i've been told that the pd160s exhaust with the chrome tail pipe should fit on my car as a direct replacement. Mine is the pd130 sport.
apparently the mountings underneath the car are the same diameter, meaning the bore of the exhaust is the same (possibly?).
if it does fit, then will it make any performance or sound differences??
i'd also need to buy the FR rear lower splitter with the exhaust exit, does the cupra exhaust exit the underneath of the car in the same place?? my guess is it does but i'd like more opinions!

nope, no performanc difference at all. Plus due to the rear bumper on the cupra being deeper you will find it might sit out a little too much. only around this is to chop the tailpipe and then reweld it back on with a small chop. You cn't move it at the other end otherwise it will hit on the rear beam as it goes over that.

Seat do a rear box but a little pricey.

ho about an FR one , think there may be some of those floatng anbout on the the for sale page, spaniels and tha lot all changed em. or maybe go for a Milltek exhaust.

Depending on how soon you want to do it, i may have an FR Tdi Exhaust and an FR bumper up for grabs, but may be a few months yet. But it will be off my Platinum Grey FR, an i'm up the road from you.

Just the back box unfortunately, and approx £220 - but it is stainless steel:think: I've just got the cupra exhaust and hopefully I'll have it fitted by the end of next week:D

Surely the Cupra roof lining,grab handles and A pillars are part of the "full cupra interior", or is the "full cupra interior" just the seats? :confused:
