Last night I installed a tubi on my 360, and it took about four hours. I was able to install the tubi without removing the rear bumber. I removed the airbox, and worked from inside the car. It was tight, and most of the job was removing the stock muffler. Once the stock muffler was out it was simple. Sounds very nice |

There are quite a few variables regarding the 360 Tubi. First of all, Tubi themselves have at least two versions, one much louder but they don't like to seel it. Second, the 99 360's are a bit different and a little louder than the 00 and 01's since these have pre-cats. I am now told that the 02's are louder again. Go figure !
In any case the 355 intake sound and high pitch shriek does not exist with any 360 no matter what exhaust you use. Overall I think the Tubi 355 is mouch louder (as in db's) when compared to any Tubi 360. My 2c. |

How loud is a Tubi exhaust on a 360? How does the volume compare to a stock 355 for instance? |

I guess my message must have never got to them, I just filled out their online contact thing. It's been a couple weeks. They saw my message here and emailed me with a very good price. I would recommend that anyone looking for Tubi products contact them. I'm still not sure if I'll make the change, but if I go with Tubi it'll be with them. |

Chris, did you fill out the form when you click on the banner ad? The best way to reach them would be the 800 number listed on the banner ad (1-866-364-5438). Someone should call and post the price as a comparison. Yes, Nick's has Tubi's too.
u12buy is not a sponsor, but I believe in a free market and the best price wins. |

I am still looking into the Koenig exhaust for my TR, but did a little searching for Fuchs. I found this site that had a some video of a 355 with one installed. Let me know what the diffrence is between stock and Tubi and this Fuchs. http://www.carpassion.com/en/ferrari/f355/f355spider.php |

There is no significant HP increase by changing to either the Tubi or the Fuchs. If anything, you might feel a slight decrease in bottom-end torque and a slight increase in HP at high rpm's. This is typical of a free-flow exhaust on a normally aspirated car. |

Check with Nick at www.nicksforzaferrari.com (another FC sponsor) I picked mine up from him and it was the best price around. |

>> Better fit than a Tubi??? <<
Yes, I agree with Steve Will. I did a lot of research before I bought the Fuchs for my car. There is quite a difference between the two especially in terms of alignment of the tips. Read all about it here:

You might look into an exhaust made in Germany by Fuchs. There is a distributor in California. I'll get you a name and phone. Haven't seen one in person but there supposed to be better quality and fit than a Tubi and reasonably priced. |

The cheapest I have seen is on www.u12buy.com. I bought the Tubi exhaust, cat pipes, and filters from there with no problems, and much much cheaper than anywhere I have seen in the US.
