The motor is a complete mess.The car is a close clone but then you open the hood and it looks like garbage.Nice fake but to rich for my blood.Why have it look fast if it's not.All that work and he leaves in the V6.I looked into these years ago,but could not get financing for a "Kit Car". The one I was looking at was a Testarossa for $19800.....

The Ferrari is ALOT cheaper to do..the interior needs less work than a Lambo.The Lambo interior kit is around $3500-$5500 and the Ferrari kit is about half that.

What kind of exhaust can you install that makes a V6 sound like a V12?

You can't make a V-6 or V-8 sound like a V-12 because they will not
meet the rpms a V-12 can turn.But you can make it sound similiar with
crossover headers and trying different mufflers.with crossover headers you make the exhaust scavenge in order,so it makes a different sound than regular headers and it will also make more horsepower in high rpms.
Small block chevy firing order is 18436572. # 1 side is 1357 #2 side is 2468.that is the order the exhaust is scavenged on each regular header.
With crossover headers,#1 side will scavenge 1843.#2 side will scavenge 6572.this is where the different sound comes from,since the exhaust is scavenged in the firing order.

Buy the clone, its cheaper and the only people you have to fool is the hotties. It looks pretty nice to me, then again Im a hillbilly anything that gets you from point a to point b is a nice car.
