355 Capristo vs. Tubi

It's a matters of air flow and Sound

 

Two outlets is better!

All depends if we are talking about outless or outlasts. If we are talking about outlets then maybe tubi is better because they sound fantastic and yes they do have HP gains. Maybe having only 2 outlets allows the right amount of residule pressure to give us that sweet sound and HP gains.

 

interesting post, i have the 1 outlet tubi, and think that i does a great job in producing a nice sound and keeping the dB levels acceptable. IMO, the 1 outlet design produces a nice sound because the bypass exhaust path is sound attenuated. The 2 outlet designs produce a very loud noise when the bypass is open because it is virtually a straight through path with very little sound attenuation.

 

all I know is that my Capistro makes the most glorious sounds that you can imagine. At the track on Wednesday (VIR), a couple of folks came over and offered that there was no better sounding car than mine....including a bunch of Challenge cars...

 

Tubi v Capristo, like for like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SGOyaw7DTg

 

Eitan- Likely neither adds much hp to the engine without other modifications, so pick the one with the sound you like best. Unless, of course, someone has believable before and after dyno runs. The Tubi is a deeper, more guttaral sound, the Capristo sounds more like an F1 engine. If it were me, I would choose Capristo. About the only sound better than an F355 with a Capristo is an F50 or a 599 GTO.

I wouldn't put too much into the video. Oversimplification.

There are three different Tubis for the 355 ( http://www.tubistylena.com/p/Ferrari/355/ ), not counting the Challenge exhaust and, I believe, at least 3 different Capristos, not counting the twin bypass valve version. So which is on what car???

This video is probably the closest you'll get to a "fair" comparison between the two but really not fair at all since we don't know the version of each muffler.

And..... regardless of what is written on YouTube I still do not think the Tubi equipped car is being rev'd as high as the other car.

PS. I'm no Capristo hater (love them)

 

Not sure it it's an upgrade but make that 4 different Tubi's for the 355 plus the Challenge part (forgot about the Evolution until you reminded me).

 

Had you read the video description then you would know that the Capristo is a level one and the Tubi is the basic level to. Also both are the same year and both have straight pipes.
Regarding the "what is written on youtube" bit. Both cars were rev-ed to red line, both these guys are friends and arranged this like for like video. I was with them that morning as part of a sunday supercar drive out with 40 cars.
I personally know both owners of the cars, so do some of the UK posters on here. The test was straight up, regardless of what forum posters assume And it would not have matterd it the Tubi car had an extra 1-2,000 rpm, it still would not have sounded any were near as high pitched as the Capristo car

 

On YouTube the Tubi is referred to as "1st level" while you refer to it as the "basic level" Tubi. How exactly are we to know how these terms relate to the "official" nomenclature that Tubi uses on their website? They don't use the words "level" or "basic."

How do you know or the owner what "level" Tubi is on the yellow car? Did he buy it new? There is no indication whatsoever on my Tubi as to what "level" it is. No part number.

I don't doubt your sincerity in all of this but I still wonder about the "exactness" of the comparison.

 

Yes he did buy it brand new, they both did. But it seems to me that you are arguing for arguments sake, and its a non argument.
But put it this way, what ever level the tubi is, it is eclipsed by the starter level one Capristo (yes also what i call the basic level).

 

I believe the Tubi 355 Evolution is mimicing the Capristo muffler design...with a more "straight through" path for the "bypassed" exhaust.

 

"Yes he did buy it brand new, they both did."
Fair enough but very interesting you would know that...

"But it seems to me that you are arguing for arguments sake, and its a non argument."
Not at all. Just a person that doesn't automatically believe everything that is in black and white or told to me.

"But put it this way, what ever level the tubi is, it is eclipsed by the starter level one Capristo (yes also what i call the basic level)."
Now the Capristo is a "starter" muffler? Do you have to get promoted to qualify to purchase the Level Two? The Tubi is "eclipsed" by the Capristo? The tone and level is a matter of PREFERENCE. For what it's worth, in this video, I prefer the sound of the Capristo, but it's my opinion only, and I state it as such. If I had to drive the car long distances my opinion might change.

Yes, a bit of sarcasm in what I wrote but it's because of what I perceive as something of a "Thou shalt not question what I state." approach.

 

No bother mate, Your right The videos been removed now anyway

 

"Your right"

Well..... I rest my case.

 

What would have blown right by you while trying to score points. Is how come the video has now been taken down. Because i spoke to the video owner and he read on here what a prick you are being and decided to take it down, its not worth the arguing. Yea hes right.

 

I used to have a tubi on my 355 and it sounded great. I bought the capristo for my 599 and it is out of this world. I also have a capristo for my 430 that was great. I would go the capristo route.

 

Damn..... that will teach me. Might I assist in returning the toys to the perambulator?

Man you guys work quick together or would you be the "video owner" by chance?

The more you write the less I believe.

 

No its called using the phone you silly man Just in the same way that i often speak to Sy (Angelis) on the phone. We are all friends, the UK ferrari scene is small.
Though you have indeed always been the same, ever since i can remember you on this forum. A prick.

 

Hi guys,

Been reading up on the debate between Capristo and Tubi.

Is there excessive drone in the 355 GTB if one were to go for Capristo L3 or the Tubi 'loud' version?

How is the comfort level after long spirited drives?
