Having just seen this thread and planning my own Euro trip for 4 weeks time I have realised I need to budget for a few hundred more litres of fuel! :biggrin3:

Just had a run of pad125's vid of the Livigno tunnel run linked in page 5 again, awesome! :rocker: Would probably sound even better now that I have my non-res valved exhaust.

Absolutely....my ears are still bleeding from following pad125 through Livigno :kissmyrings:

The trip had it all in six fun packed days.

I keep deliberating on whether to get a Tubi Rumore exhaust; part of me says it'll be too much and I'll never be able to take it anywhere with noise restrictions.

Then I watch this video and fall in love with the sound!

Just sounded like when Grahame drop us off in the Swiss town for drink using my car, first time I’d heard from the outside, thanks G. I'm off to work tomorrow morning at 5.15 wonder how may of the neighbours I can wake up :)

Just wish they did a valved version as I would have had one in a heartbeat.

They do now P_G as I contacted Manu at Scuderia Systems for a quote recently and he gave me a list of available options.

The options are:

1. Normal Tubi exhaust
2. Normal Tubi exhaust with valve operation. (Also available with wireless remote control function)
3. Racing Tubi exhaust (rumore)
4. Racing Tubi Exhaust (rumore) with valve operation. (Also available with wireless remote control function)

And then there is the price..... :shock:

I have a non res valved now and I admit it is not as tuneful as a Tubi but it does me fine. You never see these for sale second hand either.

Yeh it's around £1600 + VAT for the non valved so will be even more for the valved version.

I don't get why you need a wireless remote - to let the passengers play with the exhaust note?
