FIAT 124 SPIDER/ABARTH V4 AIR INDUCTION KIT

Absolute best upgrade you can get to enhance the "smiles per gallon" of the car. Smooths out the power band by speeding up the low rpm spool rate and minimizing the torque dip around 5000. Making it more relaxing to drive normally, and more predictable when flooring it. But for me the most important aspect to me is the enhancement to the noise. I personally hate cartoonishly loud exhausts and unnecessary car noises like burbling and popping and banging which seems to be replacing the "fart can" mufflers of the previous decades and was super worried that the turbo noises would piss me off like a droning exhaust, but I was worried for nothing. The intake raises the volume of the turbo noises to approximately the volume of the stock non-RM exhaust (maybe a little less), meaning you can actually hear the spooling whine and blow off that was functionally imperceptible before, making the car feel extra special when you're completely beating on it with the stereo off. But with the stereo on, short shifting around town, or cruising at highway speeds you can't easily tell it's modified which is absolutely perfect to me. There is a tiny bit of audible burbling sometimes, but a "classy" amount that isn't at all obnoxious or unpleasant.

Installing this intake is one of the easiest mods you can do to your car, and I would consider it in between a basic oil change and swapping in a new battery in difficulty. It's just as easy to take it all off and revert to stock as long as you don't throw out the old intake. Quite literally all upside with no downside, can't recommend enough.

I've only owned my abarth for about a month now and having never done more than replacing an air filter it did take me about an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish. I followed the YouTube Tutorial on the store page which was very helpful. The throttle response feels slightly better but the real win is the turbo sound. I can hear the turbo whoosh while accelerating that I just couldn't hear before and the pops are a bit more consistent, also it looks way cooler than it did with the stock intake. Can recommend. Obligatory before and after photos attached.

It’s amazing. The install is quite easy to do even for me who has zero mechanical experience. The car feels more lively than before and at around 4500rpm it kinda feels like a little extra bossy kicks in that feels almost like a mini vtec. And it make really fun wooshhh sounds as well. So if you think about it, definitely buy it it’s absolutely worth the money :)

Good quality, I haven't mount still but I think good result
