This may sound a little odd, but despite having a F355 with a Tubi exhaust for several years, I only very recently discovered the absolutely extraordinary effect tunnels have on the noise.

It really was an undescribeable and utterly joyous sensation. I hadn't planned for it or prepared the car in anyway, by way of gear selection or revs. High gear and low revs.

I also received a pleasurable vibration in the cabin as the sound waves bounced around.

Intend fully now to try and map out where tunnels are locally.

Some tunnel videos and screaming engines would be nice............

You're right, that does sound odd smile.

Heathrow service tunnels are pretty good ears

Just watch your wheels as they are a tad narrow!
