    Tubi for the 360 comes complete with muffler, exhaust pipes and tips and are plug and play. Sorry I have no experience with something different.

    What I do want to add is Tubi exhaust brackets are prone to cracking. Mine cracked and had to be welded again and beefed up this time and hopefully it will last a long time this time. So I suggest you get yours welded better proactively

    Congrats Graham! You will love it.

    I had Tubi on my 2001 BMW M5, on my 2006 M6 and 2009 M6 and I love it.

    Build quality is like a musical instrument and the sound is awesome and there is no drone at any RPM.

    Here is a local Seattle 360 CS owner that captured a video with his Tubi exhaust. What an awesome sound especially in the tunnel!

    Anothing thing Graham - I recommend you have your installer proactively beef up the weld on the exhaust brackets so that it wont crack and fail later. Stock welds will fail, its only a matter of time.

    So no one knows if the stock pipes can be used? Is there someone on here I can contact directly from Tubi?

    Ok, I'm assuming I can only get the gaskets directly from Tubi? And what about hangers? I can't use stock hangers can I? I'll see if I can get those from Tubi as well

    Also, what's the benefit of using the Tubi tips as opposed to stock tips

    The Tubi tips look great, much better than stock. They don't have valves like the stock tips. Other than that, there isn't a huge difference.

    Our time is usually worth a lot more. And often times, at least myself the less pain, the less headache, the less complication the better as I prefer bolt-ons and be done with it and just go out and enjoy driving my car again.

    I searched eBay and found this. Excellent condition. Complete set. Plug and play:
    Photo also shows you how the complete set looks like including the tips.

    Note: I have affiliation to the seller.

    I have no option now because the trucks delivering the car any time today.
    But it's only a weld and that's easy.

    Tubi sounds absolutely awesome, plus I have sport fabspeed cats, which makes a huge difference.

    Anyone who has a 360CS and changed the exhaust to a Tubi should have their head examined. Really. And to post of video of such an atrocity. Holy moly. Put that factory exhaust back on the CS. The longer your in this game the more head scratching stuff you read.

    Not exactly familiar with the specific exhaust on the 360, but if you need to re-use any of the factory clamps, you may want to order replacements. Just going through this on my scud, and the factory clamps at the cats to the tubi were in really rough shape and needed to be replaced.

    Good luck!

    Scratching my head as well! I was the lucky guy who had the honor of buying Mr Chairman's immaculate 360 with the Challenge Racing exhaust and it absolutely screams like a *****. This is how a real ferrari should sound!

    Interesting comment.

    You ever heard of the saying "Different Strokes for Different Folks"? To each his own?

    In life we all do whatever makes us happy.

    His car he can do whatever he wants and you too can do whatever you want to your own car. Not because you like something everyone too has to have the same.

    Comments like this makes me now understand why some people dont like Ferrari owners. Someone told me they dont like Ferrari owners because they think they know everything and what they think and what they like is the best and should be good for everybody.

    Sometimes the handle tells the whole story.

    Something tells me you're wasting your breath ; )
