I think the Abarth 500 still sounds more aggressive, but this muffler delete from AutoRicambi makes the 124 sound like it should from the factory. Nice way to shed a few pounds, too.
@@BookAutowerksI noticed (@4:08 mark) the twin tips fit nicely in the plastic exhaust cut outs, that was one of my concerns. I think I’m ready to call AR to put my order in. I will order the resonated exhaust, cause I’m still not sure if the sound will be to annoying for me on long highway trips. Any suggestions, thanks.
@@alexbellesia9676 do you have an Abarth or a Classica/Lusso? The Classica and Lusso have a factory midpipe resonator and don't need the resonated exhaust. The Abarth doesn't have a midpipe resonator so you might want the resonated one.
I thoroughly enjoy your vids, especially the fiat 124 spider ones, as I too have one. I’m in Ontario Canada and I heard that the reverse/brake light area at the bottom is only for show in Canada and US models as to Europe ones, yet I noticed your reverse light light up when you had the car on the stands… did you yourself hook the brake and reverse lights to the bottom light kit that sits at the lower end rear of the car? If so. Did you create a vid on that? Or would you ever do one showing us not to car savvy users how to do this correctly? Thx a million… keep up the great vids
Mine came that way. Would be odd for them to not hook it up as reverse lights are required in the US. I'll compare mine to someone else's at our next FIAT meet to see how they are.
Before you could barely hear the car with the top down, but now I think it sounds just right. It's slightly more muted than a factory Abarth 500 if you know what those sound like.
Same hangers on the MX5 and they were a bitch. I don't remember standard size nuts and bolts though. Now your Fiat 124 no muffler matches your 4C's factory no muffler system. Sounds way better, I'd like to hear it in the higher RPM.
Yeah I struggled to get that first hanger loose for like 10min. After getting the one loose it gave enough wiggle room that the others came out easy. I could come do a donut in your cul de sac if you'd like... LoL
Was that originally a 4 tip exhaust? I saw the original come off and it just had the two straight pipes? Missing the ends? Just wanna make sure I’m looking at the same original exhaust (record manza?).
@@BookAutowerks Oh, I forgot to mention that I bought the pipes based on your video so, there’s that. 🤷🏻🙏🏼 I’m assuming 🤞🏼 that it will fit mine the same as yours? The Abarth sounds equally lame with factory exhaust.
That was one of the easiest exhaust replacements I've ever seen and it sounds great!
Thanks, man. So far the FIATA is pretty easy to wrench on.
Wow that exhaust really wakes up the sound of your 124
Great install video thank you👍

Great video, thanks for sharing. It looks and sounds great.
Thanks for watching!
Great detail video, really sound’s better/amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!

OMG, what a huge difference...sounds amazing! Now that you have had it for a while do you think it sounds too loud or is it just right?

@@BookAutowerks Do you get any drone when you're driving with the top up?
@@Mike-uq3yq A little bit. The wind and road noise is still louder than the drone.
@@BookAutowerks ok great thanks for the response!

Book Autowerks Come on over! Then we will go hit cow creek

Mine is the Classica trim level which has a factory two tip exhaust. The Abarths have a factory four tip muffler.
@@BookAutowerks Thanks very much for the response. BTW, your video, including editing and jokes (enjoyed the bird approval), was most excellent !

@@petertraina haha, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah they fit great on the Abarths as well.
@@BookAutowerks Still sound good with automatic transmission ?
Is this the resonated or non resonated version
non resonated
Book Autowerks gonna have to order one tonight! Perhaps I’ll pass by you at Cars and Coffee
Muffler bearing? Would you find that next to the blinker fluid?
Same isle as the replacement electrical smoke.
Let’s compare exhausts tomorrow!
We'll definitely meet up soon.
What is that exaust
