Cupra 300 st with mk7.5 golf estate exhaust

[Damo H]

Yes, i have purchased the rear difuser and spoiler in carbon as well. The tips i've painted in glossy black. And BIG THANKS to this forum for all info

Did you need to repaint or touch up the top of the boot after removing the old spoiler?

Unfortunately i did not have the know how about removing the spoiler and was very difficult to take it off. Basically it was damaged but the lid had very small damages. I have some pics and i could share with you on the dedicated thread.

A build thread; I’d be interested in seeing that

I had to cut the exhaust in the ''Y'' point as the FWD has a different configuration pipes including the rezonator.
Then, I was repainted and added a fixing point for the support on the left side.
The big surprize is that now I have ''pop corn'' farts, similar with rez delete.

How does your exhaust look under the car? Do you still have the original resonator installed or also installed a resdelete?

 

[luluseat]

Yes, the original resonator is still on the car and I am very surprised about the presence of pops&bangs with the original resonator. The only change, basically, was that the final exhaust had 2 pipes, and now I have 4.

I had the 280 ST that was just too quiet, so got a BCS powervalve system that was almost perfect. The valve closed to so no lift off pops and bangs. When I was selling the car the old exhaust went back on and I had a week of boredom.

Soon as I got in the Carbon I noticed how much better the exhaust sounded. However it was still a little muted. Now with a res delete its near enough perfect.

Although I thought the tips could be taken off and ceramic coated, but looking at the photos, they must be welded on. So I may just get some new 100mm round tips ceramic coated and fitted instead. The only thing I've not yet done in this photoshop, is the exhaust tips:

Out of interest, what did you pay for the carbon rear diffuser?

I think it comes as part of the Carbon trim.

@luluseat didn't start with a carbon edition or R though

That looks great. Maybe a touch big but still better than the stock ovals

The stock ovals are 100mm wide. So to fill the gap properly, they have to be 100mm.

But you've got two @100mm so that's twice as wide as stock....

Sorry, I mean the stock Carbon Edition/R ST/Golf R twin ovals are 100mm wide each.

The stock 280/290/300 single ovals are about 130-150mm wide.

Oh right. That makes more sense

Well I Shell give it a try this week as I don’t mind trying it on this defuser as I am changing it

Did you ever get round to seeing if it fit?

 

[Philip Santi]

I'm interested in the cost because my detailer found a minor issue with mine and I haven't decided what to do about it yet

I have the Carbon Edition obviously, but I would say the Reiger one is still the best. Looks much more aggressive and like a diffuser, unlike the trip that is the Carbon one.

Not that any of these diffusers are actually functional.
