    Looking for some advice, on two points. 2 weeks with my 05 F430 F1 2,000 miles and the Tubi exhaust is making an odd loud metal to metal vibration noise at low RPM's. Has anyone heard of this issue. Tubi thinks it's the tips and are sending new ones. I'm not convinced. Also has anyone used Boston Sport Cars in Peabody for any work on Ferrari's (this is who Tubi is suggesting is the onlyl local authorized service provider for their product). Thanks.

    Well first, welcome aboard. Following the main dealer edict that they can't fit Tubis anymore then I guess you'll need an indy. BSC and IFS are the most commonly mentioned indy's here - seach this forum for either and you'll see lots of stuff. Did you have it fitted or buy the car with it?

    BSC has an address in Newbury, but it's not a 'real' address. The shop is actually in Weston.

    BSC I believe is located at the Lambo dealer near Peabody. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The alternative is not all that good, a long drive to the NY Ferrari dealer where I bought the car and who did the original installation.

    Thanks again,

    BSC is located in Weston Ma off route 20.

    I think you're getting confused because Ken Mckay, the owner of BSC, works for Lambo. But he works for Lambo directly, not for the local dealer. Anyway, they're definitely in Weston, not Peabody. Here's their website.

    They'd have no trouble helping you with your Tubi. IFS in South Easton would be the other obvious recommendation, as was suggested above.

    Thanks for the feedback and ending the confusion.

    IFS is much closer for me so if anyone has recommendation of the two that would be helpful.

    I'm still new to the Ferrari world, dove in head first with blinders on.

    Thanks again,

    IFS is the place to go - Stop by and see John's shop and talk to him. It will make your decision easier.

    Although Ferrari NA & SPA do not recommend any modifications to there F-cars...Ferrari of New England is still is close contact with Tubi USA and will be able to provide Tubi warranty repairs. Tubi has been great with supporting there products and will take care of any defects.
    Modified Ferrari or not...FofNE is able to provide support/service
    Let me know if I can be of any assistance
