iAmDevil I got the resonated catless downpipe on order, coming next week. If it doesn't cut the rasp over a regular catless downpipe I will be back to stock. It sounds PERFECT from the factory. The sound my Cabrio makes with the top back is GLORIOUS 😎
I think the high flow cat sounds the best all around idk I just love the raspiness and it seems like it actually makes the turbo just a little louder it really screams rally car I need to pick one of these up
One of the best exhaust comparisons I've ever seen. I can say one thing after this, I'm going catless. The 3inch downpipes sound like rice, definitely going to go with a smaller pipe like RRM. It seems to keep the Abarth sound, and add some extra turbo whistle, and take some of the muffled sound out at high revs.
this video is awesome but really doesn't let you hear just how loud the catless DP really is. I just installed mine and holy shit...its sooo loud...the backfire is also louder...I live in queens, NY so it's fun watching people ducking and getting scared...sounds like gunshots...I love it
Loving the Road Race Motorsports Hi-flow Cat downpipe for all tests. Sounds great. The decat sounds great but makes me feel the bark is more than the bite.
I guess I'm the only one that likes the sound of the Road Race pipe, just seems to have a deeper sound to me. My son bought a 2015 Abarth a couple days ago with only 30 miles on it. I may have grown up in the muscle car era, but that Abarth is just plain FUN! It is a blast to drive, I'm seriously thinking about buying one for myself, lol.
That's fantastic! Hope your son loves his Abarth. I own the red one in the video and I have since put the road race pipe on it. I love it because it accentuates the existing abarth sound without changing it.
Awesome Video! Listening to these sounds warms the cockles of my heart. While I'm a big fan of the Catless DP sound with its throaty and metallic calls, the Hi-Flow Cat DP definitely is a nice medium between the stock and Catless. Just enough to keep the muted and clean sound of factory, but also to hear the rumble of the Revs; something for me to look forward to when I start modding my little Piccolo Rosso!
Yeah it is just like these amazing sound notes! My '08 G.Punto Sport T-Jet sounds more like the first one.. was made in Italy and 1H,30mins drive from me ..
Stock for me. I keep watching these videos thinking I want to change my pipes but I always end up thinking stock is the best all rounder. I can leave the house without too much upset and it still sounds good when I pull away. The only thing I will do is buy a rear section with straight pipe and no silencer. Great video!!
May I dare say that I like the original, more base sound best in most situations? Impressive achivement with such a small engine. I like the non cat sound if i were on a track.
Question, Does the RRM Downpipe cat bolt to the stock exhaust components of the 1.4 engine, or is any replacing required to fit. Also, would the menthioned Downpipe cat fit a 1.4 Tjet (non abarth 120hp version) exhaust system. Would be great if anybody could answer the 2nd question
I wish my ecotec 1.4 turbo sounded as good as the Fiat/Dart 1.4 turbo...... must be different cam timing, exhaust valve metrics... all the setups I've heard for my ecotec get super raspy... but on these and the Darts they always have an excellent gurgle and SRT4 sound
On my 2015 abarth it has full stock exhaust only have intake right now but I feel like when it gets into higher rpm’s it gets quieter. And in lower rpm it’s louder.
razerremix I agree with you. My friend that runs this youtube channel is a reallly techy person and did a really good job with all the fancy editing stuff. I just directed and recorded the video haha.
Kevin Slowiak I think so. Since filming this video I have upgraded to the high flow. It’s basically the stock tone amplified. It’s significantly louder but there isn’t a bad drone imo.
ok so between the high-flow and the catless, the catless will be louder but with bad drone. while the high-flow is louder than stock but the drone is better than catless?? @@wideabarth
Kevin Slowiak in a nutshell, yeah. The cat less is even louder than the high flow. But I’d say with the high flow there is still that nice stock tone without it being insanely raspy and untamed.
Great video, must admit the stock hands down. That's the great thing about this car you don't really need to do anything. All I have in my 2014 Abarth is the Go-Pedal that's all this car needs.
PIck your poison, they all sound good. Plus consider all the other mods the non stock Abarths have, you have to consider how much tuning goes into adding a downpipe along with all the other mods.
For sure! I'll need a couple weeks yet. Although it won't be with muffler. Right now I am running stock down pipe, stock midpipe and muffler delete (pretty much a muffler shop bent a straight pipe after the mid) I'm concerned it maybe too loud so I might throw a resonator in there somewhere. But if I do a resonator I'll be sure to make two videos with before and after. If you go through my videos I have one of the muffler delete.
@@wideabarth thanks for the response! Yeah the ending made me so happy that I subscribed! Oh and I found me one, idk how I feel about it being a vert though..
do you guys know if a performance cat will be available for the jeep renegade 1.4. or if you know what is compatible from the 500 Abarth to the renegade
My Abarth is loud enough and sounds great, all of these cars sound great but which one is going to give me more HP/torque and not set off the CEL constantly.
Both a high flow cat and catless will likely set off your CEL. I switched to the high flow and that gave me one. However I have a flash tune now and that got rid of the CEL for the P0420 catalyst code.
No way that what they did to that last dark gray abarth is street legal, please tell me it is tho, you say it affects emissions, will the car still be able to pass the car tests then if it's so much more polluting? Also what would it cost to make a stock abarth sound like the dark gray abarth? Thanks in advance!
Hi Minutemadex! Yes taking out the cat will make it illegal depending on your country and state. Taking out the catalytic converter in the downpipe will eliminate all cats because that's the only one in the entire exhaust system of the US Abarth. I'm interested as well if it will pass smog test as even without a cat, I think it's less polluting than most old american trucks or suvs. The catless downpipe that I got is by mpx which has the brackets for the stock heat shield and that will make me pass at least a visual inspection. Regarding cost, I paid around $200 for the decat pipe. Hope that helps :D
Oliver Slacke Hi Oliver! The black abarth has madness's version of the eurocompulsion V3. It's actually a very quiet intake. The "PSSSSSS" you hear is most likely from his Forge full replacement Blow Off Valve
Hey !!! GREAT JOB ! I have a question... I have a 500T... Should I keep the original exhaust or change it for an Abarth Exhaust ? I've seen they are pretty similar, so i don't wanna waste money
With a single exit on the 500T your exhaust would be quite a bit louder if you changed out the downpipe for one with less restrictions. Also because you don't have the t-bend that the abarth has (to make it a dual exhaust) you can shoot fireballs too if you run a bit rich. A couple of my buddies have T's and another with an auto abarth did a single exit conversion.
At the time he had the Madness V2 piggyback, not a flash tune. But it's not necessary. He and myself now both have the Euro+Drive Phase 2 Flash Tune from Eurocompulsion.
Quality review. Great to hear the differences. I have a standard A500...a peach of a car...and the stock exhaust tone is what clinched the deal to get one.

