    I would agree with a Capi level 2.

    I have a Tubi on my F355 Berlinetta now (from the original owner) and I heard an F355 with a Capi level 2. I will be adding one soon, with Hyperflows, and Tubi exhaust manifolds. . I'll just give my Tubi system away (you pay the shipping :D). These f***in' cars are more expensive than drugs.

    Even though it is not one of the choices in the OP's subject line, I'd have to throw out the totally custom GothSpeed Twin-Valve exhaust. You get both the sound you want (can be tailored to the loudness you want, in primary and secondary, but all retaining the legendary old-school F1 sound. Turn up the volume!

    To my ears, it is the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard on the car. And I'm coming from a Tubi, and later on the MS Racing exhaust. And getting a >28 hp gain over the MS Racing didn't hurt either!

    Yep. My wife (!) gave me the Cap 3 for Christmas. Red Robin already had hyperflows on her. The sound is addictive!

    We should meet up anyway for a cruise and blessing some mountain roads with the sound of 2 F355's on Cap 3's definitely counts as a good deed.

    Hi gents,

    I just bought an used F355 aftermarket exhaust system from ebay, pictures attached.
    I need to contact the manufacturer to source the upper mounting bar, it was missing and the seller does not have it.

    Could some one help recognizing it?

    Thanks,
    Fred

    If you cant find one...it should be straight forward to have one made.

    Agree Carlo I can certainly get one made!

    But I still wopuld like to know the manufacturer of this kit. It doesnt look like a Tubi, which has dobbled tipped ends.

    Any clues on possible companies that makes such kit?

    Just my .02 on exhausts, I have the Capristo stage 3, the nice thing about it is when the bypass is closed (highway cruising, idling etc), it is very quiet even with no cats. Hit the throttle and all hell breaks loose. Its the best of both worlds IMO.

    Looks like it may be an old Quicksilver. Either way I believe it would use the same exhaust bracket as a challenge system. Ferrari part number 166893. I think superformance has a reproduction as well.

    I have a Capristo 2 and its pretty epic. I think others on this board who have heard it can attest to its magic.

    Your F355 sounds great!!

    Thank you very much Barry. It's currently breathing through stock headers/cats/y-pipe. I'm working on a set of test pipes and cat less mandrel bent y-pipe right now. Anxious to see if it improves on the F1 shriek.

    Here is a video of the dyno pulls. The first F355 is a '95 with Tubi headers, stock cats and a Tubi muffler. The second F355 is mine, a '97 with OEM headers and cats and a Mille Miglia muffler.

    The white C6 was my wife's car. Lou Gilotti long-tube headers, high flow cats, Corsa cat-back.

    Darren, I did not dyno the car with the stock exhaust.

    Honestly if it cost me 5-10hp (which I seriously doubt) I'd still run it because it sounds so amazing.

    Sounds insane! My friend has a f1 355 and it's still the best sounding car I have ever heard.
