I think you can open the exhaust flaps permanently using OBD Eleven. Or you could delete the resonator.

I been told if delete resonator then it drones quite bad on motorway’s, I floored it yesterday and me bro said can hardly hear the gear change sounds like a normal auto

Maybe a GFP delete then? My Leon Cupra 280 is stage 1, which enhances the DSG farts on upshifts.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

There are no exhaust flaps on the Cupra of any kind, hatch, or ST. Its all piped in noise via a sound actuator.
Even the Golf R estate didn't have the exhaust flap, only the Hatch.

There is also no resonator on the GPF estate models to delete....

Your options are:

Get a Golf R/Cupra R exhaust (and a Maxton Diffuser) as these are slightly louder.

Cupra 300 ST 4Drive DSG exhaust swop for Cupra R ST one

Hi, sorry for another exhaust question on here! Can I swop out the twin pipe exhaust on my 300ST 4Drive DSG 2019 facelift, for the Carbon R ST quad tip one with no res box fitted? Is it a straightforward swop if not what are the differences I need to be aware of. Also can it be done DIY...

Aftermarket/custom system.

Any idea how would go about getting it but louder especially the gear change?

Besides changing the exhaust to Golf R/R ST or aftermarket?


If you want to keep the stock exhaust, then only sure fire way is to either get a down pipe without GPF (and mapped) or take out the internals and route the pipework from the entrance to the back box to the exit, but with some perforated tubing, that way you get the extra noise but should still stop drone.

Have a read of this thread:

Cupra 300 st with mk7.5 golf estate exhaust

BOOM! Before During After Just got to cut the diffuser. First impression it sounds a lot more refined and defo louder than stock, however, not louder than the original res delete I had. Tbf it will need bedding in a bit as it’s from a water damaged golf r estate. Just need to go...

Not all 7.5R have OPF fitted though, only those made after a certain date which was some time in the 2nd half of 2018.