haha
Dude, thank you! This helped x
take note rest this is how u make an exhaust video that doesnt suck
Thank you horchata!
wideabarth I agree. Good sound quality and good comparisons.
Catless wins for the high 5500+ revs. However, stock (IMO) sounds better all together. I guess FIAT engineered that exhaust perfectly.
iAmDevil they started out making exhausts actually so they have the most experience

I spent to much time on that game so long ago
Exactly anyone who remember the race where you won the rally car from Toyota?
Yes!! It's been like 12 years! Damn when it hit me what that music was...

Cold morning startup? That's the one that'll get you hate from the neighbors at 5:30am...
Alvin Brinson I'm grateful my neighbors like me and my car haha
Its 4 am for me haha gotta love that abarth life
Or even better, they’ll look at the small red car and think “no that’s not it, where is the loud car?”
Stock sounds best, maybe slightly losing at higher rpm. Performance is other side....

It's the best!

wideabarth I was thinking the same thing😂
This is awesome. Thank you for keeping us from some boring talking intro and just jumping right into it.
Glad you enjoyed!
I'm gonna have to say I like the Catless the best. Usually not a fan of loud cars but that noise is too good.
I went ATP high flow. Worth it to me. It's still super loud but not crazy obnoxious.
catless for the win! love that catless sound on the fiat. Sounds aggressive!
Stock for me. I keep watching these videos thinking I want to change my pipes but I always end up thinking stock is the best all rounder. I can leave the house without too much upset and it still sounds good when I pull away. The only thing I will do is buy a rear section with straight pipe and no silencer. Great video!!
I just installed the atp hi flow, it sounds amazing. Ill post a video, definitely better then rrm in my opinion
But if you been on stock for a few months just enjoy it, till you decide if you want to change it
thank you! I hope you found it helpful :)
congrats on the new downpipe!

