Can someone please explain how if you get a bigger tip, the sound the car produces will be deeper? In my opinion, because the engine has 65hp a big tip would be pointless, whereas If you got a smaller tip, the air would come out faster?

The tip doesnt make a difference, its down to the size of the pipe diameter from the cat to the backbox, the baffles that are used in the backbox and if there is a midbox or not. The tip wont affect the noise

Well the midbox would be standard, I reeeeaaalllllyyy want to avoid the boy racer noise, well the typical noise anyway, just a slight grumble would be nice.. Would a local dealer be able to offer advise? Or would I have to go to a modifying shop, to find professionals etc?

Dealer wont have a clue, you will need a custom exhaust fabricator. Because on fiats the exhaust is 1 piece back from the manifold its easier to just have a cat back exhaust than cut it after the mid box, wont be much more expensive

Hmm, would an induction kit give the sound I'm
after?

No because its the other end of the car, it wont change the exhaust tone, just give you more of induction noise

hmm, alright thanks for the information just gonna have a think about it

LOL it's a 1.2 8valve not a V8!

Well IMO a proper induction kit would give a nice throaty sound when you put your foot down, any modified exhaust sounds a bit chavvy really and ive even got one i would start with a decent kit like the GSR or make your own from silicone pipes before you splash out on an exhaust

Would a K&N induction be okay?

I have yet to see a good one, the filter itself isnt important - where the filter is mounted and how the air gets to the manifold is what matters. I dont know much about the smaller fiat engines as i have a t-jet but you should have more than enough room to put the filter in a good place.

Nah…I would avoid the K&N.

The application for the GP is poor, as it sucks in hot air and you will lose power, and be even slower.


However if you can get ahold of or make a custom one similar to the GSR then the K&N Filter element will be good.

Check eBay from time to time, as they do pop up.

Hmm might just leave it then, I don't think my dad would agree with making one, or buying a GSR one :/ dont wanna loose power
