Hello..
my first post
I have a bravo hgt in which run like a dream, i decided to get a new exhaust system, sportex, full system up to the CAT...
since fitted the perfomance has lowered.. at 5-5.5k revs its like i'm slightly deperessing the accelerator, and in 5th gear it will not get passed 5.5k, although it did with the standard exhaust, .. it would carry on into the red with no problem at all.
Does anyone know what this could be?
The exhaust is a straight through silencer, thicker pipe and after complaining to the supplier they do not honestly know what the problem is , they sell 3-4 of these to bravo owners a month aparently.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"We supply this exhaust a 3 or 4 times a month for the past couple of years and have had only good feedback from ebay buyers and retail customers in our shop. I contacted the owner of Fast Fiat the UK's leading mailorder Fiat specialist who also supply Sportex they too have only good response to this system. We don't understand the problem you report. The system has straight through silencers and is less restrictive than the standard. The only thing I can think of is that the cat has been damaged when fitting the exhaust or somthing on the air intake side is causing a restriction? "
