The sound levels for cars in the U.S. are a joke when you compare them to a Harley. |

EC noise limit for new cars is 74dB in their drive-by test....!!! (what a joke - I can sing louder than that) - That's why the 360 is near silent until the valves open and then it makes the the gargling sound..... (ignore me guys - like Tino, I'm biased!) |

I understand the reason Tubi is not OEM has to do with Europeon (and maby USA) noise standards. Thats why there is what I call a "Lawyers Stamp" on the Tubi that says "For competition only". |

The Tubi on the 360 ought to be a standard fit option...
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but after hearing a Tubi, the stock 360 sounds like a tin with a spoon rattling around inside it.
Put simply, the Tubi on the 360 is AWESOME and that's not hyperbole either. |

Ran my Spider 3000 miles with stock exhaust and 7000 with Tubi. Agree with Albert although I use mine as a daily driver and love the "drone". It also has a great popping and growling sound on the overruns. I do however avoid early morning runs through my neighorhood to maintain friendly relationships (and personnel saftey!). |

I had one installed 3 months ago. At idle, it has more low end and sounds awesome. At WOT, it sounds much like the original but louder - much louder. There is some resonance at around 2000-2500 rpm and can be annoying if it was a daily driver but for a weekend car, it's great. I have also noticed better response - may be psychological though. |

Unlike a normal 360 you can hear one with a Tubi at idle, it does sound closer to a 355. I've never done any testing, but under power I'd guess it's maybe 30% louder.
Is it worth it? Tough call, they're not cheap but a lot of guys have them.

Its more bassy at idle, and lets it scream more at high rpm. Ive never been in a 360 with one, but ive heard them. noticeably different at idle, i sort of forgot how it sounds at WOT though. |

Hi, is the Tubi exost for the 360 mouch louder?how much louder? 20 30 50% is the sound more as the 355 or it keeps the metal sound of the original 360 exost. Is it worth the money? |
