It’s 100% custom, I went to the dealer, looked at the QV with my muffler guy, traced over it with a paper and pencil and bought parts as close to original as possible then had it welded on at the exact size and gapping as the QV

Quick question where did you buy the exhaust tips, which look that good at this angle?
 
Axle back muffler delete but I'm over it! waiting for Remus axle back to arrive any day.
Ordered the Tips through muffler shop that did the delete but they are easy to find online.
I think they are actually design for Commodores!!
 
I used these off the shelf. 2.5" in with twin 3" out, staggered, double wall slash cut AUS $ 85 each side. very happy with the look. View attachment 105498
Could you share a couple more photos of your exhaust tips from some different angles? Side and straight on/close up? I'd really appreciate it.

Trying to decide between quad 3 inch tips or 3.5. I worry 3.5 inch might be too large for the opening after seeing your photo.

Hi Jules
Heres a shot of when first installed ( as you can see clamped not welded)

and some others with inserts I made from 3mm aluminium. I didn't want to butcher off the clips for the original false tip panel so I fixed these with silicone so it can be returned to the original look if required. I know some owners don't like the quad pipes on a non QV but I actually think they look more honest than the fake outlets on the TI/Veloce
I like the 3" also as its not trying to be QV replica.
Cheers.
 
While I was at work today (I just started selling Alfas and Fiats this week woohoo!!) I had one of the techs remove the exhaust tip bezels and adjust the exhaust tips on my Centerline Competizione cat-back. I had a rattle develop last week and it ended up being the tip ratting on a metal lip sticking down that’s part of the rear frame. It was the worst on startup and going into reverse but it started to happen on light throttle inputs at low revs while driving too.

In any case, I found this thread trying to find pictures of what people had done with “real” exhaust tips and some modification or elimination of the exhaust tip bezels. I considered bolting up dual-exit tips for a quad look but honestly I’m just going to cut the tabs out, dremel the edges, and call it a day. I love the look of the large single tips with the big opening. I’ll have to post up pics once I clean it up and polish those filthy tips😬

Thoughts?

Not gonna lie though this looks extremely clean, especially with the spoiler. I haven't been able to find tips I like that would clamp right up to the Centerline pipes. Cosmo, did you take any pictures of the replacement exhaust tip bezels you made before they went on the car? Given that I have a lease it would be nice not to have to replace the lower diffuser/fascia if I decide to return it.

Hahah what about this bootleg Akrapovic set from ebay?

Hi guys,

Bought my UK Giulia earlier this year, my first port of call was to squeeze as much out of her as I could. Celtic tuning offered a stage 2 tune up bumping the stock 200hp to 320hp. Happy that the gear box diff and back end can handle this, this got done once she’d done about a 1000miles, love it using the DNA shows the differences in the programming levels. It’s such a slippery beast in Dynamic.

However I’ve digressed. I too wanted a quad set up. The problem I found was that the UK market for aftermarket parts was very restricted. Most parts only had a a dual tip rather than the quad, they also muffled the exhaust note, so there’d be no increase in the tone or volume. I blame Brexit, everyone else seems too.

So long and short after sourcing a carbon rear diffuser. I have now got a quad tip pipe. How? Well, I decided to beat European regs. But maintained UK noise emissions. To do this I was going to need to have something bespoke made. I employed the services of a company near St Albans called EMP. Who subsequently relieved me of £1,200.00 of my finest UK pounds. Great that’s not cheap....

Now the problem I have is I do a lot of motorway driving so I needed something that could change pitch on. This was the main reason for the cost as I included a pressure bypass valve. This works both electronically at the push of a button but also semi opens under pressure to maintain back pressure in the exhaust, if I suddenly dump the throttle open to overtake those pesky BMW’s.

Problem 2 EMP had never done a Giulia exhaust, so as much as he was confident it would be the preverbial dogs dooh dar’s. He wouldn’t guarantee it’s sound or behaviour. That’s an expensive risk for sure for me. Either way one I took. I wanted quads.

The end result is now here and on the car. I have a 3” CAT back system with Mandrel bends on tig welded s/steal. This runs to the Bypass valve allowing for the exhaust to be directed away from the silencer. At the push of the button I can direct it through the back box keeping the noise to a level I don’t end up with a migraine from. However as noted if I drop the hammer it forces the valve open by sensing the increased exhaust pressure, this in turn reduces any additional lag.

I have to say I am really happy with the work done.

It has been so worth it and I have to say the car shows I go to it is definitely a head turner, while being the centre piece at a show at Silverstone.
Hi Mate, can you reach out to me Gordon! Interested in what you had done to this exactly as I knew it wasn't standard as soon as I drove it.
