Cupra 280 - sound improvement

[golf gti dude]

I want my Cupra 280 to sound more throaty and was wondering what's the best way to do it. On previous cars it was to put a induction kit on it

Any help much appreciated

Won't make it sound throaty, but have you tried putting the back seat down when you go for a spirited drive?

Makes a world of difference in my mk2

I just want to beef the noise up a bit. The car is quieter than my old RX8 I had

Also that helps with centre of gravity and improves laptimes. Truefact.

Milltek non res, I love mine

But how much have you guys spent on your exhausts? Guessing close to a grand plus fitting?

Won't be cheap to make a 2.0 sound really good. Milltek as said is an option but a good exhaust firm that knows what they are doing could come up with someting better made custom to your wishes (fittment and quality of Milltek is not as good as the price would suggest).

Got this from a friend (Golf gti 6 dsg with 3" milltek system) and though it was quite funny....

Cut the mid box out, makes a lovely noise now

How?? Is this a DIY job (a bit of the right diameter pipe with some clamps) or some new parts??

Went to a custom exhaust shop, cost £50 in Essex, there is pipecraft in Basildon if anyone lives there

Cheers fella, will definitely consider...

Would doing any exhaust changes void any warrantys?

Probably when it is a Catback it won't.
With a bigger downpipe (Turbo back) it probably will.

 

[JamieLittwin]

Is there any way I could check? Would love straight pipes out the back of mine

 

[Snah]

It is quite simple.
A catback exhaust only replaces the exhaust behind the Catalytic converter,
It will only make the car louder and doesn't interfere with the primary exhaust flow through the catalytic converter and all the sensors around it.
When you change the exhaust for one with a bigger downpipe (which nearly always include a 200 cells race metallic sports catalytic converter) the flow of the exhaust gas is directly influenced.
This means when you f.i. have a turbo problem Seat UK can blame it to the bigger downpipe and 4sure will.
Only help is your dealer who could keep you out of the wind not telling Seat UK.
