the f1 system is just a fancy system with a switch to give u the equivalent of straight pipes. It sounds good, but in no way will u get the sound of a Ferrari. Exhaust sound has much more to do with the design of the engine. Like cylinder size, bore/stroke, rpm, pathway for airflow, etc... IMHO cylinder and head design have the most influence on "type" of sound, like pitch and rhythm. Where as exhaust design deals with volume and some frequency tuning. An engine is a big air pump, similar to a woodwind sax or or brass trumpet. It's just a complicated musical instrument. The exhaust can't add anything that isn't generated by the engine. It can only tune out unwanted frequencies, and volume.
