575 exhaust

With a Tubistyle exhaust you really can't go wrong...

 

if u dont want loud then maybe stick with the stock.

 

It's definitely LOUD on a 550. Imagine it would be the same on a 575!

 

I have a Tubi on my F355 and, to be honest, the exhaust is louder than stock but in a pleasant way...

The stock system was great above 4000 rpms, when the bypass valve opened up, but it was a little bit 'too' quiet (for a Ferrari, of course) at low rpms and at idle...

With a Tubi the car is a little bit louder at high rpms and definitely louder at low, but the sound is great: much more aggressive and mean than stock, it really sounds like a race car... it really adds something to the already excellent Ferrari experience... honestly i couldn't go back to the stock system after hearing my car with a Tubi...

Ask your dealer to take you out for a ride with a 550/575 that already have a Tubi fitted... i'm ready to bet that you will buy one after the test...

 

A Tubi on a Maranello is waaaay over the top. Much too loud for my taste. At idle, you cannot have a conversation at your normal speech volume.

It is very RPM-dependant, though. Once you get to some higher revs, it becomes more tolerable.

For '04, they tuned the factory exhaust to give it some more muscle, and in my opinion, they got it just right. I would keep the stock exhaust, if I were you.

For '05, the GTC package is supposed to add an even more aggressive exhaust, which I have yet to hear.

 

I have to agree with Dan, the exhaust on my 04 575 is perfect just as it is.

 

My 550 has just the backbox, lovely.

 

Try Ansa Sport Exhaust.Quiter than Tubi.Ansa build all the OEM for Ferrari.

 

I personally like the Tubi, but it can be a little loud in the sense of reasonence(sp?) wich it has a lot of. The Capristo Exhaust is a lot quieter than the Tubi. It seems that you are worried that it may be a little loud. The Capristo at Idle sounded good and at rpms it seemed to be quieter than the Tubi.

My opinion is Tubi > Capristo for the 550's and 575's

You may be Capristo > Tubi or just Stock > Capristo or Tubi.

And I dont see it hurting the Class of the car. No need to worry about that.

 

Do you have an audio file of your car? I am playing with systems at the moment, with crossover pipes etc. I am used to the low RPM volume of the Tubi's now, but am interestedin the Cargraphic/Fuchs with crossover pipe combo.

 

At last Ferrari realise the 575 is too quiet in standard format, therefore get an official Ferrari sports exhaust, sounds amazing comes with new ECU's similar price to Tubi looks great with the vented duel skinned tail pipes and best of all you keep your new car warranty intact, oh and its legal too.

Its the same one that goes on the GTC package!

 

Please remember guys there have been TWO versions of the Tubi exhaust for the 550/575M:
The EARLY model was very aggressive especially low down. The new model is much smoother and much more refined and has been available for well over a year.
This variation between the two Tubis for these cars has caused a lot of confusion. The guys who think their Tubi is too loud have definitely got the early model system which was designed to be very aggressive. Those of you with the newer model will not know what the others are complaining about.


(NOTE FOR NEXT BIT OF BLURB: bear in mind the 550/575M has three mufflers in stock form. One centre and two rear ones.)


In addition to the Tubi mufflers you can alternatively specify the Tubi only-tube exhaust for your 575M especially if you are interested in getting more noise at high rpm and dropping more weight. (this system could be too loud if you have the very latest 575Ms which come from the factory WITHOUT the centre muffler).

The system for the 575M HGTC does not compare with these aftermarket Tubis because it has to comply with very stringent EC noise regulations. It's as good as possible for a fresh-from-the-factory system but it's still pretty weak in comparison to the aftermarket Tubis.

The piece de resistance of course is...... have a GUESS who manufactures the 575M HGTCs exhaust for Ferrari.....!!!!
(not allowed to directly state this)

One way or another, most of you will end up with a Tubi

Oh - my PERSONAL recommendation. (bear in mind, I've owned the car and I'm WEIRD when it comes to my sound preferences.)
If my 575M has a centre muffler - I'd get the special order Tubi only-tube rear system
If my 575M is the latest non centre muffler car I'd get the Tubi mufflers.
If's it's a 550 - I'd get the Tubi Mufflers.

OH - and ALL 575s (except HGTCs) are quieter than 550s because the cats on the 575M are bigger than the 550s (they've been lengthened).

 

P.S To add even more complications...

For those of you with early centre-muffler equipped 575s and ALL 550s you can now get a Tubi crossover to remove your centre muffler and make the car sound MAD... I mean really LOUD and SNARLY... very metallic and cool. A sort of Stage 2 upgrade.

P.P.S AND THEN theres a Stage 3 - to add to the rear muffler and centre section Tubi replacements you can fit Tubi test pipes... (we've only ever done this for ONE customer and he was a 23 year old maniac who owned a CGT, ENZO, SLR, 575M, Murcielago....)
The result was, frankly, INSANE....

So you've got three bits of the system to play with - cats, centre muffler, and rear mufflers.


P. P.S. Another twist: Test pipes + Tubi rear (keeping centre section stock) is really cool because the note is AWESOME but it's not hugely loud!

Don't know what Test Pipes + tubi centre with stock rear would sound but it is not recommended as it would probably cause an exhaust flow bottleneck at the rear. (not pleasant sound too).


Hope all the nonsense helps instead of serving to confuse.



Best wishes guys

Manu that was a very informative and interesting post. Thanks!

That makes sense. I must have one of the later Tubi's, because the noise is not excessive, but just right. It sounds better than the factory GTC which is still too dampened for my taste anyway. I highly recommend the (later) Tubi for the 575.

 

Exacty what I have on my 550 and I tell you, it sounds perfect.
I always prefer quality, not quantity so my exhaust note has to sound perfect, not loud.

Thanks for that great explanation by the way Manu.

I completely agree. I've run the Fuchs on my '97 550 for 3 years/15K miles. They got a little louder with use, but noise is of good quality and not too loud. Most importantly, no nasty resonances that make your teeth vibrate. I compared the design of the Tubi and Fuchs before I bought the Fuchs. It has a well-designed exhaust flow system. The Tubi, on the other hand, is mostly looks and no flow-engineering.

 

Hi there,
From manus post it seems like you must have tried the old Tubi system

 

Listen to this man and listen to me (three 550's so far).

DON'T get a Tubi if you are worried about the car being too loud!!!!

Why buy a V12 and not listen to it as it was meant to be before sound level codes and extreme polution measures? just keep the cats, anything after that it is better to have good air flow and sounds simply awesome. It isn't your only car is it?
