Leon fr+ tdi exhaust advice?

[ET CUPRA]

Hi people, just had a call from my misses mate to say the exhaust has dropped off her 55 plate fr+ tdi over the weekend, she's taken it to joe blogs exhaust place who ordered the replacement and are now saying it doesn't fit properly and that it must be a "Friday afternoon" motor as he reckons they have put a twin pipe leon cupra petrol exhaust on it! I'm pretty sure all leon fr models models came out of the factory with twin pipes didn't they? And would a petrol cupra exhaust even fit a diesel fr? Any help gladly received as its nearly Xmas and she hasn't got stacks of cash. sounds to me like there trying to make a few quid
Cheers in advance

Well my FR+ 55 plate tdi150 has twin pipes at the back. My car was registered in 2006 and I always have to tell garages it's 2005 or you end up with a (2006) Mk2 part. That's probably what's happened.

I had this problem a few weeks ago. There is no true pattern part - you have to buy OEM or aftermarket. The garage might have just ordered the ordinary Golf TDI exhaust which has a different backbox - it often comes up on their systems.

The OEM exhaust is a horrendous price - about £500. You would be much better getting an aftermarket catback, such as the Milltek.

As above, the FR & FR+ came with twin outlet exhaust.
Buy an aftermarket stainless exhaust for much cheaper and it will last longer.

You probably need to call and check it's the correct part, but GSF have got the back box for £100
Part No : 252VG0690

They often do a 35% discount code email for the weekend if you can wait that long.

Sure it's not one of these backboxes though? http://images.esellerpro.com/2697/I/161/59/AU410 VAR30 VAR36 UCL238.jpg

Nobody else manufactures the Seat chrome twin pipe backbox.

Not on an FR or FR+ mate, this is more like the SE version
