    I was wondering if anyone might be aware of a place that has the F40 Tubi LM pipes in stock? Tubi USA said that the last set was just sold so there's at least a 30 day wait.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'm trying to get a few things coordinated. I'm pretty close to finalizing the deal on an F40. If that does pan out, the car would be delivered directly to service to make sure everything's as it should be. While it's there, I'm going to have a set of Hyper-Flow cat's installed and I was hoping to cover the LM pipes at the same time. Where taking the car to service always proves to be a logistical nightmare, I'm trying to reduce the pain as much as possible :-/ .

    I enjoyed hunting 'your' F40 down...........I think that I have a connection through a friend, whose brother works for Tubi in Italy. I'll see what I can do. But I WILL hold the LM pipes for ransome! Talk to you later.......

    If you have to wait the 30 days then you can always bolt it on yourself when it comes in, easy as pie. You don't have to put the car up on a lift or anything, it's all right there at the back of the car.

    Dino...I definitely owe you a huge "thank you"...and if you can come through with the LM pipes on top of it all, I'll be eternally grateful...keep me posted. I believe ransom on LM pipes is an acceptable, and necessary evil ;-) .

    Craig...I was wondering if that might be the case. If I can get them in time, I figured the installation would be a "freebie" when the cats go on. But it's good to know that it's also a DIY project if need be :) .

    Stinger, try Rutlands, they a 2 about a month ago. I change the pipes on my car regularly. It takes about 20 minutes.

    Steve: You thought that the stealer was going to give you something as a freebie?!!?? Surely, you need to take your temperature this morning. If there is one thing I have learned in working with 'authorized' dealers, its that there will be a charge for everything! and never cheap!

    Aaah...that was my master plan. I figured when they removed the SuperSport system to change the cats, I'd just swap them for the LM pipes when no one was looking. Although, come to think of it, I do feel a bit warm ;-) .

    Warren...thanks for the lead. I tried Rutlands but they were out as well...but they did have a set a few weeks back.

    Pipes sound awesome and are a must. I also did mine as soon as I bought my car. You should also swithch to 18" wheels and big brakes. photo attached

    Hehe...it's like you read my mind. I've got a short list of mods I'd like to do...wheels and brakes are definitely on it...just lower priority than the exhaust at the moment ;-) .

    My apologies for resurfacing an old thread...but I'm still trying to track down a set of LM pipes. I managed to push back the service until next week, but according to Michigan, they're still not sure when Tubi will have any units available. If anyone has any new leads, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
