    and I can hardly tell the difference from stock. If anything, it is noticeably quieter at low RPM's than stock! That whole "improved aural quality" thing they advertise is also not noticeable. I'm going to disconnect the valves and see how it goes.

    There is a weight savings, but had I known, I wouldn't have done it. I bet this is why sound clips have been so hard to come by!

    thats strange because if its anything like my novitec, it is the loudest and almost annoyingly loud exhaust ever!! but screams till ur ears go deaf at full tilt.

    How disappointing, especially when the video makes it seem pretty good sounding.

    If you followed the sound clip drama as I did, there was never a clip with stock cats anywhere I could fine until a few months ago. I susupect they new they had an so-so product and tried to sell some on name recognition for awhile (like to me). Once those dried up, they tried to capture a few more on sound clips that, you know, are subjective.

    I disconnected the valves but the sound is loud and just not great.

    I think most people feel the stock 430 exhaust is plenty loud. The tone could have been higher though. Tuning the sound is the whole thing here. Anyone can make a loud exhaust.

    save your money.

    As far as I know, the stock pipe is already straight out from cat, so no matter what system you put after the cat should be about the same, the only way to improve sound is the sport cat or header.

    Have had my TUBI Evo for 2000 km. Don´t like the sound at all. Har away from a Ferrari sound. More low than high tones.

    It is very nicely enginerd, with a balance piviot - but I have everything else standard so far and with the Tubi I have a terrible rezornance freqenzy at 3100 rpm and up. 3100 rpm is highway speed in EU. So after a couple of hours you are ready to give the system away.
    Mine will also come off as soon as possible.
    Really a lot of money and very disapointing.

    Hi,
    i feel the same way for the tubi..... i had the system on my car for only 1 week and i decide to take it off and sold it to my friend.... but funny thing is after 2000 miles on my friend's car it change the sound. so you probably just need to wait till it break in...

    Hard to beat stock with valves disconnected unless you go big and get everything.... headers, highflow cats, exhaust, ecu reflash...big bucks!

    Oh , one more thing.
    Tubi Evo is separating the two cylinder banks. One muffler for each row of 4 cylinders.

    When I open my left window to have a soundcheck - what do I hear? I hear just the sound comming out of the left side muffler. That is - I hear just a 4 cylinder engine.

    Tubi Evo is 2pc 4 cyl engines running parallell. So paying for a Ferrari V8 you just get the sound of two different 4 cyl. engines.

    Took some time to figure this out. Thougt there were someting odd with the sound and frequencies.

    Got the standard back last night. Will sell the Tubi as soon as possible.

    Just go with Hyperflow cats and Capristo 4.3 racing exhaust. This is what I have on my F430 and the sound is incredidle... I love it.
