mechanically minded female
. Im desperate to know what the rear arb is like without lowered suspension.
lol i miss the trade somtimes but i dont miss the workshop bitching but i know what you mean i used to hate working on my own car when i was a mechanic.
what arb are you getting?
staying on subject what exhaust tip did you go for? thats for you aswell aswell knight85.
Workshop bitching ,oh my god I am always saying men are worse than women. I am so outnumbered only 2 other girls and they work alot less hours than me! The worst bitching is about our nightshift & its foreman they are quite useless!
Anyway exhaust tip will be oval never liked the twin that came with my FR. Well was gonna get a Fabia vRS front ARB and the Whiteline rear ARB but not sure now I've spent all this money! May leave it a bit longer as it's not actually faulty just thought it would be a good idea to get it done along with the wisbone bushes I need to get done soon. Thing is I am not doing the front ARB or bushes myself no way and the labour will push this up!

Well I fitted the cat back this morning and went for a good drive. Not really any performance difference, maybe slightly sharper throttle response but nothing really. Sounds nice though when it goes from 3 to 5k revs. Maybe I will notice more difference when I've got the downpipe with decat fitted.
i have a turbo back, large down pipe, de-cat, non-res, with the oval tailpipe
![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
passed 2 MOT's, not a problem!
but i went de-cat after reading on here that desiel don't need a cat as they give off fumes which aren't measured (or summert) or much lower levels of Co2, hence the low car tax band............. basically they don't need a cat
by the way, quite as a normal exhaust driving normally, then when its playtime you get a nice roar!
defeinately get a non-res

Hi m8 does the downpipe make a lot of difference? Mine is coming in a couple of weeks. Also, what's it like to fit? When I was doing my cat back this morning it looked a bit tricky getting to the turbo coz of stuff in the way.
IIRC, i raised the passenger side of the car at the front and back, USE AXLE STANDS!!!
then you will be able to crawl under and get a spanner on the turbo bolts, 3 in total!
its more of a ball ache getting the exhaust rubbers on
, found it easier taking them off the car and fitting them to the "prongs" of the downpipe a new exhaust gasket for in between the turbo / downpipe flange, from the dealers, only about £3
as for difference, the turbo spools up quicker, thus increasing BHP
the major improvement i found that whilst commuting in traffic, cruisinbg along, i was able to cruise in a gear higher than normal @~1500rpm and was able to accelerate easier, with the flow of traffic for example, without the engine straining/struggling/juddering,
IIRC my MPG improved
becasue of being able to cruise in the higher gear and at lower revs! winner all round really!

Cool well I'll let you know how I get on. Do you not need to remove any bits and do you get to the turbo to undo the bolts from under the car? When I was under there it looked very tricky to get to the turbo! Like I wouldn't be able to get a ratchet up there...
P.s - how stupid is Seat's exhaust design, if you want to take it off in one piece you have to remove the rear "axle"! Why didn't they just design it in two pieces like the Milltek, muppets!
another point to note is, if you've fitted the cupra or the facelift FR rear bumper, order the Cupra / FR exhaust!
the cupra / FR bumper sticks out further and they weld the chrome tip to suit
you can get up to it working around the sub frame
yeah, almost felt criminal taking a hacksaw to a perfectly good exhaust
to get the OEM one off

Hop I am not gonna have problems when I eventually upgrade my rear bumper then the tip may be hidden then!
i had the origninal Sport pre-facelift bumper on when i bought mine and it sat nice with about an inch / inch & 1/2 as you can just see below
then i got nudged in the rear and needed a new bumper!
talked the repair shop
into ordering, spraying and fitting the Cupra rear bumper however when i went to pick it up it was noticable straight away
the end of the chrome tip was ~2 inches in.
but with a bit of re-adjustment to the exhaust
, ie. undoing the brackets and expanding joints (as if to take it apart) an inch a piece the chrome tip now is reasonably flush with the edge of the bumper i would have preffered it sticking out 1/2 inch or so but its either the way it is or i buy a new cat-back system, sell the one i have and loose a bit of cash. didn't seem worth the effort or expense
so in essence, if you definately plan to fit a Cupra rear bumper, get the Cupra exhaust and live with it sticking out of the Sport bumper a couple of inches until you upgrade your bumper.
Do you recommend I get them to fit it sticking out 2 inches or maybe more in prep for the bumper? I really cannot afford a rear bumper at the same time as this and don't really want to wait to fit it! It would look silly for a while but would spur me to sort the rear bumper which I keep leaving and buying random things like exhausts!
