I don't think your car will ever sound exactly like a Ferrari.

The sound most Ferraris make comes from their engine. They sound like a superfast, souped-up sewing machine. I highly doubt any exhaust will change your sound. I think the reason they sound that way is they're high-revving engines, most of their V8s are only like 3-4L where American V8s are much larger.

This is just my theory as to why I think those cars sound the way they do.

However, my Magnaflow does sound somewhat "exotic" when I'm around 75 MPH and punch the throttle, if that helps any.

i agree...try the magnaflow...

sound has alot to do with displacement, and number of cylinders.

and according to some people...firing order...not sure bout that one

Dynomax Mufflers! I have the Dynomax Magnum Racing muffler on my car and it sounds really good. I've have people tell me it has that Italian sports car sound. Very smooth. It's a high flow muffler. You can see right through it.
I had a Flomaster but I didn't like the deep throaty hole in the muffler sound. so I changed it. It was too loud inside the car for me as well.

Personally I think Corsa is closest to the sound your looking for. At least from the sound clips I heard. Havn't heard one in person yet.

I'd try Corsa with premium tips if you got the cash. Otherwise I'd go with magnaflow like most others are suggesting.

A camaro isn't supposed to sound like a ferrari... A camaro is supposed to sound like a Camaro.

I would look into corsa or B&B tri flow. Check out their websites they have small clips you can hear.

I have a Magnaflow exhaust and it sounds deep and fat. It doesn't sound anything like an exotic. I know Corsa makes a system for the Corvette called the "Touring Edition" that is supposed to sound more exotic than deep and rumbly. No idea if they make one like that for the F-body.
