Thanks. Did you have to cut into that plastic like in the video?

I did not cut anything and they work, so...it is not so critical.

New sport mufflers arrived today, Polish company Ultersport. At first look they seems quite nice. Hopefully tomorrow I can get them installed.

Look forward to seeing a video with them installed on your car as the lack of noise in the Cupra St is a big dissapointment and i dont want to buy a full cat back exhaust just to make it louder.

Whoaah...Ulterspor mufflers installed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRe-lOKiLbs&feature=youtu.be

In real life the sound is much deeper, even on startup you can spot the real difference

How is it they fit? Would you be able to reverse it? My car is one of the lease deals. So a bit stuck.

Very nice fit, but the original piping must be cut. I also keep the originals, so if needed I can reinstall those (some more metal works needed probably)

Nice, how does it sound while driving?
Unfortunately I am not going to cut into my exhaust as the car is new.

The sound is heavily engine load dependent. Some quite heavy resonant is audible in car from 2500rpm and up (this could be annoying). On the road 90-100kmh there ia almost nothing hearable. Otherwise 1200rpm, 50kmh 6th gear accelerating there is also noticeable low pitch noise. Outside is awesome (I have heard it once), cracks during hi-rpm gear shift.

PS! Mine is also on lease, original situation reversible and it will not affect any warranties (engine, gearbox etc).
PS2! When is the right time to make the changes, 1-2-5 years? What is different then?

Maxton Design front splitter installed. Did it myself, a real tight space and, 2 hours and 14 holes and bolts later.

I read about a lot of triple r quality problems...and I think I liked the style of this one more But, yes, I am happy with it. Originally planned to buy the one with white stripe but there were some topics about shipping (directly from them 69£ shipping, from ebay 50£ but no stripe). Probably I will make it afterwards.

Looking good, new splitter suits the car.

Looks really nice. Do you have higher res photos?
Was the front splitter a good fit? Easy to install?

So you didn't need to cut anything in the exhaust? You said you can fit the original back...

Another great day for my Cupra. Today Forge shorshifter got installed. 40% less movement, travel distance was about 10.5cm from 3rd to 4th, now about 7-8cm. I like it more. The gear shifter needs more force, but I like the shorter shifts. Needs a bit to get used to

Originally were already Audi S3 shifter sold as 10-15% less travel.
