Hi all,
It seems that on the Spiders it is all about exhaust placement to reduce
the amount of fumes in the cockpit. Some angle down, some angle to the side
and some like mine extend about 6 or more inches beyond the rear bumper (Tough
on the shins but effective). For some reason if they are flush with the back
of the car, a lot of fumes get inside.

Subject: [alfa] exhaust fumes
Hello To All,
I live in South Florida and rarely find it necessary to have the
top of my
86 Spider up, but during this recent cold spell it has been up and
I've
noticed a lot of fumes leaking into the passenger compartment. I've have
a
new truck seal(I understand they are a problem at times) but the fumes still
get in..... The car has a straight pipe out the rear and I'm wondering if
that could be the problem since I've since quite a few pipes that curve
towards the pavement (although they don't look as nice).. I'm wondering if
anyone has installed the downward facing pipe and if it solves this problem?
