+Manço Nice! Thanks for taking the time for that to help out.
Manço not all heroes wear capes 🍻
wideabarth What suspension and offset does the grey abarth have? Looks like a perfect drop.
haha
Dude, thank you! This helped x
take note rest this is how u make an exhaust video that doesnt suck
Thank you horchata!
wideabarth I agree. Good sound quality and good comparisons.
Finally someone compares them all next to each other. Thank you 🙆
One of the best exhaust comparisons I've ever seen.
I can say one thing after this, I'm going catless. The 3inch downpipes sound like rice, definitely going to go with a smaller pipe like RRM. It seems to keep the Abarth sound, and add some extra turbo whistle, and take some of the muffled sound out at high revs.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. I have the RRM now and I really love it, but the catless pipe is quite the beast.
Catless wins for the high 5500+ revs. However, stock (IMO) sounds better all together. I guess FIAT engineered that exhaust perfectly.
iAmDevil they started out making exhausts actually so they have the most experience
iAmDevil I got the resonated catless downpipe on order, coming next week. If it doesn't cut the rasp over a regular catless downpipe I will be back to stock. It sounds PERFECT from the factory. The sound my Cabrio makes with the top back is GLORIOUS 😎
@@HondaTurboToys how did yours end up sounding
I think the high flow cat sounds the best all around idk I just love the raspiness and it seems like it actually makes the turbo just a little louder it really screams rally car I need to pick one of these up
This is awesome. Thank you for keeping us from some boring talking intro and just jumping right into it.
Glad you enjoyed!
Loving the Road Race Motorsports Hi-flow Cat downpipe for all tests. Sounds great. The decat sounds great but makes me feel the bark is more than the bite.
Aye figure eight 🙋
I really like the stock one. But the cat-less is louder so...TANTA ROBA.
Appare Pescion selvatico! Grande Niccolò!
minghia zioo!
I guess I'm the only one that likes the sound of the Road Race pipe, just seems to have a deeper sound to me. My son bought a 2015 Abarth a couple days ago with only 30 miles on it. I may have grown up in the muscle car era, but that Abarth is just plain FUN! It is a blast to drive, I'm seriously thinking about buying one for myself, lol.
Yes, the're really fun!
and sound not bad at all for a 1.4 T
! ;)
That's fantastic! Hope your son loves his Abarth. I own the red one in the video and I have since put the road race pipe on it. I love it because it accentuates the existing abarth sound without changing it.
ANGRY MEATBALLS!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to do this comparison video! Great work!
razerremix I agree with you. My friend that runs this youtube channel is a reallly techy person and did a really good job with all the fancy editing stuff. I just directed and recorded the video haha.
this video is awesome but really doesn't let you hear just how loud the catless DP really is. I just installed mine and holy shit...its sooo loud...the backfire is also louder...I live in queens, NY so it's fun watching people ducking and getting scared...sounds like gunshots...I love it
jose torres My car backfired once in front of four cops, they couldn't figure out where it came from lol
lol
Installing mine next week , I'm excited
@@CALMINGSOOTHINGRELAXINGWATER Have fun
Cold morning startup? That's the one that'll get you hate from the neighbors at 5:30am...
Alvin Brinson I'm grateful my neighbors like me and my car haha
Its 4 am for me haha gotta love that abarth life
Or even better, they’ll look at the small red car and think “no that’s not it, where is the loud car?”
Awesome Video! Listening to these sounds warms the cockles of my heart. While I'm a big fan of the Catless DP sound with its throaty and metallic calls, the Hi-Flow Cat DP definitely is a nice medium between the stock and Catless. Just enough to keep the muted and clean sound of factory, but also to hear the rumble of the Revs; something for me to look forward to when I start modding my little Piccolo Rosso!
Probably the best exhaust video ever made
Wow I legitimately thought these were renders or some game for about a minute. Fantastic job!
