Glad you're happy with it Chris. They are well made quality exhausts but you do pay for the privilege.

Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
Was quite impressed with the price.
£308 inc VAT/Fitting
Very impressed with the quality! - Can't wait to get the wheel bearing sorted on Thursday so I can actualy hear it lol
So the 'mufflerectomy' wasn't making the droning noise, and I wont be using my local garage ever again for giving me false information.

Wheel Bearing now sorted at AwesomeGTI.
Bottom intercooler bracket also removed at AwesomeGTI to stop the SFS hoses rubbing.
Car feels so much better! MPG is up too, 54MPG on the way back from Madchester, following a spirited MKII FR owner.
This week I shall be mostly saying 'I'm SKINT!'

Certainly are mate. Just hope my turbo last longer than yours did.
So your turbo seals went, did you get any runaway? Did you have lots of smoke from the exhaust pre-turbo suicide?
I certainly got smoke but not a runaway. Car has been at AmD for ages so they been looking at it etc..Certainly are mate. Just hope my turbo last longer than yours did.

Turbo is going in as we speak, custom map is getting prepared.
Chris - As regards to your exhaust was there much work involved? Ive heard back boxes such as a cupra R one are a weld on job and not just bolt on? Have you felt much performance increase?

So if it starts smoking then I know to........pray!
1 hour labour to fit a CAT back like I had done at AwesomeGTI.
Not sure about the CupraR exhaust, thought they were all bolt-ons?
Set me back £308.00 inc VAT/Fitting but many suppliers prices are going/gone up now, these include all the big names like Milltek, Koni, Neuspeed etc - I was told the only supplier that aint putting prices up is Forge.
Don't think I've felt anymore performance incease, possibly a increase on rollers but non-noticble to the average joe bloggs driver.

S...S....S....Save? Whats this word you speak about? Is it the equivalent of 'Credit Card'?
Sarah at AwesomeGTI has already talked me into Neuspeed ARB's - what a PITA she is!!

I know what you mean mate as I'm waiting on a Whiteline rear ARB to be delivered off them

The ARB's make a noticeable difference Chris, much stiffer. I do have a problem with mine at the mo as one of the rear droplinks has stripped a thread. I've now relegated myself to the Pug whlist some redline racing rose joints (courtesey of dpj Dave's pointer) turn up. I could run around in the SEAT but there's not the essential need. Even the Accord has found itself at work recently on the odd day!
Hopefully these will last longer than a year. I don't know if its a one off, or that the arrangement at the rear are not the best.... I don't know. Dave's changed his to Rose joints so reading between the lines would suggest the droplinks failed there too. Still worth forking out for.
I'm so glad your motors running great. Live long and prosper.
Cheers mate, I defo want the ARB's, but want to enjoy my spring/summer too so going to save and spoil the kids and me before making any more mods to the car...
Not yet fella, still all sat in the bedroom waiting for some Northerner to fit them for me
lolHows your doing?
