i tried to get my GF to buy an Abarth, sounds amazing. She ended up getting the Fiesta ST which sounds amazing inside the cabin because of the symposer, but not as good outside. Has a 1.6lt turbo as well.

Blitz nur spec might as well be straight pipes.
My single turbo supra with 3" downpipe no cats and Tanabe hyper medallion touring catback is extremely quiet.

Abarth has a 1.4t, not 1.6. And go buy an Abarth. I want to.

I played around with a Abarth yesterday, on my drive home. I had to stop the owner and tell him his car sounds sexy. He looked at me kind of funny when he smiled, then said thank you.
Those cars sound amazing

I remembered hearing an Abarth couple weeks ago and immediately said to myself, "HOLY SHIT that's loud." I have a decent tolerance to loud exhausts but the one I heard sounded like it literally was straight piped with no cats or any restrictions! My windows were up and I still heard the car. And I thought my car was loud. ^-^

That's true! My wife said that it was so loud that riding in that car killed brain cells haha. It had a great, smooth sound though, but way too loud. I got tons of complements on the way it sounded every time I took it to the track. 22psi on a T04E-60 trim, Stage 5 Turbine wheel (held 22psi to redline), HKS Intake, hard pipes, and HKS SSQV, with that exhaust setup. It sounded incredible!

Sorry for the off-topic post... back to you, folks.
