575 exhaust

I don't think Tubi mufflers are being overlooked by Ferrari owners, Moe. They're very popular. In fact, F355 owners feel that Tubis provide their cars with one of the nicest exhaust sounds ever to come out of a car.

Moe- No, not Tubi from the factory. Tubis are only aftermarket for the Maranellos and Superamerica, at least. I have Superamerica HGTC mufflers on mine, and they are not Tubi and neither are the 575M original two sets nor the HGTC set.

I seriously doubt Ferrari would pay Tubi prices for mufflers or exhaust pipes.

 

I'm not saying Tubi's are overlooked- I'm saying the 'more sound' versions of their exhausts are overlooked.

There's a lot of continual discussion on the merits of their exhausts vs. others all over FChat, but no mention or specifics with regard to the 'more sound' version which a very viable candidate, and my point is, not to be overlooked.

Additionally- Although this is not a 599/612 thread, can anyone be sure who makes the HGT exhaust on the 612 for Ferrari???

 

Moe- The only way to make sure would be to look at the cans. That is how we knew none of the Maranello/Superamerica exhausts were made by Tubi.

 

Moe,

I see what you mean. Thanks for posting the catalog. There's a difference in the internal baffling between the two versions, probably like the "first and second generation" mufflers for the 550. The changeover came around the time the 575M went into production.

I think most 550 and 575M owners already have their Tubis. I'd be curious to hear the difference between today's versions.

Barry- No, he is talking about the different loudness levels available on Tubis, regardless of whether they were valved. At one point there were three different sound levels available for the Maranello, with different baffle configurations.

 

I was editing while you were replying, Terry. Yes, I saw that when I looked at the catalog pages Moe posted.

 

Barry- Fastest post in the West.

 

Yup!

 

I've always liked the vaned ("intercooled," as Borla refers to them) tips.

 

To digress a bit, my F355 Challenge has both the Challenge muffler for noise restricted tracks and the Challenge pipes for unrestricted tracks.

The Challenge muffler is a bit smaller and louder than the stock muffler. The Challenge pipes are loud race car noise.

Thank you Daniel at Ricambi for getting those Challenge pipes for me.

I bought my 612 second hand & it had a 'Maranello X host' brand set of mufflers on it that I didn't care for, so I can't check the cans

The 456 never had valves obviously & my 612 is set without valves as they don't make them valved.

The standard Tubi is nice enough to let you know what your driving, but too quiet for me- To a certain extent, the sound is half of the experience for me and for all of us, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

 

Let me clarify- my 612 Tubi isn't valved as Tubi doesnt make the 612 set valved.

 

I see a lot of love for Capristo on this forum so I have made up my mind on ordering a set to try out. Im quite upset with my current setup which is a custom muffler made by a local shop. I hope my money is well spent and the Capristo will put an end to my quest searching for the "right" exhaust for my 575. For the past few nights before falling asleep, I can't stop thinking about the beautiful sound that a 550 with center straight pipe and no muffler makes. Knowing I will never achieve that kind of sound with a 575 so buying a 550 some day is inevitable I guess... My wish list just gets longer each day.

 

For a higher pitched sound than the Capristos, the Kreissieg is another high end exhaust. You can have a really loud, beautiful sound on your 575M. That would be Novitec Super Sports with no valves. Had them on my car and it became obvious the pre-cats and cats do not quiet the car down at all. Too loud for me and the neighbors, even though the local police gave her a pass.

 

I purchased my 575M # 135175 two later then Taz's with theTubi exhaust muffler only installed by a previous owner. Everyone outside the car thinks it is the best sounding 575 they have ever heard..... But while I am driving it is too darn loud after a few minutes of cruising type driving and on longer drives I find myself changing gears or various speeds to achieve a quieter sound inside the car.
. I love noise of cams and gears etc.etc. of older Ferrari V-12s which is missing in the 575 but if I had the choice now, I would keep the stock exhaust system. (Maybe with straight pipes before the mufflers).
The best time for me to enjoy the Tubi from the cockpit is when I downshift to slow down, it is incredible when the computer matches revs for me,even on multiple downshifts.
If anyone in So.Cal. Wants to hear her PM me.

 

I have Tubi exhaust on my 550. The muffler is stamped "550" and the serial number of the muffler is 000014832. The stock centre resonator is still on the car. It has a nice deep idle but is a bit quiet going through the gears. Any idea what version this muffler is?

 

HG- Affirmative, it is an early Tubi for the 550. Later ones for the 575M and 550 had 575 embossed on the cans. They sound good with the stock center muffler/resonator but get quite loud if you change to straight center pipes. Maybe a little quieter with an X-pipe, but not much. If you think it is too quiet, changing to straight/X-pipes will definitely make her louder, and may give you resonation around 2500-3000 rpm. Straight pipes available from Bradan and X-pipes from several sources. Straight pipes give more hp and torque, but not enough more than X-pipes that you would notice the difference.

 

You summed it up succinctly, Terry. I've seen 100 post threads on the subject that say the same thing.

 

Barry- We have repeated it so often, we probably should have a canned word document we could just cut and paste.

 

Thanks Taz. I've done a ton of reading on the forums on the topic. Just didn't know which version mine were.

 

Hate to bring up this old thread but I am curious. I purchased my 575 with the exhaust already modified. It appears that the center resonator has been replaced with straight pipes and tubi mufflers that say "575" are installed out back. The car sounds great during idle and during acceleration. Problem is when I decelerate it lets off a little pop / backfire sound. That part is what I don't like. If I were to remove the straight pipes and install an x pipe in its place would this remove the popping sound that I dislike? Has any one had this experience?

 

I don't think switching to X-pipes will stop the popping. Putting the original center resonator back on might eliminate it. Putting the center resonator and the original valved mufflers back on will definitely eliminate the popping.

 

In Monaco tunnel ....nice sound .During cruising nice sound level and when when you decelerate no poping sound After 4500 rpm good ´music.No ear pain .Really good combination...and little more power with KN filters (without too much oil on them...Because theMAF ) Enjoy
