thinking about rounding out the tubi stuff on my 95 (have the exhaust and test pipes already)
I have the same on my 95 and will probably go tubi headers next unless the boys working on a new system here on Fchat come up with something better....and I think they will. As for the sound...It will be hard to do better than what you have but only someone who has the complete tubi setup could answer that.
i heard one before. Pitch is a little higher from mid to redline. Owner stated he felt a nice increase in power upstairs. he no longer has the car so i cant get any soundclips. Sounds more free flow even at idle.
If its sound you are after get test pipes and remove the heavy cats. Not to mention the nice flame you will project shifting high up in the revband.
I really doubt different headers pipes will make any difference you can hear. Any header pipe is going to be pretty much the same size inside and take more or less the same route to get where it needs to go. As someone else mentioned you can get a change by using a different muffler, different cats. or removing cats (which it seems you've already done). The advantages would probably only be that they look nicer and don't rust.
This is not really trure I have done tubi exhaust, hyper flow cats and just added to STEBRO headers. The difference in the headers coupled w/ the other items is night and day. The car sounds superior in the 4000rpm range. I will find different speeds in different gears to maximize that running level. When I run under viaducts, tunnels or bouncing off walls - the sound with these headers sounds as if an F1 is screaming down the road. Now interesting enough it isn't as mystical at 5000 rpm or 3000 rpm's it seems to peak at 4000. I've run the car w/ hpyer flows/tubi and sure the car sounds awesome. But these headers - OMG. Its what keeps me from considering ever selling my car - It could not be duplicated. my experience -- go Stebro!
I seem to remember Stebro put a high temp coating on their headers, right??? Did you end up putting on the header wrap tape around your headers?
i can just imagine the sound. Do post some clips of the monster. Im sure the Fabspeed headers will do the same for a portion of the Tubi price. Tubi has well overinflated their price and is probably in the vacinity of $5k now. I was suprised to see how well layed out the stock 95 headers were. Any header you take will improve teh sound to some degree whether it be at 4000rpm or 6000rpm etc all depending on its construction and tubing configuration. I may be wrong but i remember reading somewhere that the Tubis are all equal length which is probably a big advantage if you are tunning via a standalone to get the maximum power output. Any properly designed header will give you a different tone somewhere in the revband. Its just a matter or prefernce and $$ vs gain. JMHO.
im a sucker like that...im going to go with tubi since i already have their exhaust and test pipes...would just feel dirty to me to go with someone else
You are a Tubified owner. Nothing wrong with getting a little dirty Its your car so you do as you please. You will love it once it is done though. Will sound even closer to an F1 machine.
Breakdown on prices----This sound about right?????? Any other makers?? Warranties? I guess my question is why would I spend $4700 for headers when I can spend $2500---Am I getting essitially the same product?? Are these headers that much different??? Anyone! Tubi--$4700.00 Fabspeed - $2495.00 NAPerformance - $3299.00
Well, I can't say it's a huge difference in sound but it's definately noticeable....... Tubi headers+Hyperflow test pipes+Stage 3 Lemans X-ost+ Fresh engine overhaul = SOUND!!!!! You need earplugs and I love it..
I don't know I leave that stuff to my mechanic - I drive 'em. Don't know if there is any difference from one manufacturer to the next sound may be negligible or it may be appreciative; all I know is what my experience is and the car enters the twilight zone w/ the Stebro. A pure Italian scream. Why miss the "Climax that keeps on giving" for a couple grand.
I would never ever put a header on my 355 that needs coating or wrapping. Your car needs the heat to be taken out through the pipes and that is why you need shielding and insulation around the headers. Why would Ferrari have added insulated shields to thier headers if they didnt need it. Dave and Bruce are working on putting together something in the header area that hopefully will fix the problems inherant in the 355 plus extract more horses from these magnificent machines. Either stay with OEM or go with Tubi. Tubi is by far the better of the 2. Or wait for something new that is shielded.