Thanks! all of our cars have changed a lot since this video (more mods haha) but it was a fun one to put together.
Anyone remember the background music in Gran turismo 4 cos I do....... Memories
I spent to much time on that game so long ago
Exactly anyone who remember the race where you won the rally car from Toyota?
Yes!! It's been like 12 years! Damn when it hit me what that music was...
DAT CATLESS!!! I need it!!! A tunnel run must be an eargasm
Video that I was looking for. Thumb up :)
Crazy part is they all sound amazing.
That cat less down pipe sounds so good at high revs 5k-6k RPM. However, I'm still appreciating the stock exhaust for the lower RPMs
Love the sound!
best video in youtube, period.
Great video, must admit the stock hands down. That's the great thing about this car you don't really need to do anything. All I have in my 2014 Abarth is the Go-Pedal that's all this car needs.
Excellent video!!
Ernest Hemingway thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!
great video, Cat free for me! they All Sound great.
nice comparison thanks for it!
God bless you for this video
That catless at 6k RPM is just beautiful 😢
best comparisson on youtube! big thanks
Ke Ya I’m glad you enjoyed!
@@wideabarth i did... my catless downpipe just arrived today and with your test i can now imagine what is going to happen. bmw m340i straight six with twinscroll turbo😁🤙... thanks aggain for the great video
Ke Ya nice choice! The catless sound is so nice!
Une vrai criss de mélodie 🎶 😍😍😍😍😍
Mini Lamborghini!!! - Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks for the comparison!!! Going catless on my 500T
pawel ZAJAC take a video! I'm interested to see how a catless downpipe would sound with the 500T muffler.
For sure! I'll need a couple weeks yet. Although it won't be with muffler. Right now I am running stock down pipe, stock midpipe and muffler delete (pretty much a muffler shop bent a straight pipe after the mid) I'm concerned it maybe too loud so I might throw a resonator in there somewhere. But if I do a resonator I'll be sure to make two videos with before and after. If you go through my videos I have one of the muffler delete.
Fantastic comparo
camaroman101 Thanks!
Hey this is the Gran Turismo 4 official soundtrack xD
It's the best!
Yeah it is just like these amazing sound notes! My '08 G.Punto Sport T-Jet sounds more like the first one.. was made in Italy and 1H,30mins drive from me ..
wideabarth I was thinking the same thing😂
Very nice vid!
God i love the catless lets see if switzerland alouds it. Best comparison ever! Congrats
leggenda28 Thanks!
I went ATP high flow. Worth it to me. It's still super loud but not crazy obnoxious.
good video man helped alot! catless for the win tho cant wait!
Quality review. Great to hear the differences. I have a standard A500...a peach of a car...and the stock exhaust tone is what clinched the deal to get one.
ThisIsBarcode Thanks! Yeah Fiat really nailed it with this car :)
Michael Harris why so much hate? Listen to the european abarths, they sound if not the same, similar. That's even before the fiat/chrysler partnership.
did you just say peach wtf
British term. Just like Yanks say…that sounds "rad".
I like the sound of the stock one best.
catless for the win! love that catless sound on the fiat. Sounds aggressive!
I'm gonna have to say I like the Catless the best. Usually not a fan of loud cars but that noise is too good.
Thanx for a great video; my blood is racing!!
On my 2015 abarth it has full stock exhaust only have intake right now but I feel like when it gets into higher rpm’s it gets quieter. And in lower rpm it’s louder.
Catless Hand Down 😍
Stock for me. I keep watching these videos thinking I want to change my pipes but I always end up thinking stock is the best all rounder. I can leave the house without too much upset and it still sounds good when I pull away. The only thing I will do is buy a rear section with straight pipe and no silencer. Great video!!
I just installed the atp hi flow, it sounds amazing. Ill post a video, definitely better then rrm in my opinion
But if you been on stock for a few months just enjoy it, till you decide if you want to change it
thank you! I hope you found it helpful :)
congrats on the new downpipe!
