Cupra r mk2 exhaust

[NFFC-BAZ]

Hi I'm looking at replacing the standard exhaust on my mk2 cupra r.
What would other owners recommend getting fitted? Looking at cat back with a subtle tone not a droning noise.
Thanks

Milltek or BCS here is a pic of the Milltek on my car

I've been in cars with both Milltek and BCS and I'd go BCS every time.
Infact I just ordered a BCS yesterday for my 2010 Cupra R

The pipes are cut at an angle to keep in tune the shape of the diffuser etc rather than just sticking out and there is no drone.

There is a BCS Cat back in the for sale section for £380 I think

theres a full bcs exhaust with decat downpipe in the for sale section too.

the seller only wants 500 delivered. or he could split no problem. non powervalve but in great condition. his numbers 07403923314 for pictures.

wowwee

I did see yours for sale too Andy but he said it was for a Cupra R so will have the twin exit system and he also said cat back so not looking for the downpipe.

Thanks for your help. Just looked at the piper cat back system with one silencer. Do you know how these sound?

 

[duncinascoob]

That Piper with one silencer is the cheapest system out there but they are very loud.... even more so if you eventually go for a sports cat or decat down pipe. (Piper also wont sell individual parts such as a second silencer)
They also look pretty rough in my honest opinion. (2 bean cans welded on the end of the pipes) LOL

I guess it will come down to personal taste on the looks and how loud you want it.

BCS will probably do you a deal for a similar cost. Speak to Nige but he can normally do 10% off for forum members, so their sports cat back comes in at around £440
Much nicer finish and look, better sound, less drone etc.

Just edit to add - Fire a PM to Herbie147 on here. He tried the Piper but sold it and bought the BCS so would be a very good guy to give a comparison.
Stays just round the corner from me........ And I thought these cars were rare...... I also park next to one at my works car park.

Hi I have a cupra mk2 with standard exhaust , I was thinking on getting the cupra R diffuser and BCS cat back system. Can anyone tell me if the diffuser is simply enough to take out and the cupra R put in to replace it.
Cheers for any help.

 

[duncinascoob]

The R diffuser needs to be bonded / attached to the oe apron.
It also needs to be cut out for the exhaust recesses first and then everything painted gloss black or colour coded if you prefer that look. then swap the exhaust and your good to go

There are a few guides on here and other forums if you have a search:-
