hi all, I hope to be in the right section. i own a coupe with a Ragazzon exhaust with two tailpipes, I know that Ragazzon is a well-known brand but I have never seen other coupes with this model of exaust, I would like to know, is it a good exhaust for a turbo 20v?

Not unusual in Germany I think, not many in the UK though. Looks OK. Bottom of the rear bumper (the "valence" part where the cut-out is for the normal tail-pipe) looks to have been cut about a bit (more than normal).

Well, it looks like a well made exhaust, but I think it’s a matter of taste whether you like the look of twin rear pipes or not. I read on here some years ago that twin pipes on a Coop looks like a wee man peering out with binoculars. Personally I favour the single pipe.

yes DaveG,the bumper was badly cut, but we had it repaired, 1st photo.

I would like to be able to slightly increase the sound in this exaust, I wonder what is the small pot before the big final pot?

Ragazzon was the first after market exhaust I seem to remember for coupe's in the UK and remember hearing what the exhaust sounded like at a track day at Donington where it just sounds like a fighter jet, it's not noisy, just very whoosy on the noise that it makes.

I forgot, I have a 200 cell Magnaflow catalyst, the noise has already improved a lot.

in april, i will also install a custom sip, cool
the noise should make it even more. i just have to find someone who would weld the parts together, i didn't think it was that hard to weld aluminum.

Aye, aluminium is not the easiest to weld, it contracts and it’s difficult to leave a neat job. Those who can are artists in their own right. I was a welder in the oil industry years ago coded in several disciplines, I left tig to those who seemed to have a flair for it.

I think it is easier to find someone who does brazing rather than welding

Hi, I had the Ragazzon exhaust backbox with upswept twin DTM pipes for a while. Unfortunately it started to rust/corrode quite quickly I've no idea if it was a one-off issue. I ended up taking it back to the place I bought it from.

It's also worth saying it didn't really line up with the cut-out on the rear apron

I bought the coupe in 2016 and it already had the Ragazzon, so far I have not had any signs of rust. But it must be said that my car is only insured for the summer and therefore does not receive a lot of rain.

Very excited to share the newly installed Ragazzon exhaust bought from Gazzella Racing UK. It is very easy to install andnl fit perfectly.

I fitted a Ragazzon to the VIS 2 or 3 years ago. Ditched the straight through silencer. Sounds great and not too load.

I went from the supersprint to the Ragazon and quite like it.

Well-made and nice sound without being boomy or loud. Good exhaust.
