    does a Tubi designed for a 512TR mate up to an earlier Testarossa?

    probably not. There are some major differences in the engine/gearbox relationship.

    Perhaps check out tubi-style's website and see if the part number is different.....

    hell with the tubi, put on a capristo. I have one on my TR and believe me you won't regret it
    They are better built and sound better
    Tubi has long been associated with ferrari, so expect to pay that premium for what I consider an inferior product

    can you give us a video with good sound?

    the car is goober's who will no doubt be along here sometime... the car sounds good from inside, not great as it should, but good... however from riding alongside in another car (Gallardo) it just sounded gutless when it's anything but.

    My 512TR has Tubi with test pipes on it and it sounds 'incredible' though I have not heard one with capristo but the sound of mine has received a lot of praises from fellow f car owners here.

    the Tubi's sound great no doubt..the caps have a lower more Bass tone. The 4-5000 rpm give that F1 sound
    I am heard from about 3blocks away at full throttle ( straight pipes )

    I'll try to figure out how to post a mpeg
    Check the canada section - Alberta megathread.. some guys commmented on my car in there.

    I have a Borla system on the TR, each header has it's own pipe, muffler, and tail pipe. It has a unique sound that only a 12 cylinder makes, kind of a "baritone-Indycar" sound. It's "medium" loud but the sound is unique enough that it can be heard for quite a distance. It sounds great at full throttle under a bridge!
