MAPerformance Giulia Catback -Built by You

With our new 3D scanner in hand, we were eager to see just what we could do with it. Alex, our design engineer, has a Quadrifoglio, which sounds phenomenal thanks to the twin-turbo V6 and so a Giulia exhaust seemed like a good place to start. Due to our roots in turbo four-cylinders, we knew we could do the same with Giulia 2.0Ts, and an opportunity arose to do so. We made a 3D rendering of the exhaust after scanning the car, and our curiosity tempted us to make a working prototype, because we can't leave anything stock.

And that's just what we did! Even though the prototype sounded great, we knew it could be better. In order to further improve the exhaust, we used the same 3D scanning and rendering technology, combined with input from the community. We knew it had to be easy to install, just like all MAPerformance products, but the community also told us it had to be made of premium materials, perform well, and sound great. To make sure we met all expectations, we enlisted the help of a local Giulia owner (pictured below) to test the catback, and he gave us the stamp of approval for what we consider one of the best sounding catbacks available for 2.0T Giulias.

Modern Automotive Performance is no stranger to designing high-performance exhausts for modern turbocharged vehicles, but for the Giulia, we decided to go straight to the community to determine what they wanted most in an exhaust solution:

Performance:

Owner's demand performance and performance are enhanced by decreasing the energy and effort that is required for exhaust gasses to pass through a system. To reduce restrictions, we used 3” inch diameter stainless steel tubing and meticulously designed the system with smooth, mandrel-bent routing. We also designed the long legs of the mid-pipe on our CNC mandrel bender to minimize the number of sections that had to be welded together, further decreasing areas that might create flow-robbing turbulence.
Another unique feature of our system is our tip-less design, this allows us to keep the end product cost low, but not taking away from the overall aesthetics of the exhaust. the end result of this is a stealthy-looking but high-performing exhaust system that still looks and sounds great when your driving past the competition.

Quality:

What you can control in-house, ultimately dictates the quality of the final product. Few other companies use in-house mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, but we do. Even though our state-of-the-art mandrel bender is CNC programmed, we even go a step further to measure the accuracy of each bend upon completion. From there, we carefully mock-up our exhausts on our custom-built in-house jigs to ensure the most accurate fitment possible. Next, our expert fabricators TIG weld each flange and joint with their superior back-purging techniques to ensure each weld lasts as long as the life of the car, while never leaking. Finally, each weld is inspected for imperfections before being sent off to our shipping department for shipment around the globe!
Made from high-quality 304 Stainless Steel our Giulia Catback is a rare find. Most exhaust systems on the market are made from an inferior 409 Stainless and are prone to surface rust over time. Designed with performance and longevity in mind we're certain anyone in the market for a Giulia Catback will be extremely pleased with the performance gains and exhaust sound of this system.

Sound:

When it comes to the Giulia Catback exhausts few things that matter as much as sound. Other companies design an exhaust for performance and fitment, but the resulting tone simply becomes the result. Here at Modern Automotive Performance, we take care to focus on the little details in order to bring out the best in each and every Catback we build.

That's just part of what makes the Modern Automotive Performance Alfa Romeo Giulia Catback special. Of course, the sound it creates is nothing to shy away from either. You'll get an aggressive, throaty roar with the addition of a few extra ponies.
