My Black Magic Mk1 LEON Cupra TDI index in 1st post

[Andrewcupra TDI]

simply the same thing as a mufflerectomy ?!

i went for the boxes wernt much more and sounds oem as ever can do , as you knew on the rolling road slightly louder on full chat

 

[Gordz]

should i do this ?

Seat Leon TDI - 2.5" Stainless system (Without Silencer)
[TSEA5BS] £374.83

£374.83??!??

I'm sure I've not seen anyone spend more than £100 getting a garage to just knock up some straight sections to replace cat and back box, ie mufflerectomy.

Why's it so expensive?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

gold plated and a premium added for copying an LCR

id want that at least decatted for that much

not much more for my milltek full system fitted by awsome

and that was a little more because i went resonated

2.5" is the optimum size for TDI exhaust sytems, and they dont need a cat or any silencers.
Mine is standard size exhaust with the silencer chopped off and a straight piece of pipe with a tip welded in its place, and that just burbles at the back. Not much louder than standard backbox tbh, only when you give it the beans does it make a raspy noise with the "pigeon noise" when you let off.

Im planning on making my own full 2.5" system out of stainless steel,PipeWerx are were I was planning on ordering the pipe from.

Maybe you could save some cash and do something similar?

hmm maybe more research into noise to power is needed

got fed up of stone chips so just purchased

Here comes the WHY's everyone else seems to get

Reasoning is over 2000 miles a month - so many chips already when I get the bonnet redone I dont want more - I am not a tale gater and todays stone came from other lane - made hell of a bang

When you bought that does it automatically charge you 14euros for postage or is in in GBP?

I wasn't sure how to go about it.

yes adam I have been charged €14 when it came to payment stage - if your thinking of buying I can let you know when it arrives and what it is like will more than likely post in here any how

Don't put that bra onto new paint

I know will wait for paint to have hardened long before use

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

That would be great, I was going to order one yesterday but I can't really decide if I'd use it or not
