TUBI STYLE: The Voice of Maranello & The Soul of Italian Supercars
There are thousands of exhaust manufacturers, but only one is synonymous with the sound of Ferrari. That is Tubi Style. Located in Maranello, Italy—literally across the street from the Ferrari factory—Tubi breathes the same racing air. When you walk past their facility, you can hear the Fiorano test track in the background. Tubi Style isn't just about pipes; it's a musical instrument played by your V8, V10, or V12 engine.
ATOMIC-SHOP is an official partner of Tubi Style. We offer exclusive systems for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, and McLaren. This is the choice for those who believe a supercar should sound like an opera singer, not a jackhammer.
The Legend of Fausto Lettieri: Born from F1
The company was founded by Fausto Lettieri, a legendary welder who worked for the Ferrari F1 team during its most dramatic years. He personally hand-welded manifolds for Gilles Villeneuve's cars. In 1987, he decided to bring F1 technology to road cars.
His first client was a Ferrari F40 owner who wanted a more aggressive sound. Since then, Tubi Style has been the unofficial "voice" of Ferrari. Even today, the iconic scream of a Ferrari 355 or 550 Maranello is often thanks to Tubi.
Materials: Why Inconel beats Titanium
While many brands chase titanium, Tubi Style uses Inconel 625 for its top-tier applications. This is a nickel-chromium superalloy derived from aerospace and F1.
Advantages of Inconel:
1. Heat Resistance: It withstands temperatures over 1000°C, where titanium becomes brittle and stainless steel melts. This is critical for mid-engine supercars with tight engine bays.
2. Resonance: Due to its strength, tube walls can be as thin as 0.7mm. This creates a unique, high-pitched resonance that defines the Tubi sound character.
Acoustics: The Symphony of High Frequencies
The Tubi sound is unmistakable. While American and German exhausts often aim for deep bass and rumble, the Italian school of Tubi is different.
Their goal is the "F1 Scream." Engineers tune the resonators to emphasize high frequencies. As the tachometer crosses 6000 RPM, the sound transforms into a piercing, metallic wail that raises goosebumps. It is raw emotion that cannot be faked by speakers or valves.
Tubi Style Classic: Restoring Legends
This makes the brand unique. Tubi Style is the only major manufacturer with a dedicated Vintage & Restoration division.
Do you own a 1968 Lamborghini Miura or a Ferrari 250 GTO? OEM parts no longer exist. Tubi Style retrieves archival blueprints from the 60s and manufactures exact replicas of the original exhausts ("Ansa style") but using modern, durable 304 stainless steel. This preserves the authenticity and value of collector cars.
The Lineup: Standard vs. Rumore
Tubi offers variety to suit the driver's personality:
| Version | Character | Target Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Tubi Sound (Standard) | Refined, slightly louder than stock, distinct tone. | Gentleman Driver. For those who drive their Ferrari daily and appreciate elegance over sheer volume. |
| Tubi Rumore (Loud) | Maximum volume, minimal baffling. | Adrenaline Junkie. Uncompromising sound. Direct flow, pops and bangs, pure drama. |
| Valved Systems | Integrated with factory Sport/Corsa buttons. | Modern Tech. Quiet cruising, screaming redline. Full ECU compatibility. |
Thermal Insulation: Space Tech
Modern supercars run hot. Exhausts sit inches away from carbon fiber bumpers and sensitive electronics. Tubi Style uses patented Co-molded Insulation technology. The heat shielding isn't just wrapped around; it's integrated into the muffler body under pressure. This reduces engine bay temperatures by up to 40%, protecting your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Tubi Style void the warranty?
Tubi Style is one of the few aftermarket brands viewed favorably by dealers. Since they supply components for many factory programs, installing a Cat-Back system generally does not affect the warranty, provided the catalytic converters remain intact.
Will I get a Check Engine Light (CEL)?
With standard Tubi systems (retaining cats), there will be no CEL. If you choose race headers or de-cat pipes, an ECU tune is mandatory to prevent errors. Tubi also offers specific error cancellers for certain models.
Can I just buy the tips?
Yes, for many models (like Porsche 911 or BMW M), Tubi offers standalone exhaust tips. Available in polished steel, black ceramic, or the signature "burnt titanium" look, they are an easy way to add Italian flair without changing the whole system.
