612 Exhaust

Yes, I have heard them both on a 2006. The Tubi is a little like the optional factory equipment but laced with a rougher edge. Good sound though.

 

Sure, the burble is standard with the Tubi. No extra charge

 

My current 612 has the Tubi CGT...which is the loudest on sale from them right now....its soooooo sweet! The burble is just right, and the pop on the down shifts is perfect. I have been looking for some comparisons between the new HGTS exhausts and my tubi, cant find any. I guess I will have to wait till next year to find out what is better. But you can never go wrong with the tubi. They should be standard!

 

I have a 612S with a stick shift and just installed a Tubi exhaust.
1. yes it burbles on the down shift and also whenever you let off the gas in any gear.
2. also, some where around 4200RPM there is now a new sound. It is like the deep but power hissing you hear when a jet hits it afterburners. It is amazingly addictive. The great sound of the Tubi I expected, but the deep power afterburner hissing just makes you want to keep you foot in it all day long.
3. The tubi gave the 612 the edge it needed to be a satisfying GT as it now reminds you, through the exhaust, you are piloting something very special.

 

+1 on all.

I dont have the 6 speed so my afterburner sound might be just a little less on the downshifts.....but the car sounds great with the tubi after its all warmed up for about 20-30 minutes.

 

Have you done any long runs yet? I'd be interested to see if the louder exhaust makes it a less attractive long-distance cruiser.

 

Is that on long drives, with the windows up, in 6th gear, the car just purrs. There is really no noticable gurgle when travelling at speed on a highway with the windows up. The car is designed to compete with the best long distance cruisers out there. There is little wind noise, road noise etc with the cockpit sealed from the filthy world that lies outside the serene interior of this gentlemen's Ferrari

If you want to get that rush, crack the window down, downshift and apply gas. Your guts get pulled into the seatback and your grin gets much bigger in an equally proportinal relationship to exhaust sound.

The 612 can be an animal when you want it to be, and a civilized highway cruiser as well. Watch the TOP GEAR episode where Clarkson states the same.

 

Sorry if you misunderstood me, I was asking as a 612 owner (of three years).

 

Yes, for all the good things the Tubi offers on the 612S, there is a caveat. For long-distance cruising there is a resonance at ~3100rpms. If your engine cruises at this rpm for any length of time you will hear a low resonance and it could be fatiguing on your senses after awhile. Of course, cruising below ~3100rpms or above it (beyond the speed limit) alleviates the problem handily. I've decided to accept it because it just makes the 612 so much more fun to drive.

 

I have a 2005 612 and it has a Tubi Exhaust but it is very quiet. Did Tubi make the stock system as well?
