Hi everyone,

For those interested to hear what the stock Cupra 300 exhaust sounds like I've done a small 20second clip.

I originally ordered one in white but due to a few 'issues' I ended up with this one in black. I'm actually glad as the black looks much smarter in person.

I'll have to get out and listen. I can hear the farts though, getting quite good at timing them when I pass their drivers window.

Never heard mine sound like that is this the DSG version mine is manual not sure if that will make a difference

Mine is also manual. Warm her up a little bit and you'll get crackles and bangs. The sweet spot for me is revving just above the 3000rpm mark.

Goody. A new way to annoy pedestrians and neighbours. I've not had that for years. My inner child's getting excited

Haha yeah enjoy. I did think about taking the video on my drive but didn't want to make all the neighbours feel jealous

Sounds pretty decent, how are you finding the sound on the move? Guessing you can't hear any of that then?

Probably the only thing that I'm disappointed with is the lack of noise in the cabin. You'll have to have to window open to hear those exhaust pops. Also, you won't hear anything at all in Cupra mode due to fake noise. Not my cup of tea to hear the exhaust constantly but with a car like the Cupra you should be able to have an option to hear the exhaust if you want to. A valved system or something should be an option from factory.

Well I may turn down the soundaktor as others have suggested. It'll not be worse than what I have now.

I noticed they sorted it out on the Cupra R it sounds much better (on YouTube anyway)

That's what sunroofs are for.

Yeah I wish I specced that actually. Never considered a panoramic roof before but ive just got a 17 plate qashqai which has one and to be fair it is quite a decent option. Makes the cab feel more light and open. Would have been a nice touch to the already decent SEAT cab.

Yeah, I agree. I originally just liked the contrast of the black roof for the aesthetics. So I opted for a cheaper roof wrap.

That was until I got to drive an S3 with the sunroof. Found that I used it quite often and it did wonders for the cabin really brightened it up.

Ended up cancelling and re ordering with the sunroof. Added months to build/delivery but I believe It will be worth it.

Better to get it right now and wait a little longer than regret it after taking delivery. Too late for me

That's what I thought. Wasn't cheap though. On PCH they actually tried to charge a little more than the standard option price at the time. Something to do with residuals when I handed it back.

My only regret is going for the manual again. I enjoy it in the 280,
but I loved the DSG in the S3 I was using (the farts on upshift.)

Turns out they are the same price now too.

The clip of the manual sounded good though, so I'm sure I'll get over it
