Speak to Manu or ajay at: www.scuderiasystems.com They are both Phers. DAZ

I have just ordered a Tubi system (tube only replacing rear silencers) from Manu and so far I'm impressed. Nice guy, knows his stuff and said he wouldn't even charge my card until the Tubi system was fitted and I was happy.
Now that's what I call customer service

[dazren]

Good stuff. Your car will sound as Enzo would have wished and not some moron bureaucrat.

Why the F1 gearbox?

Check profile. Already owning a Radical may give you a clue.

A wonderful choice of car!!

each to his own on exhausts but to me a tubi on a 550/575 it does not suit the character of the car, same thing as a 456 really.

Ive heard better, koenig sounds good if you want more sound but nowhere near as loud as a tubi

[Spie]

Point taken on the Tubi system, but it's the "tube only" replacement for the rear silencers, not the full system so shouldn't be too loud.

What like having a GT version suits it?

Ferraris are meant to be loud, not civilised ponce wagons. You might as well have an electric motor under there!

The prospect of buying this car is making me younger, and I can prove it. Look what turned up this morning :-



No sensible 41 year old would buy such a thing

[GT2man-2]

I try to get a 1:18 model of each car I've owned as a reminder.. though I'm not quite 41 yet

Ditto

But then I went mad, and bought about 30 of them :|

So now, instead of every car I have owned, its Every Car I will Own.

have 2 1:18 Red 550's

Same here...

Got a Murcielago, 550 and a 360spyder looking over me at the moment.

[waynesworld] They will be mine.... oh yes... they will be mine [/waynesworld]

[Badapple]

Me too, bought my first one last week

Well its up to indicidual owners if they want a louder car or not.

Reality is however that 'loudness' is amusing for those on the outside, mildly amusing for those on the inside who use their car for limited travel and downright anoying for those that use the car on anything more than an occasional jaunt.

To me the 550 /575 is all about a velvet 12 cylinder destroying almost everythibg on the road but in a civilised way. The ones Ive heard with a tubi loose that essential element to the experience.

What really matters is that the owner likes it and I mean liked it after a few months!!! many on ferrari chat have removed their tubis from 550 and 456
