    Hi folks. We (Champion Motorsport / Tubi Style North America) are the only authorized importer for Tubi Style exhaust products in North America. Typically any Tubi exhaust that is sold in the US, Canada, or South America comes through our doors before delivery to one of our sellers/installers or end users. Yes, we have been quiet on FerrariChat for some time, but plan to become more active in supporting the community moving forward. In fact, let's start today... :)

    The Tubi manifolds for the 355 have been a great seller for us for many years, not only because of their superior quality compared to the failure-prone OEM parts but also because of superiority to most other aftermarket offerings. We do still carry them and they are often in stock and ready to ship from our Florida location.

    As far as the price goes, most product pricing is set directly by Tubi at their main corporate office in Italy. However, there are certain costs involved with the importing (shipping, customs, etc), warehousing, and marketing of the product which are of course built into the final retail price. When it's delivered to your door in the US, all of these costs are factored in, including our full local support.

    Our normal retail price for the 355 manifolds is $7030. Since there seems to be some interest in a group buy, I'll put one out there for FerrariChat members...officially. If I can get a confirmed 5 orders for the manifolds, I can offer the manifolds at a price of $5500, which is just below our standard wholesale pricing. In order to make the process easier, I'll leave the group buy open until we reach 5, or we can set a specific target date....which would be preferred?

    Of course, if you have any questions at all about the group buy or Tubi products in general, you can always reach me directly via email at [email protected] or directly at the number below.

    Thanks!
    -Tom

    I am removing other thread until I can speak with Champion and also Tubi World. They may be OK with group buy outside distributor agreements, but I doubt it. Tubi actually sued FerrariChat and another sponsor that was selling Tubi from Germany to American users. I worked it out with Tubi and they actually became our title sponsor before Ricambi. :eek: Look in this thread for updates.

    Thank you Rob.

    If anyone (globally) is unsure about who is the official Tubi Style importer for their particular region, you can check the official Tubi dealer locator here:

    Tubi Style / Dealer Locator

    Please take a look, as there have been some changes, particularly in the European area.

    Also keep in mind that in many cases, main dealers such as ourselves always distribute the product through a network of smaller dealers or shops. If you're ever uncertain about whether or not you are purchasing an authorized Tubi product please feel free to reach out to the main distributor for your region. Thanks :)

    Perhaps Tubi should consider a lower retail price if they plan to move these more frequently?

    Just for comparison..

    A set of Capristo Scud 4-2-1 headers + very well made heat blankets retail for $6k. They are also made in T309 stainless steel which is higher grade than Tubi's T304. Tubi's only come with a heatshield which may not be good for the header. Tubi definitely needs to consider a price re-evaluation. I can tell you right now I was able to work a considerable discount on the Capristo Scud headers/blankets.

    Ken, when I was looking into Tubi headers, IIRC, they are insulated under the heat shields.

    When the time comes as I finish the rebuilt of my 95 Berlinetta, Tubi headers are what I will be installing as I feel they are the best option. I'd glady take Tom up on his offer here for $5500 but I'm likely a year away from needing them.

    Ours are also insulated under the shielding. To be honest, we sell quite a few of these...I would say probably 1-2 sets per month, which isn't too bad for an aging car.

    Keep in mind, Tubi is an OEM supplier for many current Ferrari/Maserati models and have worked closely with Ferrari for many years. They are not going to make a product that isn't superior to the factory part or most other aftermarket.

    Thanks Dave! When the time comes, reach out and I'll be sure to take care of you. :)
