Anybody familiar with OLD Abarth exhaust systems? Turned ou

[Guest Anonymous]

was a center section to go with the rear section I spotted @ Antelope, so I wound up with the whole system (head pipe back) when I got there to pick up the bulky stuff this morning.

The rear muffler is a regular oval can 14" long x 6.5" across, the center muffler is a 33" long tubular unit with 4 longitudinal rows of plug welds through the outer shell every 4 inches or so retaining the inner baffles. The whole thing is very solid - no holes, no split seams or broken welds - will be interesting to see what it sounds like.

Seriously doubt it's Ansa stuff - don't think Ansa ever made systems out of material as heavy as this one's made from - the muffler is at least 22 gauge sheet, the pipes are about double the thickness of standard tubing, and about 70% of the system still has paint on it, even after god knows how many years of laying in the dirt.

Maybe a picture??? I had an Abarth on my '69. It was crappy because I didn't have the silly little mounting block that goes on the rear exhaust mount.

Stebro, Supersprint...any other possibilities???

and even then only has one small rust hole--I'm gonna repair it and put it back on the car. Very durable--too bad Kensington Products (the exclusive importer for Abarth exhausts in the US) went belly up years ago.

melted center bearing. too bad- sounded great. maybe 02 ones are different.

years and got sick of the resonances that caused buzzy vibrations, so I went back to stock and smoothness.
