Are there exhaust flaps blocking the two outermost tips until a certain rpm or something?

Lots of dual tips are just for show, idk about the Giulia but yeah, style over substance still reigns.

there is a mode that makes the engine louder, so its possible that it could be the exhaust.

Bahaha Yes that is what I said. She has italian flair for an italian car. It made total sense! Maybe this years 86 Expo we can collab JDM and Italian with southern interviews

Awesome video's of an awesome car. (I have owned two Alfa in the past, a green Giulietta and a Red (!) Giulia).
Thank you for sharing. Did I hear her say that she was planning on getting all seasons? NO! Please, tell her that she should get dedicated set of winters and summers. It is not more expensive (twice the amount of tires will last twice as long) It makes no sense to compromise. All season tires perform meh in the summer and meh in the winter especially on a car like this.

So, so, so many people do not understand this concept!

Haha Of course if winters were available we would have gotten a set. Just like floormats being the 1st person to ever own this car we didn't have a lot of options. We also would have not like to drive around on RCOMPS with 60 treadwear that come stock on this car so we had to pick with the options we had. All of that being said this car will never see snow again if we can help it lol.
