Hi Skelz,

What exhaust are you running there? I need a new exhaust for my 126 :)

I HAD one from 126 fan SK .. http://www.126fan.sk/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10_22&products_id=532

but had nothing but dramas with it weld cracks.. rattles etc.. So I have gone back to the original

I'm about to go out and get new exhaust, camshaft and cylinders for my beast.

I had a look at yours and it's fairly inexpensive.. maybe you needed to go for a more expensive stainless steel one?

I was looking at one of those high efficiency road mufflers that looks like a bazooka. I'd be paying around $350 for one though!

I'm looking at that conical racing exhaust:

http://allegro.pl/breda-tlumik-fiat-126p-strumienica-wydechu-maluch-i1562657015.html

The translation is as follows:

  MICHAEL TUNING SYSTEM
one of the biggest and best producers of silencers.
High-performance muffler having no virtually no resistance
It is characterized by a very good job and flue gas exhaust from the engine.
Do not have a certificate

Sounds like a goer to me. I'm just querying 126fan.com on the performance of said exhaust. Apparently you need to alter the hot air pipe slightly as well. (Possibly bend it or flatten one side a little bit?)

I'd be very interested if anyone else has one of these exhausts. :)

 I had one of them, but I sold it.
 It is very loud and i didn't really like the sound of it. It is definitely not for road use unless you wear ear defenders+you need a special support bracket.
 This one isn't mine, but just to give you an idea.

Breda is NOT for road use, as you say VERY loud, not bass rolling thunder loud, just noisy.

Wow! Now that's an exhaust!

Perhaps I should go for the record monza replica?
