Will a cat back system fit inside the coupe with the passenger seat down and the ski hatch open?

I'm planning on picking it up in the coupe from F1ANG and hoping it will fit. Lengthwise it should fit but depends on the bends going through the hatch i guess.

Think back box still comes as a separate piece from centre pipe so you can split them.

Yes, it will fit. I just about managed to get my n/a cat back system inside the car, and they are the same shape.

Take plenty of old rugs with you to save the back seat, the front passengers seat and the passengers door card from scratches.

I had to tip the passengers front seat forward, and move it as far forward as poss in the runners.

The car sounds better with twin exhausts too coat

In fact, it's the only reason Fiat fitted the hatch.

Skis, my ar#e.

Has anyone on here had skis in their Coupe!?

Thats great hopefully i'll be at advantage with not having any back seats and aftermarket recliners in the front which will now lay flat almost.

It's reminded me - I didn't tip the pass seat forward, I reclined it right back, after first sliding it far forward.

The headrests don't come out to make it totally flat, iirc.

I had skis in my previous Coupe! But also, I left my son and a French exchange student in the back of the Coupe while I popped into the office, on my return 5 minutes later, the french lad had disappeared. "Where's he gone?" I asked my son, "He ran away" my son replied. "Oh no, why did you let him do that?" "He wanted to go home." Said my son. We sat there for a few minutes and eventually I heard a giggle coming from the back of the car. The French lad had crawled through the hatch into the boot!

Turns out you can get four full-sized people in the back of a coupe, but they have to be very good friends... and that's without using the boot!

Your welcome mate, it was great to catch up as always.

Iye, who says the coupe isn't practical? a full 3" exhaust, a 3" down pipe, 2 full sets of wheels, rocker covers etc... I bet she felt slow on the way home! Hope you hid it all well from Mrs Rosso laugh

I'll look forwards to seeing some pics, when it's all together thumb
