    Neither one. X-OST Maranello with Hyper Flow Cats. I posted a sound clip after I had them installed if you search you should be able to find it in this forum. Just saw you don't have cats so you just need the muffler. That should save you $1500 or so over what I paid. I think the audio link daniel has on the page below is of my car.

    i agree w/ the post above...if you did not get an x-ost system, you would simply be wasting money!

    the x-ost is as good or better quality and the sound will make your knees weak.

    STOP EVEN LOOKING AT THAT TUBI STUFF>>>THERE IS A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN....X-OST!!!!

    ricambi america is the exclusive agent to my knowledge and can be reached @ 336.499.2500

    good luck,

    Dang- how many free shirts did you two get?

    Tubi would be worth a bit more on resale due to the name brand.

    I haven't heard other than stock and Tubi in person and a Tubi sounds pretty good. Would love to hear comments by one of our techs on reliability and sound however...

    Where is Brian when you need his input?

    It was a hat not a shirt. I'm not sure about the Tubi being worth more on resale or not. I didn't pay a premium for the Tubi set up on that track car I bought earlier this month. But speaking of that track car you want to come help me and Kelly get that old 3.2litre Ferrari engine out and get that 350 crate motor in Sunday?? We are anticipating a problem having the engine lid clear that Holley Carb. so bring your jigsaw.

    I thought we were putting the Lambo doors & neon kit on before we changed the engine out?

    Besides if you're not putting a Mopar engine in I don't know of any help to offer. A chevy engine in a Ferrari? What do you think this is-- a Jaguar??

    I've recently installed the new Tubi Rumore exhaust, it is loud, and sounds just like an F1 car in a tunnel.....

    I only want great sound and some horsepower gain. I did check out X-OST. They do not make one for car without cat. or that my car is the early 86 car with early Bosch K Jetronic fuel injector type... Tubi make one for this early car.
