Please advise; Can you install bypass pipes with
the Euro exhaust on a 360 Modena coupe?

My 575 came with Tubi which improved exhaust sound significantly but still doesn't sound as good as my 360 euro with stock euro exhaust but otherwise is a dream and I love the F1.

Shelbee,

Mine has the standard exhaust, no Tubi. I'd be interested in hearing a Tubi car, as well.

Thanks Eli,

It's an 02 with 1600 miles.

It feels "tighter" on the sport mode, much stiffer suspension and firm in turning. Good when you have wet road.

Much looser and lighter with normal mode.

I might take delivery on a spyder by next week or two, working on the deal now :-)

Does yours have tubi, how do you like it with tubi on with top down or with soft top on??

Always sport mode unless its the first five minutes of driving time or the road I am driving on is really rough. I wish they would separate the mode switches into one for the suspension and one for the tranny.

if I read the manual correctly, the sport mode does not really work until you are over 5,000 rpm's. I may be wrong. As for myself, I drive in the normal mode around town and sport at the track.

Drive in both modes and become proficient in each setting. There will be times (driving through cities, rough roads, potholes, etc) where you'd want the softer normal suspension setting to save your neck and lower back. I usually refrain from using sport mode until I've cleared city/ suburban traffic.

I am just curious if most F1 drivers use the "Sport" mode. I just took delivery of my new 360 Spider on Tuesday, and I have been playing with both settings. I haven't driven it much, but it seems to shift more smoothly in the normal setting. However, is there less clutch wear in the "Sport" setting? Should I forget about normal mode and practice becoming smoother in "Sport" mode? Thanks for your feedback.
