Scorpion Fiat 500 Abarth exhaust system

Scorpion Exhausts, the Derbyshire-based exhaust manufacturer has launched a superb looking exhaust system for the diminutive Fiat 500 Abarth that offers genuine performance gains and a sublime soundtrack.

The new system, which has been designed and hand-fabricated here in the UK, utilises T304 63mm Aerospace grade stainless steel tubing and precision CNC mandrel bends to optimise gas-flow and improve throttle response across the rev range.

The open-neck downpipe houses a free-flowing 200 cell sports catalyst, providing the perfect balance between full race/road legality and ultimate performance. Sitting so close to the engine, the catalyst also warms up very quickly, ensuring that the car’s emissions stay very close to factory parameters, despite a notable power increase. The exhaust note has been carefully honed to offer a truly sporting tone, without being obtrusive in the cabin.

The centre section has an OEM style flexi-joint to allow for engine movement and the rear back box uses offers a pair of subtly finished 100mm Daytona trims to accentuate the Abarth’s shapely rear.

The entire system is priced at £995 including VAT. This includes the 200 cell sports catalyst. A half system is also available, from the downpipe back, for just £549 inc VAT. Makes you wonder whether Abarth put that scorpion badge on there for a reason, doesn't it?

The system will initially be available exclusively from Forge Motorsport. Visit forgemotorsport.co.uk or scorpion-exhausts.com for more details.
