Abarth 595 - First impressions

[@Samantha-mk4bm]

Thinking of adding one of these to the house with the Corsa e VXR. I love the look of them and the sound of the stock exhaust system from a 1.4 turbo is impressive! Sounds much louder than the Corsa e VXR which boosts a 1.6 turbo 205bhp engine. I had to add an induction kit and resonator delete pipe to the centre of the exhaust for it to sound louder.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, it is always appreciated. The Abarth 595 is a great little car. The one in the video has the Moto Marelli Bombardoni exhaust , straight through, no resonators, and it sounds glorious. If you go to look at any check the radio is tuning OK as the aerial can suffer from water ingress and the circuit board in the base gets fried. It is often mistakenly diagnosed as a faulty headunit.

Thinking about getting one of these as a project car.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really liked it, its not often driving a car puts a huge grin on my face. From what I can gather they respond well to tuning and there is a big community out there.

@@huwjones5879 Definitely. Id probably find a slightly earlier one to work on. Good video though to watch.
