Exhaust for imported Leon???

[no-fear]

Hi all,

anyone got any ideas where I might get a front pipe for my imported Cupra?
The UK spec front pipe includes the Cat, imported is from manifold to just before the cat. I have been informed (by ATS) that I would need to get the pipe fabricated.

Anyone got other options?

Cheers!

ah c'mon, someone out there knows sumfink
stop holding out on me.....

why would it be different!!! only difference would be by engine code not cos its an import is it LHD

You wouldn't regret getting a decent Downpipe from Pipewerx of BlueFlame.....

Cheers for the replies guys,

it is RHD, the guy in ATS showed me their brochure, and all the Leon zausts have the first join / connection after the Cat, therefore all the front pipes include the Cat.
Mine has a join before the Cat, between manifold and Cat, and it's not where the pipes been cut for a decat or anything like....

well I'm confused.

Can't get pipe from pipewerx or blueflame for the same reason....

HELP

nah, you can defo get just the downpipe.

give blueflame a call.

or, you can try and get in on the group buy

 

[no-fear]

cheers!

The guy at ATS is a 'tard - and very wrong

Arn't they all... though it still doesn't explain why there brochures don't have the same exhaust thats fitted to my car

have you tried the dealer, what year is you car and whats your engine code

tried the dealer, he quoted £700+ plus vat, siad it included the cat
it's 2003, engine AUQ

Cheers guys

you could get a full BF turbo back system for less than that

OK, with great thanks to Awesome GTI, I think they have the answer, the separate downpipe is a euro only fit, not available in the UK, the only performance exhaust that do one to fit is an APR 3" downpipe at £995+vat.

From what I can make out after 20+ emails and phone calls today, I should be able to replace the 2 front sections with the 1 UK front pipe, or else get a downpipe fabricated at JP exhausts...

Surely a custom exhaust fabricator - the likes of Powerflow - can make this for you to your spec? You could even have it made to look and sound standard-ish if you're selling the car.

All sorted, It appears that the other European countries arn't money grabbers like the UK.
European Leons have a separate downpipe from the cat, UK has all 1 pipe so the stealer can charge £700+vat, obviously with the European you have the option of just changing the downpipe.

Anyways, the cat and rest of the system are fine, very little corrosion so I'm booed in at Longlife exhausts, Leeds to fabricate a new pipe, they say the cost will be around £120 with lifetime garantee.
