Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce- Worthwhile Mods to Consider?
Discussion
Hi All,
I have recently bought a lovely Giulia Veloce, only a week in but from the initial drives could not be more impressed with the car.
Apart from being if not the most beautiful, certainly one of the most beautiful 4 door cars ever built it has a wondaful chassis, quick and tactile steering, feels light and alive at all times and is just so much fun to drive!
It also feels very quick and the 280 bhp plus (400Nm torque key here) feels perfect for a daily driver, the performance really is impressive for a 2.0.
One of the only areas I would consider addressing is the sound. I often drive it in dynamic which is ok, (and huge aluminium paddles are great..) but still some improvement in exhaust note would be welcome.
Does anyone has experience with the back box delete?
This seems like a good option, and the clips are promising, I have have heard good things about other products from them:

Has anyone used an alternative e.g. perhaps Remus and have any feedback to share? The rpm unit does not require a remap.
The other thing I am considering is possibly induction kit, anyone done that?
Remap is the other option, but for now I am not seriously considering that as don't really need it (Celtic tuning are good apparently?), I know 320 bhp + 40Nm extra are achievable.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help...

Not a Giulia (Id like to upgrade to a Veloce or QV eventually) but I have a Giulietta at the moment.
When I was in the VAG ownership world, Celtic didnt have a great reputation, but I took my Giulietta (1.4 Multiair 150ps) to Celtic in Derby, it was put on their rolling road, made 160 standard and made 205 after, if you minus the extra 10 intially to put it down to 150, you arrive at 195 which is a realistic figure. The experience on the day was good, staff were nice etc.
A for Alfa are a local specialist to me, they have a very nice sounding Veloce!

Thanks, I have heard good things about Celtic in relation to Alfa tuning especially, so good to have some more positive feedback.
I'm not sure about remap yet although it makes sense to at least inquire with my local Celtic representative to at least check on pricing etc, not ruling it out but at the moment probably more interested in doing something with the exhaust.
I think the back box delete would be more than enough, not really looking for a full on sports exhaust as that would perhaps be too much..

Thank you, I had a look at the video on their website that is exactly what I am looking for centre res/back box delete keeping original exhaust system, as I think this is more than enough sound wise.
Sounds very good and I feel is the right level of noise. I will give that company a call to see if they can fit it too.
I was also thinking of adding an induction kit, this is what I had in mind:

Did you use this or something similar?
This seems to come up most when looking at suitable options, but I'm sure there are alternatives..