Greate video.
Thank you!
Hola que tal, haz tenido algun problema con el auto después de la reprogramación?
May I dare say that I like the original, more base sound best in most situations? Impressive achivement with such a small engine. I like the non cat sound if i were on a track.
They all sound great. WOW.
Wow pull back a go I had one as a child
Great video! What intake does the black Abarth have? Love the turbo sound!
Oliver Slacke Hi Oliver! The black abarth has madness's version of the eurocompulsion V3. It's actually a very quiet intake. The "PSSSSSS" you hear is most likely from his Forge full replacement Blow Off Valve
That catless is one mean sounding fiat
awesome!
Thanks!
Stock sounds best, maybe slightly losing at higher rpm. Performance is other side....
They growl like a beast. Superb. I'd rather listen to this all day than my woman.
What's the best perf
Question, Does the RRM Downpipe cat bolt to the stock exhaust components of the 1.4 engine, or is any replacing required to fit. Also, would the menthioned Downpipe cat fit a 1.4 Tjet (non abarth 120hp version) exhaust system. Would be great if anybody could answer the 2nd question
Klem Zale sell ur fiat just get an abarth hehe
Fićkonni❤
How bad is the smell on catless downpipe
A catless Rosso for me, please!!!
catless downpipe is an mpx, but all other catless downpipes should sound pretty similar!
Any idea on power gains vs just sound?
not a clue haha
do you guys know if a performance cat will be available for the jeep renegade 1.4. or if you know what is compatible from the 500 Abarth to the renegade
If its a 1.4 multiair turbo then a lot of stuff will be compatible. The only thing would be just how the engine is oriented.
turbo !! psssiiiuuu psssiiuuuu
The stock one sounds the best
is there a big difference between stock and hi-flow while driving and under load?
Kevin Slowiak I think so. Since filming this video I have upgraded to the high flow. It’s basically the stock tone amplified. It’s significantly louder but there isn’t a bad drone imo.
ok so between the high-flow and the catless, the catless will be louder but with bad drone. while the high-flow is louder than stock but the drone is better than catless?? @@wideabarth
Kevin Slowiak in a nutshell, yeah. The cat less is even louder than the high flow. But I’d say with the high flow there is still that nice stock tone without it being insanely raspy and untamed.
I wish my ecotec 1.4 turbo sounded as good as the Fiat/Dart 1.4 turbo...... must be different cam timing, exhaust valve metrics... all the setups I've heard for my ecotec get super raspy... but on these and the Darts they always have an excellent gurgle and SRT4 sound
Yeah man the sound was one of my main reasons for purchasing the car. After nearly 3 years of owning it, still in love with the sound every day.
I just want to know what blow off set up the middle abarth has
Iirc it was the forge atmospheric bov
Hey !!! GREAT JOB !
I have a question... I have a 500T... Should I keep the original exhaust or change it for an Abarth Exhaust ?
I've seen they are pretty similar, so i don't wanna waste money
Valentin Uribe Abarth exhaust look much cooler but they do sound similar I have an Abarth and got it as my first car .. It's a last I'm 16
With a single exit on the 500T your exhaust would be quite a bit louder if you changed out the downpipe for one with less restrictions. Also because you don't have the t-bend that the abarth has (to make it a dual exhaust) you can shoot fireballs too if you run a bit rich. A couple of my buddies have T's and another with an auto abarth did a single exit conversion.
Thanks man ! @2goons arefly
@abarthisti Thank you for your answer and your time ! I appreciate it !
You got it!
My Abarth is loud enough and sounds great, all of these cars sound great but which one is going to give me more HP/torque and not set off the CEL constantly.
Both a high flow cat and catless will likely set off your CEL. I switched to the high flow and that gave me one. However I have a flash tune now and that got rid of the CEL for the P0420 catalyst code.
catless for me
Did you have to do a ecu tune with catless I heard that it's need because of all the extra air going in the turbo
At the time he had the Madness V2 piggyback, not a flash tune. But it's not necessary. He and myself now both have the Euro+Drive Phase 2 Flash Tune from Eurocompulsion.
That's what I was going to do
Gran turismo flashbacks from the opening.
Deathstocker EW best soundtrack ever
Catless, no contest. I'd probably install a short Magnapack or resonator with it to keep the power of catless but make sure there's no drone.
This video made me smile hard af! Frfr #GoodStuff
Glad it makes you happy too!
@@wideabarth thanks for the response! Yeah the ending made me so happy that I subscribed! Oh and I found me one, idk how I feel about it being a vert though..
@@wideabarth so I may have bought an Abarth...👀
What is the brand of the cat less downpipe?
Julien Miron-sylvain I believe it was MPx or ATP
Quale è la
Migliore configurazione? Eliminare catalizzatore e mantenere scarico stock ? Grazie a chi mi risponderà
questa è la configurazione migliore secondo me. suona alla grande nella vita reale 👍
does the catless downpipe effect emissions?
Yes it does affect emissions.
Stock for me all day long
Surprised, the stock one sounds throatiest / best
Is thoses exhaust are decat or whatelse?
it's a mix of stock cat, high flow cat, and catless. It says so in the video.
Are all these car running stock mufflers?
MrSagerific95 all abarths in the US come with no mufflers from the factory
No way that what they did to that last dark gray abarth is street legal, please tell me it is tho, you say it affects emissions, will the car still be able to pass the car tests then if it's so much more polluting? Also what would it cost to make a stock abarth sound like the dark gray abarth? Thanks in advance!
Hi Minutemadex! Yes taking out the cat will make it illegal depending on your country and state. Taking out the catalytic converter in the downpipe will eliminate all cats because that's the only one in the entire exhaust system of the US Abarth. I'm interested as well if it will pass smog test as even without a cat, I think it's less polluting than most old american trucks or suvs. The catless downpipe that I got is by mpx which has the brackets for the stock heat shield and that will make me pass at least a visual inspection. Regarding cost, I paid around $200 for the decat pipe. Hope that helps :D
Nathaniel Po My state doesn't even test anymore.
Can anyone tell me if the Catless DP gives a CEL
Yes it does, but it depends on how sensitive your car is. For some, they get a CEL immediately after installing a catless downpipe. For me, the CEL only pops up every 200 miles. I think an O2 sensor spacer will get rid of my CEL.
cat less! oh la la.
by the way, nice graphics. made in after effect?
akrokdesign Thanks! Actually this was all in Final Cut Pro.
Abarthisti
I need to know the name from the Music!
It's "Events" from the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack
Is the catless pipe RRM?
josh mathes it's the moder performance one. I like it cause it has the mounts for the stock heat shield
Why does the black one look smaller than other 2?
civicminded73 it’s just the angle and the wide angle lens
stock sounds best
How much drone comes from
The hi flow and the careless
Catless
The high flow drone was very minimal. I daily drove with the high flow for about 4 years with no problem. I have a new catless setup but I haven’t installed it yet. I will report back with results.
Also. Check engine light
titanicxl3 yes you will get the P0420 code. I just had it tuned out. You can also use an O2 spacer.
hi-flow cat sounds the best imo
The rest of the exhaust is stock?
Yes they are all stock exhuast. The way to tell is the double pipe at the tips.
Daniel is correct; all stock except for the downpipes.
Daniel Castaneda is there not a silencer in the center pipe?
I have a short clip of my cat less down pipe on my page for those that want to see it
PIck your poison, they all sound good. Plus consider all the other mods the non stock Abarths have, you have to consider how much tuning goes into adding a downpipe along with all the other mods.
is that the turbo?
Yes. they're all 1.4 Turbo engines! ;)
Stock sounds the best
5:56 - 6:30 *P O R N*
High flow cat sounds the best across the board.
Yes!
