    I am currently debating between installing FUCHS or TUBI exhaust. Does anyone have any opinion either way?
    Does any one what the differences with regards to sound and performance is between the two??

    Thanks,

    On the 456/550, I prefer the Fuchs over the Tubi. Both have a similar sound, but the Fuchs has an added "bite" to the sound which is quite nice.

    Fuchs has good low end rumble (not too loud), and a well developed mid range grunt and high end wail w/o being too intrusive.

    tubi is very VERY loud down low (idle), and adds virtually nothing as the revs climb (sounds like the stock exhaust with the butterfly valves open).

    search for threads on this for the 550 for direct comparisons, testamonials, exhaust clips, etc.

    Does anyone know how much the FUCH exhaust costs, I know the Tubi's are around $3,000 new.

    Thanks,

    Intstalled the FUCHS Exhaust on my 456, and the difference was unbelievable. I was not expecting to be sooo pleased with the results, liked it much better than the Tubi (especially at high RPMs).

    Fuchs.

    The only thing Tubi has going for it is brand recognition.
