Cupra/Bocanegra Silencer Removal

[ayacoub92]

Was reading somewhere that the middle silencer can be removed from the cupra and a straight pipe welded in. There's also a video of a boc on youtube with this done.

Just wondering if anybody's had this done on here? Could be a cheap way of getting more noise out my boc before i'm ready to commit to a milltek/full custom set up.

Here's the video, not sure if it would sound too loud?

that sounds well mate. the only thing with silencer removal would be the drone factor. depends how much of a factor this is for you or if you use the motorway alot?

i thought so too.

aye that's true i suppose, not really often, i'm lucky enough to only drive the car for pleasure work offshore so don't drive to work in it or that.

i'll go down to my local exhaust place tomorrow to see about getting it done. can't see it being too expensive, especially as the replacement pipe won't be stainless steel

You wana do a DPF removal for me ? Lol kidding

Did this a few weeks ago with my FR. Sounds amazing now! When cold you think you're driving a Porsche haha. Cold means a noisy DSG fart, Hot means a nice DSG fart. Sounds just like a Milltek, maybe louder.

After, only change your downpipe and you have a cheap and great stage 2 exhaust.

Btw: Highways ins't noise at all. Only when flooring.

Was done at a REVO dealer. Because the mapping was going wrong i've got it for free. Normally they asked 50 euro's.. Dont know how much pounds that is..

My goPro is for return right know.. Will post a video over... serveral weeks

Just do it. The cupra just needs it. You never want the muffler back

 

[ayacoub92]

probably less than £40!

didn't bring up any warning lights etc? no problems at all?

haha i'm very tempted by it!

speaking of DSG farts, I had a question, are they related to our engine's turbo in any way or simply the gearbox itself? Would you hear the farts in a 1.6 like you would in the Cupra?

unburnt fuel exploding in the exhaust line i believe. basically just "popping" which you could get on any tuned car really...

I've read DSG does it on purpose (and probably just has to do with the fast changes)

No warning lights or anything

I had this done, but had the entire straight bit of pipe either side of the silencer cut off too and had a 2.5" piece instead of the 2.2 which is what the std one is. It sounds great, NOT AT ALL 'droney'.

Deep burble at idle but not too loud. Normal diving you hear supercharger and turbo,o even the recirculation valve, moderte acceleration and theres a decent bit of dsg farting but sounds great, When you boot it it roar. 100% worth doing. How it should have come to start with

I had it done on my old Cupra for 80 quid

Didn't expect it to be much more than that.

Only thing holding me back is for warranty purposes etc. suppose I could always just go back to the standard set up though

I've kept my muffler. Not that i'm ever gonna set it back..

You can also buy a pipe from supersprint without muffler but is like 150 quid

 

[lucifer666]

Cost me 90 quid for mine. It goes from the end of the downpipe to where the exhaust clamps on to oem

 

[adamb87]

op..... do it !!

 

[ayacoub92]

just about to head down to stainless creations in falkirk, used them before and they always produce great quality work. hopefully they'll be able to squeeze me in today or tomorrow.
