I have no doubt and was teasing for the sake of it :)

well if you did consume them I bet they would be the most expensive feed you have ever had in your entire life :lol: I am just being conservative with my $ figure but they could go as high as $5,000 for the lot......... :lol: again

I could be picking up a very easy $20k to $30k this year off those bird buying boys :lol: but some-one has to take their money.....and it might as well be me! :lol:

now this is a good rear end shot on the Abarth with the new twin 5" outlets against the SE running the 3" single outlet ...plus I've picked up a bit more power in the deal too!

One has the SE rear end look. The other reminds me of a storm trooper helmet

Agree with StanTheMan, is this "The Look" you're going for with the FIAT?

May "The Farce" be with you!

That rear view really shows how much interior space is lost due to the inward slope of the sides - you'd never fit two Big Boofy Blokes in it side by side.

I wasn't really chasing any look in particular. I just told them remove the factory muffler system without damage - I never know how long or what will come next - and fit a duel system.
he just said it will require new tips. when I picked it up he mentioned the 4" outlet it had on the originally mufflers wasn't in stock so he tried the 5" and it fitted perfectly
so he told me the damage $350 which is nothing really plus the workmanship on the fit is top quality work so it didn't matter much so I will see what happens.
I think it's a bit loud now :roll: it's louder than the SE with the remote muffler in the open position. I might have little choice but to go back next week and get a muffler fitted :lol:

I actually thought I might be stuck with this fiat for years :lol: but lately I've noticed a few have been selling and fairly quick. that's always good to know :wink: unlike the lotuses as there are some of the same units still for sale when I bought mine several months back...rip! :lol:
