    It's been a few months since I installed the Nouvalari exhaust, but I was finally able to get a decent video today (thanks to my daughter). What do you all think? Also, how does the sound compare to Tubi, Capristo, etc.?

    To me it sounded stock, not bad but stock? Not sure if it was the clip but I am now use to my Capristo and its a much more raw sound thats quite a bit louder and more of a F1 sound (so much so I canceled my order for Hyperflows & left the stock Cat's on) And this is from someone who had a Tubi and a Quicksilver on my 348. Sorry...

    A freind of mine (Mike) was in on the Nuvolari group deal for his 348 and trust me...sound NOTHING like stock. I haven't had the pleasure of following him yet, but I promise, its loud.

    maybe its the clip, am not saying the Nouvolari exhaust bad, but it does not sound great or even aftermarket to me. No offense to anyone.

    Sounds fantastic! :D:D

    Through my speakers, I reckon it sounds a little 'deeper' than my XOST. :D:D

    This exhaust setup is a lot louder than stock and I think it sounds fantastic from inside the car, especially with the top down. I've also been told it sounds great (very loud) when following at speed.

    Pap, to me the sound is deeper than the stock can, but not as deep as the Tubi in my first 348...

    Sounds great. I have the supersport also. Fabspeed cats definitely add to the sound experience. Will look to changing my cats.

    I'd be interested in seeing some comparisons between the Nouvalari cats and other commonly known brands. Like airflow, emissions, lifetime and such. They seem to have a better price. jmiff says his Nouvalari exhaust sounded significantly better after he added some cats.

    I can only speak for my Nouvalari exhaust. I have the cats and the Sport exhaust. The sound is incredible and the engine feels a lot more fluid and freed up. The cats are large and seem to flow very well. I was sceptical due to price at first, but I beleive Nouvalari could easily compete with the more expensive brands. The finish and design are very good. I wish they made SS headers, I buy them in a second. If I can get one of the Connecticut Gathering guys to follow me or capture a drive by on video, I'll post it here so you can hear it.

    I like more the capristo sound, I have one friend with one 355 and he has capristo and is pure F1 sound, I think (videos only) nouvolari is more at american cars, I want for my 348 one capristo but i´m not sure if the sound is similar in to 355

    Sounds awesome! My car has a tubi on it and it sounds pretty good, but to me none of these things sound like a V8 as I am used to - my Corvette with BB exhaust will raise the hair on the back of your neck when you spool it up. Your car does sound great though!
