booked mines in for thursday, guy suggested removing the back box, said it would cost £180. but i'm just going for the middle section just now, could get the back box done at a later date. only costing me £60 as well

Saw someone on youtube without the middle and rear muffler. To noisy man.. Not a nice sound.
Cant find it right now
I promise you you will be happy with centre silencer. My mrs likes it too and she hates noisy cars
just can't wait to get it done now lol. take it i shouldn't expect any performance gains? i.e. better throttle response?
I wouldnt have thought so, I got a 3" decat downpipe before I had mine done so removing the silencer hasnt really made too much difference, just sounds better, i thought the decat would give off a good sound but was still quiet
Hey could you report back to let us know how it sounds? I'd be interested in getting the silencer removed but I'd only want to hear the difference if I was going for it. Does this modification have much effect when driving normally?
I wouldn't really want it to sound any different to stock when driving about town/ under 2000k

Under 3k its as quiet as oem with a deeper burble.........unless your foot is planted to the floor lol
i'll be posting a few videos once i've had it done.
in the meantime, heres another youtube video i found of a cupra with the centre silencer removed.
if mines sounds anything like this then i will be chuffed to bits

i phoned up my dealership today to ask about warranty. salesman said that it could potentially void the warranty but only on the exhaust.
either way i'll be keeping the standard silencer just in case, could always whip it back on if the cars going back to the dealership...he said it wouldn't be a problem as long as it was professionally done.

theres a natural break in the exhaust around 12 inches behind the silencer. Theres a sleeve that fits the two parts together. If you cut the pipe before the silencer and undo the sleeve in its natural place, you could source and buy another sleeve for the side you cut so come warrenty work you can unscrew the sleeves and replace the scilencer. Very much doubt they would notice or even suspect the additional sleeve was not oem. Just a thought!
Sounds terrible to me. I just can't fathom how people can spend 10 grand on a car and then be happy hacking boxes off the bottom when for a few hundred they could get a decent system!
when i eventually go down the turbo back route this box will be going anyway. its just a temporary way to get the noise i want, before i commit to a full system.
its not going to sound much different to having a turboback on the car. saying that it sounds like 1.4 corsa is nonsense haha, considering that a turbo back system would usually delete this silencer. think there's a certain stigma attached to doing this as its a cheap mod.
well, people are perfectly entitled to do what they want with their own car, no matter how much they paid for it. I used to be quite snobby about exhausts, but at the end of the day its just a metal tube going from high pressure to low, the easier it can do this the better. far better off getting a custom system designed around what you would like than buying an off the shelf one, at double the price.
