Cupra/Bocanegra Silencer Removal
- Thread starter ayacoub92

i'm sure seat would probably try to use this as an excuse for voiding a warranty, but as said above removing the silencer doesn't make any difference to back pressure. the standard silencer set up is just a pipe with a resonator box around it, removing it just involves replacing this with a pipe of the same diameter, with no box around it.
only way you'd change the pressure is if you used a larger diameter pipe, included a decat/sports cat and a bigger downpipe.

Lots of people have had exhausts done with no problems.
I'm guessing his car was an 09? The older models famously ate turbos.

I am not saying its right or wrong etc I am just stating whats happend to a friend of mine. It may never happen to anyone on there.
The turbo basically over heated, I am not a technician so I am just going on what he has told me.
SEAT warranty does state in the T&C's that any change to the cars manufactured figures (including noise) and/or changing of parts for non OEM (quality and specification) will void the warranty of any associated parts.
Like I said I am not saying do it or do not do it nor an I am saying its right ot wrong. I am just sharing an experience and knowledge, which is what i thought these forums were all about?

Hey guys 
finally took the plunge on Wednesday this week to have the middle silencer on my TSI 150 FR removed and I'm very glad I did makes such a nice noise now even when your just cruising, but when you hammer it, it pops and bangs up through the gears with the little dsg darts aswell xD lol.
Ill try and get some videos of it up at some point for other users to use as reference aswell for the noise.
I will say I've noticed the turbo and supercharger noises more and that it seems to have a bit more responsiveness aswell since its been done although that could be a placebo, but does seem that way.
For the user sorry forgot to check your name who was asking what it looks like ill take a photo of mine in the garage to show you what its like but as others have said you can't miss it, its bigger than my old DS3's middlessilencer which is in the garage aswell.

Cannot wait to get this done in the next few weeks, really looking forward to the sportier tone and all the pops. Cant beleive they didnt do it as standard.
Hey guys managed to get a video of the car reving to about 2,000 rpm in Neutral without the center silencer, did try and get one in motion but my gf didn't do the best of jobs xD.
Let me know what you think I don't you'll regret getting it done Chris best £40 I've ever spent

Mark where did you get the middle silencer removed?? If you don't mind me asking. I've been looking to do this for a while now. I'm the white boc that's normally parked near hope farm shops btw .
.
for those asking for the size of the silencer, here's a picture with my size 12 as a comparison:

Hey mate sorry for the late reply
. I got it removed at a place in Chester called hoole exhausts I think they have a longlife trained exhaust guy there and he did a good job and did it for £40 so was well chuffed . That's cool its a small world xD I wondered if whoever owned that boc was on here
.If you free later on today or in the week I could pop and show you the work , tone etc if you've not seen it in person before.
I only live around the corner at Kendal drive

Anybody have any links for some tailpipe trim that look like the milltek? Iv been looking and most are straight pieces of pipe that wouldnt work as the 2 drinking straws that the boc has from standard are pointing downward. Andbody already fitted some and can recomend any?
Powerflow probably have some. Really difficult to get some that look like them and iirc milltek charge about £200 for just the tips

Why dosnt that suprise me about milltek. I was going to go to powerflow to get my silencer removed so i may aswell ask them make me some tail pipes up too. But iv got a feeling it may start to get expensive and he will want to just do me a full system. Any ideas on a price just for the tail pipe section? Cant immagine it being more that £60 or so tbh.
What sort of places 'offer' this service if you like.
Places like F1 Autocentres or Standalone branches.
Etc.
Thanks
