Default Tell me it ain't so, an Audi that sounds as good as a Vette

I have to admit, all cars have their own special note, and they all sound good including my little Mazda, but the Corvette's has always been special. After hearing this Audi RS4 I was tingling all over, and it wasn't because Falcon was tickling my ears.

Amazing what a Tubi exhaust can do.

Drive an Audi at a racetrack for free:

I noticed the description said "Silencer". My personal opinion is that it will not do at all.

one of the guys I used to AutoX with in Europe had one. Beautiful car. Fast as hell especially when you consider the size of the car. It's factory stock down to the tires.

Can you put these on your race cars?

Just tell them it is "off the shelf"

Hey Rob, do you have the Tubi exhaust on your 360? That would sound sweet.

Tom, I bet that would sound really good. However, since I usually stay in trouble with GA about being too close to the 106.9 db limit anyway, they would probably fuss about it.

I had thought about a Tubi for the 360, but when I saw that price tag I ran in the other direction. As it turned out, Ferrari had added a sport exhaust option in 2004 which just happened to be on the red 360. I swapped exhausts for a fraction of the cost and then sold the red car. The sport exhaust may have been made by Tubi anyway. The Tubi factory is just down the street.

I just spoke with Tubi USA about this for the Corvette. He said at nearly $2000 per exhaust system they only sold a little over 20 units in the US. So they are out there... you've just gotta keep a sharp eye out for one of them. He said they took 2 days to build, and were more labor intensive than the exhausts for the Ferrari's. I asked about sound clips but he said he didn't have anything but the tone was very deep and hit you in the chest.

I'm gonna have to keep a look out for one....

Got the Tubi's on my Annie. Nothing out there sounds like these. Far far better than anything out there IMO. The workmanship on these are way above what is available here in the states also.

I had a set of Tubi's on order about 3 years ago. At that time they were $1150. After about 8 months on order, Tubi USA told me they could not supply a set for me.
About a year ago, a set was offered on the forum for about $450. I was an hour too late. Four months later the same set was up for sale again. Missed it that time by less than an hour. I believe the set ended up in New Jersey.
I still want a set.

I bought a set of Stainless works LT's last year and the guy was selling the Tubi with it. I just didn't like the tips
