Tubies are for wimps 
I got a pipe fitted to my 360 by John Pogson (hand made) it bangs out 115db at 4000 and over 125db at 6000 god knows what it is on full chatt in fourth going up a hill.
Makes my ears bleed, but it’s a total blast.
I have run it at Oulton park a few times and I had to cheat on the noise test (only 3500 RPM) and only just got away with it so a tubi should be no problem

John owns and runs Italia Auto Sport www.italia-autosport.com/start/start.aspx
He is a good friend as well as the chap who has looked after my 360 for the last 2 years. He’s a top chap and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any body to take there fezer there.
The pipe he fitted for me cost less than a grand "fitted", its all stainless and looks similar to a tubi but I had the tail pipes polished and they have "blued" to a fantastic shade of gold, as my car is yellow they look the dogs.
Sorry I dint have any video but I will make one and post it here if I can figure out how to post video.
But here is a pic or two from Oulton Park for now

You were very lucky to get it past their test if its producing 114 at 4000 - Oulton's limit is 105db and they test around the circuit too.
- any further comments to add

I know several people told me before I went that there might be problems, but I have run there three times now and got away with it.
Sound is a strange thing, usually a 360 has a very high pitch scream but the new pipes give a much lower frequency sound.
Although at close range the pipes sound very loud at a distance they are not as bad as you would think.
I ran the car at Silverstone and when my mate went out I stood on the pit lane wall expecting to hear a screaming animal speed past but was disappointed as it didn’t sound as loud as I expected, in fact there where a couple of F430's that sounded the same.
I wonder if its something to do with high frequency sound travelling better than low frequency sound, so close up its very loud but at a distance the sound is lost. Or it could be the fact that the sound is not a crackly high pitch but a loud growl that makes it sound better.
Any way I have got away with it.
