Would you buy a car with a Tubi/Capristo exhaust fitted?
Discussion
I need to buy a new rear silencer for my 360 spider manual. The old one is blowing the insides into dust all around the engine bay (as per voicey's blog post), so we took it off yesterday. It's rattling and, I suppose, dead.
I am not particularly fussed about the exhaust noise, but I always thought a tubi style does sound nice so it would seem like an opportunity to fit one. As long as it's not too loud!
But I may sell the car in 12 months so I want to know if it's a bad move to fit a tubi. Would you buy a car with one fitted? Or is factory spec all the rage now that 360s are a bit more sought after?

I fitted Tubis to all my Ferrari's. Sounded best on the 355 spider for whatever reason. Never had any qualms or problems when it came to selling them. It's not seen as a negative IMO.
I've got a Larini club sport on my current Lamborghini and don't envisage any problems when I move that on either, but I've kept the original back box on the off chance that someone prefers it for some strange reason.

Many people would see a quality aftermarket system as a bonus although the exhaust note variations can be a personal preference. I've heard some that sound wonderful and I've driven a Spider with a loud Tubi that got on my nerves once the novelty had worn off (10 minutes - way to boomy).
Really not sure about longer term value though.

Exhaust is bolt on bolt off so no big deal.
Tubi is better than Capristo on a 360 and vice versa on a F355.
I always keep the OEM back box as previous poster said to give the buyer the option but personally if the car was the same price and the noise wasn't too loud and drowny I would take it with the Tubi on.
As your back box is dead this isn't an option but as you have to replace the OEM anyway you may as well upgrade to tubi IMHO.
It wont effect price

Having looked at the original silencer again I'm wondering whether it is actually "dead". It's not rattling as much as I first thought. Hardly at all, in fact.
How do I tell? What's wrong with sealing up the gap where the out shell has come lose and continuing to use it?
You might well be able to weld it or seal it up but I doubt it will last and for the sake of a new exhaust I'd rather have it 100% personally.How do I tell? What's wrong with sealing up the gap where the out shell has come lose and continuing to use it?
A blowing exhaust at time of sale will definitely effect the price so personally I would be reluctant to cut corners on maintenance on a ferrari

No It wouldn't put me off buying one with a Tubi/capristo exhaust. I would just keep your original in a box somehwere so if someone wishes they can always put it back on the car.I am not particularly fussed about the exhaust noise, but I always thought a tubi style does sound nice so it would seem like an opportunity to fit one.

Quicksilver is also worth a look. They've done several syetms for em and I've always been very pleased with their work.

Entirely subjective really. I prefer Capristo which is why I have a Stage 2 on mine, the Tubi is more bassy and doesn't have that F1 scream like the Capristo does.Tubi is better than Capristo on a 360 and vice versa on a F355.
Lots of videos on YouTube though if you're struggling to make up your mind.
