Is there any particular reason why so many F40's have modified exhausts (compared to the other supercars)? It isn't like the stock system doesn't sound great on it's own. It just seems a shame to alter these incredible cars.
288's were modified with Ansa trumpets. F40's with Tubi style. Some people always want to "improve" or "individualize" their car. Or leave their own fingerprint. Marcel Massini
I'm not a fan of mods as is well-known, however these are what I would refer to as an improvement if the car is driven regularly. If you've driven these cars both with and without the sports exhausts, you'll find that the Ansa trumpets on the GTO and the Tubi units (sport exhaust or LM pipes) on the F40 do have some benefits besides noise for the drivers that use them in a spirited manner. I found that the car came on the boost a bit quicker making it a bit more tractable in normal driving situations, and although you can't measure this in most cases, the cars felt more responsive and this enhanced the driving experience. The aggressive tuned sound those units emit contributes to an undeniably more visceral driving experience. As a bonus, the cars ran a bit cooler in warm climates like California. FWIW all this is essentially true of other makes & models of the era, even the normally aspirated V12 ones such as Lamborghini's Countach.
