Terry, if the SS has turned a yellow/light brown color it is not due to rust. It is due to too much heat. Your car is probably running too lean causing the excess heat which causes the SS to turn a yellow/light brown color. Check your plugs to see if you're not running too lean and correct accordingly. |

Mine has been on for 5 years and about 15K miles. It still appears new as well. |

Terry, Yes, like almost all established exhaust manufacturers, Tubi offers a one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. |

Its definitely a Tubi. It has the Tubi emblem welded onto it.... it look exactly like the Tubi in pictures from suppliers and I have the original receipt from where it was purchased. 100% positive its a Tubi muffler.... I guess they offer no warranty ? |

Terry, Are you sure your's is really a TUBI?? Is it marked Tubi? I've had mine for four years and it still looks and sounds BRAND NEW! Maybe you have a Borla..?? Gary

Slightly off topic..... but I have a tubi on my '77 308GTB. It was installed by the prior owner in 1996 so its about 7 years old. It appears very worn. The stainless steel does shine and can be polished out, but still maintains an undertone of rust color. It also emits sounds when shaked like its got rusty metal inside it. Im suspecting it of being close to worn out. Anyone know if tubi offered any kind of warranty on the products?

Jason, Th main importers are in Michigan, two brothers own and run the company (tubistyle usa), Franc and Lou Yarde. Great people who will help you with any technical question you may have. They do not deal with end users but distribute thru dealers, mostly Ferrari dealers and some independants like us (MENSI). The main corporate website in Italy is www.tubistyle.it. The USA website is www.tubistyleusa.com, but it is not ready yet. Many dealers have their own website; ours has just been readied, mostly for our launch of the Corvette C5 unit. Ferrari and other makes will follow. You can check it at www.mensilift.com/tubi. I would also be glad to help you with any questions you may have; just click on the above FChat sponsor's banner. |

Jason, I have got it now: If you want to diplay the whole italian Tubi Site in english just type in: www.tubistyleusa.com The official importeur of Tubi for the US is in Michigan. Click first point in their main menue and then go for "Commerical department" and choose the US. Adress will appear then! Hoped that helped a bit. Con saluti cordialissimi, Jens Haller |

Jason, www.tubistyle.com is the official Site of Tubi. Since I am in Europe I don�t know anything about US importeurs. Nevertheless I am pretty sure you can get to know over their homepage. There surely is a dealer locator or contact form. Just surf, it�s a nice site. Con saluti cordialissimi, Jens Haller |

Is there an American importer? I know of a few companies that sell Tubi exhausts, but I would like to get in contact with the manufacturer if possible. I've been searching online for awhile and have found nothing. Does anyone have a phone number, email address, physical address, or URL of the actual Tubi exhaust company? TIA! Jason- |
