Hey guys and gals! Long time no see, been a while for sure!
Can someone point me in the right direction first of all with the exhaust system for me just so as I have a clear precise image in mind? I've got a Leon FR (170 CR 2010 FL) and want to make sure I understand the exhaust system as it is (stock) from the turbo all the way to the exhaust tip. So downpipe, DPF filter, cat, etc. I honestly can't say I know where it all is or how it all goes from start to finish besides the mega obvious tips and back box haha!
Reason I want to know is because I plan on getting some quotes for a new exhaust system and I see "Full System" stated but for both cat-back and pre-cat. Correct me if I'm wrong but pre-cat I am guessing is from the turbo to the exhaust tips, so if cat-back is from the back end of the cat to the tips then how is that called a full system too? Most likely I'm over complicating things for myself haha! Ideally the plan is to get some quotes as I plan to have a full system done, most likely from the turbo to tips, so in doing so I am thinking of having the DPF filter removed and the EGR deleted. If I get a full system with that in mind, would it be better to get a sports cat involved with the full system too? I don't want the exhaust to sound too obnoxious/loud so I'll most likely go with a resonated option. I just honestly don't know what these cars sound like with or without a resonated system in place (at least this make/model specific) and on the day of having said work done I intend to have it mapped to a Stage 1 too. Besides that, would it be worth while having an induction kit fitted before the mapping or would stock be fine for a Stage 1 map?
Sorry for the essay, thanks in advance!
