Fitting a sports car to a GPF 2020 Mk3.5 Cupra?

[Cupra0161]

Hi there, I’ve recently bought a 2020 Cupra 290. I want to know if people are running sports cats whilst keeping their GPF on the car? I appreciate keeping the GPF will probably mean I take a hit on hp when I come to map it but I want to keep my car road legal/MOT worthy. All the posts I see have sports cars installed with a GPF delete. Any help would be really appreciated! Cheers

Hey! I totally get your concern about keeping your car road legal while upgrading the exhaust. From what I’ve seen, it is possible to run a sports cat while keeping the GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) in place, but you’re right—you may lose some horsepower due to the restriction the GPF creates. The key is finding a sports cat that is designed to work with the GPF still installed.
