I'll be the National meet with a 360 Tubi for comparison to whatever shows up. Look for a silver Spider with Florida plates.

I just spend 2685.9 miles as a passenger in a FUCHS equipped 360 in the Players Run. Everybody with a camera always wanted us to step on it when we went by. I wonder why...
Just wait for the videos.

MAN! That Fuchs exhaust really does sound F1. I have to have one. Oh, wait. Maybe I need a 360 first. The build quality looks fantastic too.

Just for clarification on Viken's post relating to the videos, the "driveby" and "quick launch" videos demo the Fuchs exhaust -- the "twisties" video illustrates the sound of the stock exhaust on a '99 360.

Brian, John has a 360 w/ a Fuchs in Dallas, it sounds awesome. So we have the makings of a 'bake off' in DFW w/ stock vs Fuchs...

Not mine but, here's a friend's car with the Fuchs. His is a '99 and is a bit louder than the later models. But, the sound is pretty much the same.

I have a brand new ANSA Sport for the 360 M for sale at a very modest price if anyone is interested.

Sorry to interrupt this thread with this but I thought someone here might be interested.

The 360 pictured in my profile is not my actual car. I just got my 03 coupe last month and I havent had chance to get a digital picture of it yet. I posted that picture because it had the wheels that I liked best for the car on it which actually just got put on yesterday. I know a lot of you probably aren't fans of putting after market wheels on your ferraris but i ordered my car originally with the modular wheel and those are just plain ugly. I also had the RM Racing intake installed on my car. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.

I've got to defend the fort here. I'm available to demonstrate my 360 with a Tubi in Orange or LA county. I still think it is better quality and (subjectively) better sounding than the competition, but I am highly biased as you know. I have yet to see a 360 owner remove his Tubi, but two of my best 360 buddies (both of them on this forum) installed a Fuchs and removed them shortly after.

Brian- I could not agree with you more. I am holding off on my choice between Fuchs, Tubi and Ansa. Maybe throw in a Challenge System as well! I'm all ears for any thoughts!! I am supposed to hear a Tubi with test pipes this weekend.

>> I just had the Fuchs exhaust installed on my 360 and it sounds incredible but the tips are not centered very well in the grills like they are supposed to be. Has anyone had this trouble with the Fuchs? Is the unit itself bent of defective? <<

George,

Unlike the Tubi, the Fuchs exhaust has brackets which allow for tip adjustment. In fact, you can fine tune the exact placement of the tips within the opening.

FYI, I believe Fuch is the manufacturer for CarGraphic as well. I have this on my 550, and I like the sound a LOT better than Tubi, as many here know...

Brian, your bake-off idea is a good one! I volunteer to be a "test listener & passenger"!!!

I think its time for a 360 exhaust bake-off. Stock vs. ANSA vs. Fuchs vs. Tubi vs. ???

Ideally, we'd fine one of each reasonably near each other so we can get them all in one place, record them with the same setup, and then post the comparable sound clips. Maybe we could coordinate that at the FCA Annual Meet?

Next best would be to have an owner of each who can all use a common recording setup/procedure.

Barring that, perhaps we can setup meetings in pairs... A vs B in Phoenix, A vs C in New Jersey, B vs D in Dallas, C vs D in LA.

But those of us delaying exhaust purchase primarily due to having more choices than data... its really frustrating... such a set of online would be awesome. Any takers?

I can provide a stock sound in the Dallas area.

George, is that your 360 pictured in your profile? Is that a modified hood... hard to tell whether its a reflection or what... but it looks F50-esque. Is it? How about some pics from a bit higher and more forward?

I bought the Fuchs from a place in Florida called Fuchs USA. I know thats not the name of the buisness because they dont answer the phone under that name but thats what they are listed as in Forza. There phone # is 1-954-781-7116. I bought the system for my 360 for $3725 and then it was about $150 to ship it.

George,

I live in the UK but had imported in a F348 GTS with FUCHS exhuast from Germany. The car sadley got written off in one hour of onwing it. The exhaust sound is absolute amazing. I think better than a Tubi, its like a F1 sound. I have been trying to buy a FUCHS exhuast for some time.
Where did you buy our FUCHS exhaust from.
How much ???

No, you can align the muffler/tips via the mounting bolts... they have some play for precisely this reason. I have/had the same problem with the Tubi at first.
