Carpisto vs. Gothspeed vs. Tubi

Here we go again.
Cross Tubi out. Though choice between cap and goth. I personally am leaning towards gothspeed myself.
Another one to consider would be armytrix.

 

Don't forget Nouvalari.

 

Would you take nouvalari over any of the above?

 

Over tubi, yes. Because tubi is the only one I've heard in person.

 

Ok, this subject has been beat to death on several occasions. And it is truly subjective.
They are all good, some better than others but again it is ultimately what "floats your boat".
I went from a Quicksilver, to a Tubi to a Capristo. Had straight pipes at onetime, but got rid of them due to being in California, had Hyperflow's on order but cancelled once I heard my car a 348 with a Capristo Stage 3. Nothing better for me. Build quality is superb to those you mentioned, even Tubi who does have a great built quality. But again this is IMHO, if you can hear them that would be the best way for you to judge what YOU like and enjoy.

 

If heat is your concern, take the goth unit. It runs much less heat than stock and the others. As for sound, well, that's personal, but the goth unit has the best in my mind. It is likely the least expensive too, but I am not sure what he charges now for the latest iteration. Throw in the newest bypass and you are going to be really shocked at what you end up with on the road.

 

It all depends what tubi you have on your car.I had the one that had the 90 degree tips and it sounded unreal as close to an F1 than you can get.

 

I reached out to goth and told him I want ape **** nuts f1 sound along with a fire spitting exhaust that has the most hp gain. I was promised just that. So, I have sent him a deposit on exactly that.
Capristo is a good option too. High pitch scream.
Tubi sounds deeper than all which is what I have currently. I may have it for sale soon if anyone is interested. It's as new. I suppose the going price for a Tubi is about &1500-$2000 these days.

 

best value for your dollar is Nouvalari.
a fraction of the price compared to anything named above.
Goth I don't know the price.

I'm running Nouvalari on stock headers , cats and y/pipe.
it screams quite loud at full throttle high rpm.

 

Goth's latest 355 exhaust is the bees knees! Nice and quiet for easy cruising, and a BEAST when the throttle is wide open. Plus it makes power. It's one thing to sound good, but to sound good AND make more power, that is what the deciding factor is for me.

If I owned a 355 it would be the Gothspeed dual bypass all the way. (Disclaimer I own a custom Gothspeed exhaust, made to my specs, for my 348).

And a thread for your reading and listening enjoyment, complete with dyno results. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/348-355-sponsored-bradan/447109-project-5-2-depths-laboratory-abyss-ascend-twin-goth-valves.html

 

+1

 

I bought capristo twin valve but i would have supported goth had he had one back then. Before you spend money on the sound though make sure your headers are good. Bad headers and a good sounding exhaust will be harder on the engine than anything. If they are good i would go goth.

 

I faced the same conundrum a couple months back, and ended up going with Supersprint 4-1 headers and a custom-spec'd Quicksilver SuperSport Plus exhaust with a secondary cat/Y-pipe/bypass-valve delete. Less weight, less heat, and less clutter convinced me that this is the way to go, plus Paul @ Quicksilver convinced me that the high-rpm scream could still be retained by reconfiguring the muffler innards. I'll be sure to post vids once the car is finally up and running again..

 

I might be wrong but this question here is asked more than any. It's impossible to answer. It's personal choice. I'd go with gothspeed just because I know he is a fan of the 355.

 

I get compliments on the way my F355 sounds from other F355 owners. Im running stock headers, test pipes, Nouvalari super sport muffler. My exhaust bypass is wired open. The sound is very sweet and it's loud enough that the wife doesn't like it but everyone else including me love it.

 

Fire Spitting and F1 sound...

You can do that with any exhaust mufflers mentioned. They all have the F1 sound but you must have a straight pipe Y-pipe installed for maximum effect. I left my primary cats in (had primary test pipes but it didn't sound that good... Too much drone and tingy) and installed a straight pipe y-pipe only. My happens to have a tubi muffler.

I installed that Forza Componenti exhaust valve controller. Open the valve, drive like you stole it and flames shoot out every time. You also get the 100dB F1 scream.

I have salso traight piped my 348 Spider (No muffler at all). Its the loudest F1 screaming Ferrari I've ever heard. Its hard to talk at idle... but by god what an experience.

Straight pipe the secondary... all you gotta do.

 

I've got a Capristo 3 in "rough" shape for sale in the classifieds. No, this is not the cap 3 from my car. I bought mine brand new.

 

I know it's like what's the best color for a 355. Need to go listen to a few pic what you like. Sound clips don't really do it either.

 

Money Sent!

 

Anyone need a Nouvalari Sport with less than 200 miles on it?

 

Cost?

 

What's the best way to get hold of gothspeed to enquire about an exhaust?

Thanks

 

He is building me a full set(headers down to the tip)right now. I hope)
Pm him.. He gets back usually in few days.
