Hi,
I recently just bought my first car and its a 2015 Leon FR and I love it. Ive looked into cosmetic mods and mostly gotten help on that aswell but I have no clue how to go about the exhaust. Im looking for a more deeper and a bit more louder sound but not too loud that my neighbours will hate me. Any recommendations, video links I could check to get a grasp on what im doing or what I should do?

Anything is appreciated thanks!

Extra:

I also found this induction kit one with foam and the other which is pleated, what is the difference and which one should I go for?

Check how many resonators (centre silencers) there and then get rid of em. If it still isnt loud enough you could do a back box removal or a different backbox altogether.
Removing them all will definitely be a lot louder than standard but removing the resonators makes it sound quite nice.

I always go for a pleated one. I had a foam filter once, and will never go back. They tend to desintegrate and I think the cotton filters do a better job than foam filters.

With regards to exhaust sound, I would advice either a cutout or a valved backbox. This gives you flexibility. I have a cutout on my Cupra ST and love it. I have a decat downpipe, stock center resonator, stock backboxes. The cutout is just before the Y-piece to the backboxes. I have it closed 90% of the time for normal day-to-day situations
 
Hi guys, I’m looking for some advice on a custom exhaust setup I’m building for my 2017 Ibiza 1.2 TSI (110hp). So far, I have made a custom 60mm downpipe with a pre-catalyst delete, and from the main catalyst back, the pipework is 55mm, currently running into the stock back box. My plan is to replace the factory rear section with a new setup using two silencers and a new tailpipe tip. I’m mainly concerned about the noise levels—do you think that with two silencers it will be okay for daily driving, or will it be too loud since the pre-cat is gone? I’m aiming for a nice sporty tone without excessive drone or being too antisocial. If anyone is running a similar setup with these pipe diameters, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