That catless at 6k RPM is just beautiful 😢
A catless Rosso for me, please!!!
Probably the best exhaust video ever made
I like the sound of the stock one best.
They growl like a beast. Superb. I'd rather listen to this all day than my woman.
May I dare say that I like the original, more base sound best in most situations? Impressive achivement with such a small engine. I like the non cat sound if i were on a track.

Yeah man the sound was one of my main reasons for purchasing the car. After nearly 3 years of owning it, still in love with the sound every day.
On my 2015 abarth it has full stock exhaust only have intake right now but I feel like when it gets into higher rpm’s it gets quieter. And in lower rpm it’s louder.
Any idea on power gains vs just sound?
not a clue haha
Catless are very Crank ! The Abarth are stock very loudless (open valve) but catless OMG hahaha
I have a short clip of my cat less down pipe on my page for those that want to see it
Wow pull back a go I had one as a child
Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison video! Great work!
razerremix I agree with you. My friend that runs this youtube channel is a reallly techy person and did a really good job with all the fancy editing stuff. I just directed and recorded the video haha.
is there a big difference between stock and hi-flow while driving and under load?

Hola que tal, haz tenido algun problema con el auto después de la reprogramación?
The stock one sounds the best
How bad is the smell on catless downpipe

Migliore configurazione? Eliminare catalizzatore e mantenere scarico stock ? Grazie a chi mi risponderà
questa è la configurazione migliore secondo me. suona alla grande nella vita reale 👍
Fantastic comparo

PIck your poison, they all sound good. Plus consider all the other mods the non stock Abarths have, you have to consider how much tuning goes into adding a downpipe along with all the other mods.
Angry little meatballs..
Catless, no contest. I'd probably install a short Magnapack or resonator with it to keep the power of catless but make sure there's no drone.
Stock sounds the best
Surprised, the stock one sounds throatiest / best
I just want to know what blow off set up the middle abarth has
Iirc it was the forge atmospheric bov
Stock wins
Thanks for the comparison!!! Going catless on my 500T

do you guys know if a performance cat will be available for the jeep renegade 1.4. or if you know what is compatible from the 500 Abarth to the renegade

Hey !!! GREAT JOB !
I have a question... I have a 500T... Should I keep the original exhaust or change it for an Abarth Exhaust ?
I've seen they are pretty similar, so i don't wanna waste money
Valentin Uribe Abarth exhaust look much cooler but they do sound similar I have an Abarth and got it as my first car .. It's a last I'm 16
With a single exit on the 500T your exhaust would be quite a bit louder if you changed out the downpipe for one with less restrictions. Also because you don't have the t-bend that the abarth has (to make it a dual exhaust) you can shoot fireballs too if you run a bit rich. A couple of my buddies have T's and another with an auto abarth did a single exit conversion.
Thanks man ! @2goons arefly
@abarthisti Thank you for your answer and your time ! I appreciate it !
You got it!
Did you have to do a ecu tune with catless I heard that it's need because of all the extra air going in the turbo
At the time he had the Madness V2 piggyback, not a flash tune. But it's not necessary. He and myself now both have the Euro+Drive Phase 2 Flash Tune from Eurocompulsion.
That's what I was going to do
awesome!
Thanks!
Quality review. Great to hear the differences. I have a standard A500...a peach of a car...and the stock exhaust tone is what clinched the deal to get one.

Michael Harris why so much hate? Listen to the european abarths, they sound if not the same, similar. That's even before the fiat/chrysler partnership.
did you just say peach wtf
British term. Just like Yanks say…that sounds "rad".
Are all these car running stock mufflers?
MrSagerific95 all abarths in the US come with no mufflers from the factory
What is the brand of the cat less downpipe?
Julien Miron-sylvain I believe it was MPx or ATP
Can anyone tell me if the Catless DP gives a CEL
Yes it does, but it depends on how sensitive your car is. For some, they get a CEL immediately after installing a catless downpipe. For me, the CEL only pops up every 200 miles. I think an O2 sensor spacer will get rid of my CEL.
Wie bekommt man nur aus so einen klein Motor nur so ein geilen Klang raus...
Die Autos kommen aus der Fabrik ohne Schalldämpfer. Es ist beeindruckend!
Very nice vid!
does the catless downpipe effect emissions?
Yes it does affect emissions.
Is thoses exhaust are decat or whatelse?
it's a mix of stock cat, high flow cat, and catless. It says so in the video.
stock sounds best
