Abarth exhaust Volvo Amazon
Hi
Does anyone have an Abarth exhaust system on their car? I am considering buying a complete Abarth system for my 123GT and before doing so wanted to hear from someone who has experienced what they are like. Do they sound good? How load are they? I can not find a decent clip on youtube with the car driving as it gets up through the rev range. I have the simons exhaust system and do not like the sound at all. Thanks |

I don't have an Abarth exhaust system but I am planning to replace the stock exhaust on my '67 P220. What is it about the sound of the Simons system that don't you like ? How would you compare it to the stock system ?
Thanks Greg |

I can't comment on sound 'quality'. On my 142 I used to have either an Abarth or an Ansa exhaust system - briefly. I can't remember which brand, just that it was one of the 'As'. It was a brief ownership because the cannisters appeared to have been fabricated from from re cycled soup cans and after two years of all season driving had developed some significant extra exhaust outlets due to rust out. I have had the Simons sport exhaust on my 142 since 2014 and the aluminized steel system shows no visible rusting (although I don't drive in the winter).
Check the construction of the Abarth system. If they have switched to stainless steel on the cannisters and pipes then perhaps rust out is no longer an issue. If they are still using soup can construction, perhaps give them a pass. |
