Styling 500 Exhaust?

[Bigpowerjam]

Hey,

I'm looking to upgrade the exhaust on my 500 Pop, not sure whether to change the tip with the official Fiat one for £90 for the cosmetic change or change the whole thing?

Nothing that will break the bank but something that looks decent!

Thanks

I was quoted about £300 for a catback stainless steel exhaust.

Few threads on here of nice replacement back boxs for around £200. Personally I wouldn't pay £90 to mimick the non Pop model. Can you not get a simple push on sleeve for around £20 ? Realise that it will be round as opposed to oval but only Fiat heads would spot the difference.
If you go for a cat back stainless steel jobbie it will give little if no performance gain on a 1.2. Plus the insurance guys will slap you will an extra premium unless you get a letter from the custom exhaust supplier that there is no gain in bhp.

Depends on who your insured with I use Sky Insurance and have never paid more when I've added a S/S exhaust, but then they are modifed car specialists.

I put a Magneti Marelli rear box on my 1.2 and I think it actually made it slower. Sounded awful too. Sort of agricultural tractor type sound and not at all sporty. Changed it back to stock as quick as I could.

That's strange, I have the opposite opinion and experience with MM back box on 1.2!

I'm going to have a look around thanks for the advice! Got my new wheels coming next week!

I'm in a similar situation. My 1.4 Sport rear box will need replaced soon - it's corroded but not blowing... yet! I fitted a K&N panel filter and wonder if there's an upgrade back box that will yield a small gain either in looks, sound or performance, that won't cost hundreds.

Any recommendations gratefully received!
