Valves exhaust on Cupra 280 ST

[dmpx]

I’ve just came across from an Audi A3 8v and as far as I am aware they all come with a valved exhaust which opens and closes dependant on the mode the car is set to...

On the A3 I had to open the valves fully all the time as they were closed until 3500rpm and sounded

I’m just wondering if this is the same on the Leon/Cupra? My ST sounds pretty disappointing anyway, but wondering if there was valves I could code open...

PS. Red delete is booked for May to improve the standard sound!

Don’t know about the Cupra ST but the Golf R estate doesn’t have it - on the R hatch, only the inner two of the four tailpipes are open until you enter Race mode when the outer ones open as well.

None of the Cupras, SC, 5 door or ST have a valved eshaust.

At the risk of sounding dumb...

What’s the difference between the exhaust on a Carbon Edition and a non carbon edition? Why would they need different exhausts?

Well there is the Cupra R ST that is coming out. Bargain at 38k!

Only 38k? It’s a tough choice to be honest...

3 Cupra 280 STs or 1 Cupra R? Decisions decisions....

Unlike the Remus, it plugs into the car and changes with the driver modes.

But it’s nearly £3,000 delivered and the tips to small for the carbons exhaust cut out in the diffuser

That is... Expensive.
