Boost Your Abarth 500/500C Performance with Akrapovic

The Akrapovic Abarth 500/500C Slip-On Line M-FI/SS/1H exhaust system blends impressive performance gains with a refined yet sporty sound. Designed specifically for the 1.4 16V T Jet engine, it replaces the stock setup to deliver more torque, a crisper throttle response, and a smoother power curve throughout the rev range. Constructed from robust stainless steel, this Slip-On exhaust not only improves the car’s driving dynamics but also offers a tasteful appearance upgrade—especially when finished with the optional titanium or carbon-fibre tailpipes.

Noticeable Power and Torque Increases

By reducing backpressure and optimizing exhaust flow, this Slip-On system can yield up to +3.3 hp at 4,100 rpm and +5.3 Nm of torque at 3,860 rpm (when equipped with the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit and open valves). Such gains are particularly helpful during spirited driving and overtaking maneuvers. In addition to these performance benefits, the system also cuts around 2.9 kg (6.4 lb) from the stock exhaust, giving you a more balanced and agile feel on twisty roads.

Deeper, Sportier Sound of Akrapovic Abarth 500/500C Slip-On Line M-FI/SS/1H

A hallmark of any Akrapovič exhaust is the distinct tone it imparts on the engine, and this Slip-On Line for the Abarth 500/500C is no exception. With the optional Akrapovič Sound Kit (product code P-HF876) activated, the exhaust valve can fully open, unleashing a significantly deeper and more pronounced exhaust note—all while avoiding an unpleasant drone in the cabin. For everyday commutes or longer highway drives, simply close the valve to revert to a subtler but still sporty rumble.

Performance Note: If you install the system without the Sound Kit, there is a point-welded block in the link pipe that prevents bypassing the muffler. Removing this block or using the Sound Kit to open the valve effectively invalidates the EC type approval.

Tailpipe Options: Titanium or Carbon-Fibre

To complete the aesthetic transformation, you can select one of two mandatory tailpipe sets:

• Tail pipe set (Titanium) – product code TP-T/S/2
• Tail pipe set (Carbon) – product code TP-CS/1

Both options measure 115 mm in diameter, lending a clean and upscale finish to your Abarth’s rear profile. Whether you choose the subtle shimmer of titanium or the motorsport-inspired texture of carbon fibre, these tailpipes add a premium accent that underscores the car’s performance-oriented nature.

Straightforward Installation and Usage Disclaimers

Installation of the Slip-On Line M-FI/SS/1H is relatively simple, designed as a bolt-on replacement for the stock exhaust. However, please note:

• No US Compatibility: This exhaust does not fit US-spec Abarth models.
• Emissions: The product does not meet emission compliance requirements for street or highway use. Always verify local regulations before installing performance exhaust modifications.
• Sound Kit Impact: Using the Akrapovič Sound Kit with an open valve bypasses the muffler, offering maximum aural excitement but invalidates EC type approval.
