sam did was retrofit an option from the original parts list like the first owner had the choice to do.
