too quiet

[betts]

just wondering if a stage 1 remap with an aftermarket panel filter would change the sound of the car?
i dont really fancy giong down the exaust or induction kit road,but everything seems abit muted after climbing out of a shoping trolly civic type r

mk2 cupra bye the way

Induction and remap will change the note but not by much, cat back or tbe are the only way to go i'm affraid.

The remap is just changing the software parameters that the ECU is running and won't affect noise at all. The Induction if its the open cone kind will add a bit of noise but you may lose power due to heat soak within the engine bay.
The majority of the noise will come from a cat back or turbo back exhaust as already mentioned.

the remap does make things slighter noisey when giving it some on the exhaust noise.

As said get a new cat back.

Funny - I've just come from a Civic Type R too !
Quite pleased with the level of grunt overall from the Cupra in comparison - but like you I desperately miss the screaming exhaust note of the Civic ! It really added character.

Go TBE then it will revs its nuts off with sound to match!
