Easy to fit, you\'ll have problems with the original retainer if it\'s rusted or corroded. An extra pair of hands will be helpful.
Excellent quality, produces a deep bass sound at idle, and preserves the unique sound of my 156 2.5 V6. At high rpms, it complements the engine sound with a muscular, racy tone!!
Maybe the best upgrade I have done to my 156. Now, looking forward to do the same to my Giulietta QV.
Super quality paired with super sound, low, potent, avesome!
One of the best motor parts I bought ever! Delivered within two days to Sweden...
Amaizing sound on my AR156 v6 \'99. With middle Ragazzon silincer it sounds like this:

Good points. Very nicely made. Very easy to fit. Looks great.
Bad points. Fouls the rear anti roll bar and makes a very annoying rattle - easily fixed with some exhaust wrap (or similar). Very quiet. Only a VERY subtle increase in exhaust note. Would probably suit most people but i was hoping it would be a bit louder/more impressive. Only slightly louder than standard exhaust.
What can I say... very very nice!
The good points:
Very easy to fit... comes with adapter for fitting to standard centre pipe and new clamp (better than the standard one)
Looks great & sounds awesome!
The oval pipe fits the 156 exhaust cutout perfectly... just like it was made for it ;)
The only think I can say against this is that the welds were quite black when the box arrived but they shined right up with a little metal polish.
