Just picked up my "new" '01 360 Spider from Ferrari Beverly Hills

What a class act. After I paid for the car, Bryant, the manager at Ferrari Beverly Hills, takes a look at the tires and says "Well, those tires are still very good, but not for a car being sold by us. I can't have you driving this car without new tires. Let us throw in 4 new tires." Sure enough, when I went to pick up the car yesterday, it was wearing the new tires!

And the Tubi exhaust! Wow!! My 5 year old thought it was pretty cool too.

Wow thats a nice looking 360. Congrats! Can you (someone) explain the whole Tubi thing to me? I mean, i know ALL cars can be modded (even exotics) but other than sound, does this exhaust really add power? Looks? etc?

Just curious...im sure it sounds MEAN tho...just wondering how an amazing car gets any better?

I can't explain the whole thing except that typically a major reason for purchasing a 360 spider is to be seen. Therefore, if you wish to be seen, it follows that you also wish to be heard, so that people will look at you and therefore you will be seen.

As far as power, I have only driven my 360 spider, which has a Tubi exhaust and my comparison for power, is that this car is as fast as my 996 twin turbo was at the track, which actually pleasantly surprised me. I am certain there are "tests" that have compared with and without Tubi, but, I have found these type of tests often to be either inaccurate or dependent on numerous variables.

The best advice I received was listen to a standard 360 exhaust and also to a Tubi (and Capristo) equipped one and make up your mind. I cannot believe anyone changes exhausts for the difference in power, if any.

Good luck and you have a beautiful car.

Robert

You are dealing with the best Ferrari salesman there is. Bryant a good friend of mine and always takes care of his customers. Congrats on the car. By the way which one did you buy?

here is a link of various exhaust systems for 360 vs. stock. you be the judge. btw, i just installed X-Host on my 360. it's the last one and perhaps, the best sounding one (imo).
