Middle section exhaust

[Davey]

Is the middle section of the Belina 2000 the same as for other 105's or is it a different length ? Mine is held together with bandages and given the car now starts, this is the next worse thing about it.

I think it depends on the system. There are some systems that have one long piece for the front and middle mufflers. Other systems have one piece from the collector to just past the front muffler, with another piece for the middle muffler. The Berlina being the longest wheelbase 105/115 car has a longer exhaust than any of the others, and most of that added length is in the middle of the car. So I'd say for stock pieces it's probably different from the others. Also, the angle of the bend in the pipe at the front of the middle muffler is different somewhat. I know on Spiders that angle is greater than on sedans.

All that said, separate non-stock pieces can be made to work reasonably well. I've cut down a Berlina system to fit on a Giulia sedan with no problem.
