Hi all, getting a full Supersprint exhaust (decat) fitted in the next couple of weeks, L&M did'nt have one on a coupe so I couldn't listen to it, does anyone have one fitted, and if so know how loud / quiet they are ? dont wana have bleeding ears !!

Quiet as a church mouse until you drop the right foot and then it's really quite nice

cheers flea

I will second that, mine sounds pretty much standard until you boot it then it sounds awesome!

Third that - I'm very happy with mine!

I agree - fine for motorway, not at all boomy. A bit more fruity on idle, and much nicer when you open it up

Sounds near original at idle and then once you race pure italian supercar all the way. check this video Fiat Coupe Supersprint

Just bare in mind, that it will corrode.

Mine is a CSC exhaust, very similar to the supersprint, with the same materials used to manufacture the system. Which I believe is stainless internals, and mild externals, (painted with HT matt black paint). Sounds lovely. Mellow and quiet on idle, and deep on full throttle.

However, it's been on the Coupe for 3/4 years and really needs replacing now, as the corrosion has set in on it.

yeah iv heard that, i'll paint it up too, my cars garaged too which should help a bit, 3-4 years isn't very long considering what they cost , will the tailpipe corrode and fall off too, like the standard systems do ?

Dude I have been using mine for over 2 years now with no signs of corrosion. The tail pipe is chrome and shines as new.

excellent, thanks guys, anyone got any pics of the exhaust fitted ? in particular the tailpipe ? thanks Rich

anyone got any pics....?

Well, if my CSC system is anything to go by, it's the actual hangers that corrode the most, which *could* cause the exhaust to drop. The tailpipe seems to be fine though.

Mine rusted where the pipe goes in to the back box sounded nice while it lasted (not long !) so would never waste my money again on an exhaust that rusts

Guys there is a lot on this super sprint rust in the forum. Do you think it’s more to do with the beautiful rainy UK weather or the actual mild steel by Super Sprint? Do other items made of mild steel rust too?

yeah its the salt on are road.
i had a hks exhaust on my skyline and it was £700 so not cheap and its stainless plated but that brake away and rotted the exhaust so stainless all the way.
they sound diffrent to belive it or not i find mild more boomy softer noise and stainless more rasp and metallic.

guess it depends on so many variables then, my coupe has the original factory exhaust on, complete with tailpipe, and thats not stainless ! and its only just given up the ghost ( collapsed baffles ) after nearly 10 years, so i think i'll go with the supersprint

Know what you mean. A friend of mine has a peco stainless system on his 20vt - he couldn't believe the difference when he came for a ride in mine. His stainless system is very raspy in comparison - sounds good, just very different.

its down to how you use the car.

I bought my SuperSprint secondhand the same week I bought the car. That was five years ago. I had to replace the centre section after the seam weld split (something to do with the HUGE rock I hit)

However, the decat and the back box are now well over 120,000 miles old

And when you give it LOTS of boost, they sound brilliant

fair play thats good nigel considering.
i thought you had a powerfiat exhaust

Nope - SuperSprint, nice and quiet when required, and capable of supporting 400bhp when required

However, I will concede that it can't support 400bhp at the same time as being quiet

lol fair enough.
its just i have a powerfiat exhaust and i wanted to know what power it would take.
sorry for the hijack

supersprint is fantastic for the coupé. I will buy soon.

I've had mine on for a month now and i'm really happy with it.
