    David,

    Do you have a Tubi on your 98 spider? The resonance is the only worry I have with a Tubi and the spider.


    Thanks for the comment.

    Looks beautiful, Mario, just fantastic. But you can't put it on the track w/o a rollbar - we're hosed!

    Lawwdog,
    can't agree at all with comments on Tubi; i have one with straight thru' pipes on my Spider and the difference over stock made me think i was driving a different car. As has been mentioned, it's all down to personal preference but i wouldn't go back to stock.
    Regards
    Tony

    I just looked in my service manual, and it apears that the exhaust system of the 96+ cars is not as free flowing as the exhaust system on the 95s (either).

    I think I will need to take a ride in Tubi equiped spider and make my own judgement. For me, half the enjoyment of driving a Ferrari is listening to the engine and exhaust. I love to rev through every tunnel I drive through.

    Congratulations, Mario! Beautiful car! Can't wait to see it. Perhaps you could join us for one of our breakfast runs. It would be fun.

    Do you know if Cargraphic does an exhaust for your car? I have one on my 360 and sounds awesome!

    Thanks Normin. I have been watching the Nor Cal link for a Breakfast but nothing seems to come together. I am looking forward to a drive with you guys. Anything planned for Super Bowl Sunday???????

    I have not looked into the Cargraphic system...do you know of anyone with it on a 355?

    What the f*** where you thinking posting only one picture?????

    Rob,
    have this guy banned for 2 days. I'd say two days for not posting enough pictures should be okay.

    :)

    I would drive a Tubi 355 Spider before installing one. But if you get one for a decent price you can reverse it. It was too loud for me. In a Berlinetta it would be quite different.

    Some mid position would be cool. My 360 spyder is a bit much too with a Tubi. I go back and forth on it.

    I've got the 355 GTS and I love the Tubi. I couldn't imagine what it would be like w/out it. However, I do have the rear glass to shield direct noise. Other spider owners would know better ...........Just my $.02

    Beautiful Car. Enjoy

    Rob,

    You should have this guy banned from F-chat for 7 days for posting a fish symbol under his profile. I find it very offensive and can't find a single reason why his original cleavage bearing Ferrari girl has been taken off. What the F*** Martin! Have you been talking with J Scott Leanord again ? :)

    Now bring that girl back and go to confession!

    Hey Mario,
    I don't know of anyone with a cargraphic'd 355, but when I got the cargraphic for my 550 (prior to the 360), the company said they would take it back for a full refund no questions asked if I wasn't satisfied with it. Certainly took the risk out of the purchase. Needless to say, I never returned it.

    I think Dan is going to try to set up a breakfast within the next few weeks.

    Will you be in the area on superbowl sunday? That might be a bad day for me as I must spend the day watching my Philadelphia Eagles kick some butt!!! :)
