Cupra tdi Mufflerectomy

The milltek isn't desperately loud when it's off boost, it's only when you give it some it makes a noise, my neighbours have never heard me leaving at half 6 in the morning (I asked them)

I didn't have a milltek silencer. I had a decat with down pipe. No box in the middle section with rear miltek box. Then removed the box for a pipe, making the whole system basically a pipe from turbo to back of the car. With the box it wasn't much louder than stock tbh. Once gone, on full chat it was great.

This is a quality sound!

 

[john_tdi]

Mine was bit louder I guess. Once it hit 3k it sounded nuts

 

[wbaxter90]

was it as smokey? quite like the smoke for some reason lol
Think im guna get a straight thru and egr delete kit at the same time.

It was but nothing to do with the exhaust. Map and hybrid effect that.

oh yer for sure, i hear the less it smokes the better the map? that correct? on standard setup that is

 

[john_tdi]

Kinda but not always the case. Mapped cars and hybrids will always smoke more than stock. Price you have to pay.

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

The smokes good for adding insult to injury when you tank it past a petrol car though. Just let's then know thy got pumped by a diesel

 

[wbaxter90]

love that, the smoke makes it look either powerful or broken lol

Lol, I had my mapped 110 straight piped last week. Sounds awesome when dumping at about 2k rpm One thing I have noticed is when I hit high speeds my car goes into limp mode as there are now no restrictions in the exhaust. I'm hoping when I get my injector nozzles fitted and go for a live map that this issue can be addressed.

 

[wbaxter90]

i plan on getting a straight thru just before getting it mapped, hopefully eliminating this.

I'd get the map checked. Thats not really anything to do with the exhaust. Done vag-com?

glad you said that, so i shouldnt have any probs running a straight through now? no map no back pressure issues?

 

[john_tdi]

shouldnt think so

 

[Matt-L]

It was fine before the exhaust was done. Someone mentioned the vanes are opening earlier and maybe maxing out too soon now there are no restrictions and that a map would sort that out?

 

[john_tdi]

i dont even think your turbo has vgt? does it? might be wrong.

did you have a downpipe and decat too?

It won't be maxing out too soon as the boost hasn't changed? It will spool quicker and will give less stress on the trubo if anything.

Put a Jetex cone filter on with a mufflerectory back box only an it will sound and pull like a hole new car that's on tdi engines anyway

tbh, if your going to remove the backbox, might aswell do the lot. It's like doing half a job!

Do it right, do it once i say.

TBH I doupt you will see anything with a jetex. I only used it once i had a hybrid
