Fire Sale on 550/575 X-OST Exhaust

Used Tubis are the same $$

 

I have X-OST on both my 360 and 456M and am super-happy with the quality + sound. My 575M has a Tubi; I haven't switched it because it is what came with the car. However, given the choice, hands down it it would be X-OST over Tubi.

 

anything for a 456?!!!

 

I have an X-OST on my 575M and can say it is fabulous. Highly recommended! Awesome sound, not too loud but very impressive.

 

Sound level is in the ear of the beholder! LOL. If you were in a rock band through adulthood, then the x-ost is not that loud I was only in one through college, so to me, it is loud on my SA. I am thinking of going back to the exhaust that came with it. For me the issue is at idle. I love it under acceleration, not too drony while cruising and awesome during decel. But... at idle it's a bit too much for me.

YMMV.

anyone have sound clip(s) of either?

 

Their website has clips posted, but not of a 550/575

 

I bought a pair for $1100 , going to install them tomorrow, will report back once I try them out.

I can tell you from experience that Tubi's and X-OST are from different planets. The X-OST wins hand down. The X-OST sound is engineered and nothing like the Tubi's which do little more that create a boom in the salon. I ran Tubi's on my 575M for a year and began to dislike driving the car. The X-OST which came in (full system including ECU mod) at GB Sterling 8K returned my love of driving a Ferrari V12. Glorious sound and boom free.

Never understood how Tubi got to be so popular. I drove a Techart 911 Turbo in June it had Tubi's and it suffered from chronic salon boom.

Just my opinion but hey the car never fails to put a smile on my neighbours face when it trundles past his house.

 

I agree. I didnt know about the x-ost until i recently drove a 575 w/ it installed. I liked it way better than the Tubi. Now only if i can manage to find a used one for my 4 ?!!!

 

OK I installed the X-Ost today. It was a a very straight forward swap. The cans fit right into place. They were about one third the weight of the stock cans. By the way the 550 bumper cover weighs a freakin ton. There isn't a huge difference at idle, my car has an X pipe as well .It was pouring all day so I couldn't go on a long ride with the windows open. It seems to rev out a bit quicker and has a nice rumble on the downshifts. From the inside I thought it would be a bit louder, but it screams from the outside. The quality seems OK, have a look at the pic of the welds. Not perfectly polished like a tubi, but a good wels. I'm going to take her out for a long ride tomorrow if the rain lightens up.

is it normal to remove the bumper for the install?

 

I wanted to repaint the screens around the tips, and it made install and adjustment easyier.

Greetings Tiara ... Excellent photos.
Any problems "breaking"the seal between the pipe and the silencer?
It appears there is no gasket between the exhaust pipe and the silencer?
If not did you use any "gasket goo" or the like.
I am about to embark on the same exercise as you. Hopefully only needing to disassemble the car as far as the 575 WSM says.

 

No Gasket is needed its a ball type fitting, very clean fit and easy to adjust.

 

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the link, I just purchased an X-OST muffler from them. Anybody interested in a used Tubi?

 

anyone interested in some sort of x-ost group buy for the 456? I think we would need a minimum of 3 or 4 buyers. thanks
