Interested in peoples' views on the effect on resale price of 360 of fitting the tubi exhaust ?
I feel it needs it so get can really appreciate it, even under 4k revs! But I bought red because I wanted the classic look & easy resale. How do main dealers react to aftermarket exhausts ?

They install them for you, so they evidently don't mind too much.

Should have no Probs with Tubi.
Meridien Order and Fit them from Scuderia Systems.

Will normally make the resale "package" more attractive

I wouldn't say it adds to value, but would obviously make the car more marketable to a certain audience. Keep your old exhaust, obviously - and maybe look at better value exhausts.

Nothing against Tubi, except there are a few others on the market for less £££

To be honest,I cant tell the difference between the capristo and the tubi on a 360.

Its all good though.

I had on one fitted to my 360, Dick Lovett fitted it, and took it off for me when I sold the car. I then sold the Tubi on the net.

From what I've heard, the Capristo has a more raw tone to it... more sporty/racecar. The Tubi seems loud but smoother. Not that I've heard the two side by side.

In terms of effect, you WON'T wanna sell it! 360 with tubi or capristo is a dream like sound.

Nope,not on a 360,they are the same pitch.

I expected it to scream a bit.Side by side (Bebbesons tubi) they are dead similar.

The capristo on a 355 though was a totally different sound though.If I could have that noise on the 360 then I would.

Its all good though.

Awesome! As for Tubi, it's a must though Nicker's sounds brilliant also!

I have a Tubi on my 550... It sounds like a jet fighter plane. As for re-sale value, just about any red blooded prospective buyer will quiver at hearing it raw.

I'd say do it....

This assumes the same sound quality can be obtained at lower cost from other manufacturers, which, from experience, is emphatically not the case. The problem with economising here is that the consequence will appear whenever you start it up, and follow you around wherever you go. Sound is such an important factor in the Ferrari experience; you pay enough for the look, it surprises me that anyone would want to be a tightwad about the way it sounds.

The Tubi for the 360 is a gorgeous product; my old 360 was one of the first in the country (if not the first) to have a Tubi fitted, and back then we didn't know what it was going to sound like. Still sends shivers down my spine whenever I think about it. Fitting a Tubi on a 360 should be mandatory.

.........do the tubi...........you wont regret it ! the sound is awesome........the only downside is people sometimes comment on long journeys that its too noisey for 100's of miles of driving. dont get me wrong i think its perfect and would not do without it but the inevitable noise is more intrusive and its a question as to if you want that for the types of trips you will do..........if your in the bedfordshire area come and have a listen !
