Tubi or Not Tubi - that is the question

Don't listen to women when it comes to cars!

 

I have to honestly say that you should drive the car first before you do anything . I believe the stock 430 exhaust is great sounding as is . If after driving yours you still think you need a tubi , then have at it . I haven't heard a 430 tubi , but i'm confident it also sounds great . There was a review in the 8/15/05 Autocar that spoke glowingly about the exhaust note of the 430 spider . You may want to reference that ,fwiw.

 

It seems like you like the tips? The tips are available seperately from what I remember. Perhaps a compromise that shall keep the man and woman happy. Imagine that

 

I have a Tubi exhaust system on my 360 spider. I listened to the standard, Capristo and Tubi - the Tubi was by far the best. I am also surprised at the lack of resonance while driving with the top down, however, you will continually hear (and enjoy) the engine sounds.

I have no experience with the sounds on the 430, so they may be completely different. The solution is really to listen to all of your options first and than make your decision.

Tubi does make just the exit valves and tips, thinking getting them myself.

 

Tell her to get the tubi, if she doesnt like it, ill take the car off your hands.

 

I pulled up some old invoices and we've sold just the Tips with valves and without valves.

The price is $3,100 for the tips with the valve.

$1,985 for the tips without the valve.

Availability:1-2 weeks.

Note that these are authentic Tubi, we buy all our Tubi from authorized dealers only.

Kevin

 

Get the Tubi exhaust without the valves. Don't just get the tips. The stock sound on the F430 is great. The Tubi sound is well... awesome.

Is this current pricing and availability?
You know Fathers Day is coming!

 

I highly highly recommend you having the dealer disconnect the valves and fix the secondaries open 100% of the time.
I'm 52 and do not like obnixous loud, loved my 360 Tubi and love the OEM 430 exhaust. THey got it right out of the box!!
The tips (visual) are another issue however.

 

Silverbullet - out of idle curiosity, do you know anyone by the username of deeroff?

deeroff also just happens to be waiting for a yet-to-arrive 430.

Did you just happen to have joined because you

Yeah, well, hey - methinks Clive nailed it. After all,

YOU BOTH JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE THE SAME IP ADDRESS.

 

Oh God.. here we go again!

 

I'm getting the loud one they make and hope to have it right after June 1st. The stock exhaust sound is really a lot better than the 355 or 360 stock. The low idle is too quiet for me but running down the road at speed is good. I hate the cheap look of the tips on the stock unit. The tubi will be a big visual improvement and I like the loud sound. When I want a ride in a MB that is quiet I will take out the 600sl if the thing will start and run.
My vote is do want the wife wants since it's her car.

 

Silverbullet is my brother - not surprising we share a name. Gotta give your brother some support, no?

Fact is the other guys are way off base. Interestingly, they won't take the challenge but keep digging and spinning. Seems they have a bunch of time on their hands to flame him, but won't stand up to the challenge. We are both passionate about cars - and he has access I don't have and vice versa.

 

I see, so your brother's wife is getting a 430, and so are you.

And you all live together, just like on DALLAS.

Makes perfect sense now.

BTW, YOU were the one getting "flamed."

I'm off to bed, have fun, kids!

Wow, I love the muffler box too.
Could you kindly estimate how much louder your tubis are over stock at idle, cruising and WOT?

 

Good night Jimbob

 

So you collectively have a Porsche Carrera GT, a Range Rover and 2 430s but you can't afford a 2nd computer? Or maybe you don't have enough power sockets in the trailer you all share?

It's interesting that your post starts in the 1st person, and continues in the 3rd person, are you writing these responses together? I suggest you ask Silverbullet to get off your lap as I understand that level of intimacy between siblings is only tolerated in the more rural parts of "The Deep South"!

I've enjoyed reading your posts Deeroff, both here and on 6speed, I particularly enjoyed these 2:

I can see why you're so important to the dealer with a buying history like yours!

And here's the other gem you posted, but this time on 6speed:

Maybe you could share your "buying experiences" when purchasing executive jets, super-yachts and Caribbean Islands, as I know many of us can't wait to be educated as to what life is like in "the fast lane", or is it "life under the bridge with all the other Trolls"?

 

Come on Clive, let it go. You've totally decimated this guy's credibility before. Now you're stomping on an already squashed pile of worms .

Cheers!

 

I just picked up my 430 yesterday and had the dealer install the GTC exhaust....to be perfectly honest, I'm still mixed on the sound.

It's all so different from the 360 that I'm not sure if I just need to get used to the 430, the Tubi, or both, but it's VERY bassy....doesn't have that screech that our 360 with Tubi+test pipes has, and certainly sounds nothing like the classic Ferrari 355 sound that I love. We'll see.....I need to hear a stock exhaust and a regular tubi before i pass final judgement.

Either way, the system & tips look hot....

You would prefer to have deeroff still telling of his "experiences" with F430's, etc?

As far as I'm concerned if deeroff continues to post unsupported claims he deserves what he gets.

Bravo Clive!

 

if you know they are one on the same how come both user names are still active?
is it OK for one user to have multiple accounts?
are the ip addresses he has used for access going to be monitored in the future?

did you see the emoticon he used? i think you are in agreement.
