Soon to be our new everyday Eco-Worrier!
Also going to fit the AutoDelta DTM exhaust and rear aprons. http://www.autodeltashop.com/product_info.php?cPat...
Anyone else fitted these and is the Dtm exhaust the sound to go for? What is your opinion?

So you've bought one? Well done!
Don't know that exhaust but I do know that Autodelta have a good name and a friend gave me good reports after fitting a lot of thier products on a 2.5V6 156.

Yes, put the deposit down last night. Time to upgrade the every day bus (calibra).
When I spoke to Autodelta about the exhaust they said Ragazzon make them for them. nuts

Better to ask on SportsAlfa.

Just in case it comes as a surprise, you do realise that it will be in VED band M next year?

Well, after a 10hrs drive from Glasgow to StIves, Daddy's Noble Steed is home.
All in all, I had a 20hr day and after 10hrs drive I still felt great nuts
The car is made for long trips and only used 1 and half tanks of fuel.
However, I NEED MORE SOUND!!! RAGAZZON here I come!

Very nice! I have the Ragazzon straight through rear section and silenced centre section on mine, it sounds lovely without being too loud or boomy, I would definitely recomend that combination.

Doh, I must read threads more closely before posting, I had not realised that you had already fitted a new exhaust. Does it have any silencers at all?

I'm sure it would be fun but putting that much power/torque through the front wheels might make life interesting in the lower gears!
