Let me assimilate this; the owner of SportsMASERATI is going to pitch up on a cheap Italian Alfa spunker. Wtf is he thinking, if indeed he is capable of rational thought.

Well, he did turn up to the Maserati meet in the North in an Audi ............

Nah, he welcomes abuse; the more the better and he will thank you for it. The w4nker. ;)

Spider as per the Alfa spelling is surely more accurate than Spyder the Maserati spelling as from what I know there is no Y in the Italian alphabet - off to hide from the abuse likely to come from Benny ;)

Todays job will be to remove the and replace the aux belt tensioner, its sticking and squeals on startup and fit this Ragazzon mid section. I fitted the rear Ragazzon straight through but it didn't make any difference, lets see what this does.

Hahaha! I have my Phase 2 3.0 GTV decatted, straight through middle and a single box rear. It's very loud and bassy, not too loud though ;)

It was in the garage, I'll pull it off the ramp and see how bad it is outside. I could put the stock rear back on see how that sounds.

Basically, the mid silencer holds all noise back.

A f*cking silencer? What is wrong with you?! Grow a pair and get on with it!

I **** you not, it's not pleasant!

It sounds bassy and like a trombone player is in your boot!

Loud and no tune to it, just shouty, a bit like you Benny :(

Feel free to pop down and have a loan for the day.

Video to follow.

Nail n the head there Matt...'its not pleasant'..............Never understood why you would want to be louder than anyone else....I like a great sounding car but you have to be able to drive it without it making your ears bleed...Loud does not mean a great sound...... Remember driving a members 4200 with a Larini and the drone at 70 was terrible....it got right on my tit.......When I drove Blondies Stradale that was perfect and couldn't see why you would want louder.....
