not bad, but I prefer it in combination with the straight thru center pipe!
Why didn't you mount it horizontally (the right end is lower than the left one)?

Henk

Very nice Stu
How much difference does it sound to the original tho

Hi Henk, with 2 young kids in the back, it was a big NO from her in doors about the centre pipe.
And i work nights, finnish about 4.30 am so would not make me popular with the locals.
She is only at a very slight angle, i am happy with it, had it fitted for free, me no good at car stuff.

Alfa20V Very nice Stu

Had the kids all day so could not give it the full monty, took her down the M4 though the gears, she sounded great & at tick over she has much more presence.
Cheers
Stu

Let her get used to the new Ragga, and then discuss it again (in three days or so)
That's how it worked for me, only that I started with the centre pipe ...

have fun with it!

Cheers pal, can't see me doing it this year, but maybe next if she chills out
Stu

Sounds Great

Well for what its worth I started with a Ragazzon dual exhaust with a straight thru centre pipe, and then ditched the centre pipe for a Supersprint mid section.
Oooh the relief from the boomy drone..

For those who have heard my car, that is the quiet version!

looks Great Stu

I notice that the middle bit of your rear bumper has been removed, when mine was 'rear ended' last year that part of my bumper was smashed and the difference to high speed handling was worrying to say the least, I was very relieved when my new bumper was fitted, just an observation but for my part I wouldn't want to be without it.

Cheers guys for the comments.

gtachris, keeping my fingers crossed for Christmas, i have not done much more that 120mph and she feels stable as did my old 156 V6 did at 140 odd mph, but cheers for the info pal.

Nice tips!

Whilst watching the video... I had this image of the camera rolling back when you opened her up...

Has 2 bricks set up ready & set here just out of reach, i did wonder though if i would still have a camera after a few rev's
Stu

I will try to make another vid in a few weeks to see if the sound has changed

Never would have thought that part could have any influence on aerodynamics
Are you serious with that?

nice dude

YEs, its an underbody diffuser that helps keep the ass on the ground at high speed.

Having it removed will almost certainly mess up the airflow significantly.

Yep, really made a difference, it is a TB says a diffuser, It may make even more difference on a sportwagon than saloon though, Alfa put that on rather than a spoiler, remember these cars are capable of 155mph.

@ Stu I think the price of that part seperatly was about £169, one of the garages i went too only wanted to replace that piece but i insisted on a new bumper, total bumper cost was about £500, with fitting and painting the other chaps insurance had to fork out £997, quite a bit for about a 10mph shunt!
