Do I or don't I? If so, which one do you recommend?

Thanks for the advice. I've gone for the Tubi.

I disagree with the "doesn't suit the car" point of view. I think it suits the car very well. After all, the Maser is a performance GT and competes amongst the 575, 911 etc. Of its peers its the only one with a crap exhaust note when pushed - even the new Conti GT sounds better than a stock 3200.

Lack of exhaust note has been my biggest grumble about the car ever since I got it over 2 years ago. If Porsche can get the exhaust note right on their turbo cars, then its about time Maserati did.

I also looked at the insurance angle in some depth - here goes. In year 1, the warranty is by Maserati Spa - they refuse cover if there is a sports exhaust. In yrs 2 and 3 its a dealer warranty and the insurer is UK based and (apparently) has no issue with a sports exhaust.

Will post another sound file once its fitted and I get it to Germany!
