1.4 Tsi exhaust modification (middle silencer removal?)

[Curtly]

I was looking at my exhaust the other day and the 3 silencer set up of the leon - it seems pretty restrictive (the middle silencer in particular) and it seems easily bypassed. Has anyone had this done? I'll try and get pictures later to show what I mean.

You mean like this. Lots of people have done this to there cupra 280's to mimick the 290.

Basically that yes , however the middle box is larger and in a slightly different place. You'll laugh when you see it as the entrance and exit pipes are next to each other

The owner of this thread has removed the middle silencer in place for an pipe. Perhaps he'll be able to shed some light, even though it's an Ibiza but with the same engine.

Finally found a diagram of what I mean here:

It shows just how unfluid the design is. My idea is to do away with the middle silencer (part 2) and just have a straight through pipe connecting parts 5 and 6

Seems straightforward, keep us informed.
