How to get INSANE ferrari/gt3 exhaust note? Tubi Style?
Ok sorry for the clickbait title, but now that youre here...
I love the high pitch wail you get with a tubi style exhaust but its really hard to find used examples for the 997.1 (mufflers).
Does anyone know if there's a cheaper way to achieve the ferrari/gt3 like sound?
Most 997.1 exhaust options have a rumble to it...I'm looking for more of a flat plane crank, hollow, wail noise in the upper revs:

alot of it is intake noise over exhaust- If you are looking for the wail you'll want a fabspeed intake, IPD plenum, equal length headers, and xpipe, with tubi mufflers.
That will get you as close to the gt3 wail as you can get without a gt3.

A flat plane crank engine makes nice sound for sure, but it is not exotic engineering, after all a Ford Mustang GT350 has a flat plane crank. I think the Yamaha R1 had it 10-15 years ago too. And the coming Corvette ZR1 and ??Z06 are also suppose to have it. Nothing wrong with a Corvette or Mustang per se, but hardly exotic since they are mass market and not incredibly over priced based on performace.

The only Porsche I have owned that had that sound over the years was my CGT.
This is an excerpt from the below article:
One of the keys to the smooth revs of Ferrari’s engine sounds is the flat-plane design of their motors. The Ferrari 458 Italia, for instance, features a V8 with flat-plane (180-degree) crankshaft that alternates between cylinder banks, giving it smooth, resonant sound, while V8s that use a cross-plane crankshaft (as most American V8 engines do) typically sound crude in comparison.

Take a listen and tell me the flat plane crank doesn’t change everything when it comes to sound.

When I had my NSX I went through about 6 exhausts in 10 years trying to replicate Ferrari's exotic sound. Even though it redlined at 8000, could not get that sound.

My 360 with a tubi style exhaust has the best sound I’ve ever heard come out of a car that I’ve owned. I love rolling the window down just to listen to the intake noise mix in with everything else. The radio in that car is terrible but it doesn’t matter as I barely use it

Most inline 4 engines have a flat plane crank. Put 2 inline 4s together in a V setup with a flat plane crank and you can have a higher revving engine which is inherently louder than a cross plane crank and make more power with the higher rpm potential. You're right, you can't get that $60k exotic Ford GT350(or Ferrari) sound without a flat plane crank. And I actually have no idea what Ferrari does to their engines and also really don't care.
