Exhaust for Mk1 1.8SE (not turbo)

[IMBezza]

Hi guys,

Center section and bracket on my exhaust need welding, which I can do myself, but I've just decided I'm gonna forget that and get a new exhaust. Basically, because why not?

I'm thinking of going cat-back but the problem is wherever I look I can only find info and exhausts for the Cupra, which isn't too surprising but I was hoping to find something which I could say for sure would fit my car!

It's an 02 plate 1.8 20v SE, I know it's not gonna get me much power gains as it is a naturally aspirated engine but if I'm spending the time on the exhaust I figure I may as well make it sound a bit nicer whilst I'm at it.

Can anyone tell me if the Cupra exhausts will fit my car? or where I can go to find an exhaust which will fit?

Ta, Bez

Milltek / Cobra catback for the Cupra (not Cupra R) should fit. Only problem is that you'll need a cut out in your rear bumper for the pipes.

Awesome, was hoping the Cobra would be an option (prefer the sound!). Is this a bolt on job or would my old exhaust need cutting?

I'm looking for Cupra bumpers to avoid making a mess of cutting - presumably the Cupra bumper from the same year is a straight swap? Would I need new fogs and guides or is that only for the Cupra R?

Has anyone fitted a cobra system to a 1.8 20v N/A? I've asked around at a few places, including direct at Cobra, and everyone says there is no Cobra exhaust which fits my car... Sad times

Can any one point me in the direction of a system which is known to fit my car?

Cheers
