Went to the Mopar website to buy the Record Monza exhaust but apparently the one they are selling will not fit our Abarth. It gives me the option to order with a classica or lusso but says it is not a match with the Abarth. I'm wondering if this is a hiccup in the system or if there is something else preventing us from getting it. Either way, I'm disappointed at the moment.
Strange. Seems the Abarth owner would be the primary consumer of the RM exhaust. Hopefully a glitch. Any contact info? I couldn't find the section of the website you are referring to. What are they asking for it?
No. That sure looks like the Record Monza that was designed for the Abarth and is OE on the UK version. I'm 95% certain of it. I think Mopar have confused themselves.
The EU Abarth received the Record Monza exhaust system from the beginning. The US Abarth did not receive them and they are just now releasing them in the US.
The Abarth 124's shipped for North American sales have a lot of things stripped out of the build. The monza exhaust is one of the key components that is a mechanical portion of the build. Aside from that, it's mostly branding that has been stripped out... steering wheel has a Fiat logo instead of Abarth, the Abarth lightning fender badges above the front fender turn lights, engine cover shows Fiat instead of Abarth, cap for tow hook in front grille is black instead of red, front lower spoiler trim is black instead of red...
I agree with the other assessment that the Mopar rep you spoke with doesn't understand the product. When I checked with my dealer here in Alberta, they told me this was the OEM replacement for the Abarth 124, giving it back the growling snarl that we owners of the 500 Abarth enjoyed so much. In my humble opinion, the stock Abarth 124 exhaust is okay, but a little tame for my preference.
My dealer ran my VIN for compatiblity (a Lusso) and its supposed to fit, however the product isn't available yet.
the Mopar site lists it as for 2017 Fiat Spider. Doesn't specify trim.
Anything that fits the Lusso/Classica bumper cutouts....will also fit the Abarth cutouts.
BUT...just so you do not get surprised,think about what that means. It means the two little tips get a bit lost in the big Abarth cutout. We tried the same plan, making one quad for all versions of the bumper. By popular customer demand now making another version of our Quad for the Abarth's much bigger bumper cutout. So, as long as they make just one version, it does fit but might be a bit small looking in the big hole.
Our Classica/Lusso Quad...notice cutouts.
Our Abarth Quad, tips are BIGGER because the cutout is much bigger.
I agree. The standard Mopar Sports Muffler sounds ok but a little mild. That is when it would be good to have the Monza Muffler. When and if that will be available?

I contacted the parts department at the dealership where I bought my Spider Abarth and asked them about the availability of the Monza Record exhaust system and they had no idea what I was talking about. The parts guy asked me to try and find a part number for the exhaust if possible, so I did. I had to take mine in for a thermostat replacement today so I went to the parts department with the parts/stock number. When they entered it into the system, it came back discontinued. I asked the guy how something could be discontinued when it had never been available to begin with. After some discussion with a couple of other parts guys, the conclusion was that it is not available yet and to keep checking every month. So...I guess those of us who want the "real" Abarth exhaust system will have to continue to wait.

Thanks Shark, his post threw me for a loop. Exhaust looks good but I don't want a whole lot more noise. My hearing is already challenged as it is, but keep thinking it would like my P2 tune even better

I suggest that you and everyone else who is interested in getting the Record Monza give Mopar Performance a call. The more inquiries they get, the more incentive they have to release it.

Although the larger Abarth tips do accommodate your baffles if you?re willing drill screw holes and you want to turn the noise down temporarily - right?
The last report from the guy with the 500 blog who supposedly has insider knowledge was that they’re finalizing regulatory approval for all 50 states and expect to have it ready for order some time in May. That seemed to be credible. It’s not the middle of May yet so the part number isn’t showing as available yet.
Could someone who owns, or has at least driven, the GT with the hardtop on please let me know how it affects the chassis stiffness / body rigidity? I'm considering buying the top as an accessory but would like to know what I'm getting before laying out the cash.
I'm looking at Carid, AXE EX10 Series Black and polished lip with a negative offset 18x8 rim. That being said I would need a 215/35R18 Tire. I am looking for some feedback and has anyone used this rim and tire size ? Were there any clearance issues, I don't want to use spacers or roll the...
So Im sure this has been discussed 1000 times but hey, why not again. I had a minor run in with a curb on the passenger side and need to get some new rims and tires now... oh the fun of testosterone and a fun car... anyhow, looking on tire rack looks like I can get some pretty light wheels to...
