Ragazzon backbox exhaust

[JimmyTB]

Hi,
I have not had my car for long but already i have noticed it is lacking in the sound department when giving it some stick. I know it will never sound like an AMG merc but i would like something a little more dramatic than the standard system.
There are a few of aftermarket exhausts for the mito but the ragazzon seems to be the choice of many including the fiat guys. There is one on ebay atm i have been looking at and it is a lot cheaper than buying a brand new one! What are thoughts on the ragazzon backbox? Also how much would it be for fitting?
Many Thanks, Jim

It would cost £5,000 to be fitted as I wanna win that exhaust!!

I've had the girlfriends grande punto rear silencer changed to the twin abarth one and cost me £50 to be fitted and they are pretty much same.

i have got the full system, sounds awesome.

cruising at 70-80 on the motorway doesn't sound any louder then the standard exhaust which is good, as on a long journey i wouldn't like a loud base line.

its only when you really put your foot down you get a nice raspy whooshing noise.

as i had the full system and then a remap it made a big difference to performance also.

i have tried to doa video to capture the sound but it doesnt do it any justice.

it took 2 hours to fit the full system by the way, so im guessing about an hour from the cat back.

just looked on ebay and its the same as mine, can check my pics if u wanna see what it looks like. i also wanted to keep the factory sort of look. looks a bit too chavy to go sticking on 4 exhausts

I have a Ragrazzo exhaust... Sounds amazing... Not too loud. Coming up to MOT time soo so I'll see what emissions are like think about that when I come to it.

Have you just got a backbox? Emissions should be fine with just the box

I've been looking into this as well...
Would it be worth getting this on a 95bhp veloce mito?

[towney]

i would say yes it would be worth it for the sound + the ragazzon looks good on. sits much better then the stock exhaust in my eyes.

I cant see you getting much if any extra performance thou from just a backbox.

[SurfingMito]

Purely the fact it would still sound better has sold it too me!

[JimmyTB]

Seriously thinking about getting this, will the rubber hangers have to be changed atall to fit it?

[wo0dy]

messaged the guys off ebay with the ragazzon that finishes today. Its off a 120TB, from looking on ragazzon website, it lists other models like my 155TB as a different part number; so presume slightly different? Sent me some other pictures to look at condition and looks mint. Though they can be had for £300 new!

[JimmyTB]

I suppose, but then it needs to be shipped over here from italy so that must be expensive, and are like hens teeth on ebay too!

[wo0dy]

Sold at 169.99, anyone on here?

[JimmyTB]

Wasn't me
My laptop decided to crash as I was about to put in my bid, I am absolutly gutted. Such a cheap price to

[Benjic2]

The exhaust is actually mine i listed on ebay. It will be relisted due to a time waster demanding free delievery despite the fact I said collection only, or would send for a fee. The guy won it for 160 odd quid which is an absolute steal considering they are £350+ new, and was too tight to shell out an extra £10-15 for delivery!
It is taking up space in the garage so needs to go and is in perfect condition, even the backbox is still shiney! It fits every mito as the exhaust layout is the same, and sounds sweet

Don't discount the Wizard exhaust, nothing comes anywhere near it in terms of production quality - there are some nice pics of it here:

Autolusso - Alfa Romeo Specialist | Mito Hybrid Turbo

This was designed for maximum performance with a nice exhaust note, but without being too intrusive. With the modification to the catalytic converter the exhaust system is capable of flowing over 250bhp before it starts becoming restrictive. We can supply it without the modification to the cat if you are just after a bit extra performance and the same nice sound, it helps keep the job simple and keep the price down. It comes in 3 pieces, front section with flexi, middle section and the rear silencer.

Would Alfa fit this for you?

[Benjic2]

Alfa fitted mine

[danny.boy.]

Will get in touch with Alfa!

I shouldn't laugh but no I have the full Regrazzo system not just the backbox... and no don't have the old system for a replace.. think i might need to be nice to the old MOT engineer

[mcreed]

I new I should of bid!! Oh well...

I always go the custom stainless route, and always been happy. Last one I had done was the 166 V6 and it cost about £335 installed.
