Abarth and Magneti Marelli engineers have developed a range of exhaust systems designated "Record Monza". "Record Monza" exhausts are variable back-pressure systems capable of improving the performance and the sound of the engine and making it more characteristically "Abarth". These thoroughly innovative exhausts also embody one of the most authentic traditions of the Scorpion marque. Thanks to the racing experience and genius of Karl Abarth, the 1960's saw the introduction of the famous Abarth performance kits whose key feature was an exhaust based on a simple but clever idea: these exhausts featured a central pipe of constant section with side passages through the fibreglass, and the elimination of all diaphragms to minimise exhaust gas compression. This simple but innovative system gave Abarth exhausts a clear advantage in terms of performance, and an unmistakable sound. In only a few years Abarth & C. achieved a global dimension: in 1962 the company's staff of 375 people produced 257,000 exhausts, 65% of which were destined for export. Faithful to this history, Abarth is offering the new range of "Record Monza" exhausts, with variable back pressure 'dual mode' design that improves the sound of the engine above 3000 rpm. "Record Monza" exhausts can be mounted on the Abarth 500, the Abarth Grande Punto, and on petrol versions of the Fiat 500, and come in a matt black finish, with chromed tail pipes sporting the Abarth logo in relief. The Record Monza exhaust for the Abarth 500 is available to buy from the Abarthisti Shop for £799.99. |

It says it will fit on the AGP but from when I had my quad exhaust fitted in which they went through each part with me.
Where the spare wheel would be in the boot (if we had one) underneath the car this bit is slightly closer to the ground so couldnt have the exhaust pipe going underneath it as it would b 2 low so went around this instead so it could fit in.
If you look at the quad ragazzon exhaust you will notice the same the pipe going over to the right also has to go around this part while this Record Monza exhaust goes underneath that spare wheel space bit would like to see it fitted on an AGP to see how much clearance from the ground it gets it does look like it would fit though

No, there's a range of them, with a separate system for the GPA. Both GPA and 500 systems have the variable back-pressure valve, though. |

I doubt that the model shown is for the GPA. More likely the 500.
I also doubt that the black finish will last very long and you've just got mild steel underneath.

Just had notification from my dealer. £759.87 plus VAT and fitting. The UK network have ordered a few, so get in quick if you want one. It will go on my new car when it arrives next month.
