Thanks for your advice.

Have you thought of getting a low restriction air filter? That should give you even more power.

I am planning on the Tubi when I take my car in for the 30K service in a few months.

HI,
I AM AN OWNER OF TESTAROSSA 1984 AND IT HAS THE SAME HORSE POWER OF YOURS 1990.ACTAULLY I INSTALL STEBRO STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH COMPLETE PIPING FROM HEADERS WITH NO CATLIST SYSTEM.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE SOUND I GET OF IT AS YOU CAN HEAR LIKE FOR SUZUKI BIKES DRIVING TOGETHER:):):).
AS PERFORMANCE I THINK IT IS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE AS I FEEL THE DIFFERANCE.I THINK I GAIN ONE MORE SECOND FROM 0 TO 100.AND ALSO,AT NIGHT I HAVE SOME FIRE CAME OUT OF THE TIPS THAT WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM 3 GEAR TO THE 2 THAT AFRAID ANY BODY THINK TO PASS ME:):):).
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT TUBI OR ANSA OR EVEN BORLA BUT IF YOU ASK ME WHAT FITS TESTAROSSA THEN I RECOMMEND STEBRO.AND NOT EXPENSIVE COMPARED TO TUBI!!!!.

Is it my imagination or if William had his way, everyone would be driving a 512TR? Come to think of it, if there was only one choice of Ferrari that would work just fine with me. :)

Michael LOL, getting greedy now aren't we ? Why dont u remove 1 intercooler & turbo off your airplane & strap it on the TR ? :) LOL
Actually, why dont u look up the exact differences in injection system etc between the 512TR & TR then u could just have yours updated. Although, while your at it, why not just get a 512TR ?
See u in DC :)

Guys,

I am interested in getting 400 Plus HP out of my 1990 TR. Right now it is stock (380 hp at 4750 and according to the manual 390 hp @6750). I have heard stories that the Tubi exhaust really only increases torque but not really horsepower. Is this true?

I am not interested in breaking down the engine and doing a lot of stuff -- I just want something that puts me in the 400 Plus club without rearranging the insides. BTW, I live in a quiet neighborhood so the cat off stuff isn't really an option. Any ideas?

Thanks for your suggestions.
