Well here's a DIY I made for a guy who wants to remove the exhaust valve for his V8 Vantage so that it's always open. Vids at the bottom...
Videos. The first one is high-quality and was taken after the valves were already opened. The revving is light, so don't expect any action. Those familiar with Ferraris will notice the different tone in the idle. It sounds a little 'dirtier' but I like it a lot more. More aggressive. It definitely resembles the more aggressive note of the NGT car now.
The second video was taken with a cell phone, so the quality is low. The audio quality flat-out sucks. However, you can hear the difference when I remove the connector for the vacuum switch, which was the point of that video.
