First update - development of the exhaust is almost completed:

Here you can see the electric valve system:

These will be my exhaust tipps (Nikel with titanium coating, double wall with insulating fiber inside, black).
They were designed and developed based on my individual preferences.

They've also developed pipes for a cat removal version. I won't need them because in Germany it would be illegal (so I will keep the cat) but maybe for some of you that could be interesting.

I expect to get a first sound video tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I?ve picked up my car and drove back to Germany last weekend. The exhaust sound is amazing even if Tubi Style had to re-install the oem middle silencer to pass the eu homologation. For everyone who doesn?t need to care about eu laws they have developed a replacement for the middle silencer and they?ve also developed downpipes. The control unit (remote) is also amazing. The sound can be described as a very deep growl on low rpm and if you release the acceleration pedal there is some really nice bubbling sound. With valves closed in my setup the sound is sporty present but not much louder than stock - so the car keeps it?s GT concept. From the moment you open the valves you can experience the characteristics of the parts developed with Ferrari experience and passion.

The reason why I did not post a video yet is that the growl it makes consists of very deep low frequencies. I tried to take a video with my iPhone but if you review the video the recorded sound has nothing common with the real thing. So i?ve ordered an external microphone which I will receive on Friday so that I can create a proper video for you guys at the weekend. Stay tuned - you will love it! If you were always missing an impressive sports car sound when pressing the Stinger engine start button the wait is over now!

Here is one more teaser for you... it sounds even better than it looks like!
