Highly reccomended!!!

If you have tdi leon i strongly reccomend a mufflerectomy. My god how it changes the car. Such a cheap and relatively easy mod to do, but the gains are worth it. Sound and power gains. I never knew how restrictive that back box was.

Couple it with a decent induction and map and your talking decent power and performance. The sound is awesome. The 'owwww' sound when the turbo dumps is lovely Highly reccomended!

So you've just got a straight through pipe now?
How much did it cost?

 

[hon_n_gem]

Yeah its quite a common, the mk4 forum have quite a few people with straight through pipes.

You can get them done for £100 or so with whatever tip you want.

 

[evo2345]

what induction kit are you running?

 

[andyspencer]

pipercross vis. its the one with the foam cone.
but yeah running straight through now. Ive kept the cat. I was debating removing it as some of the lads have done that and reported good gains etc.. I kept it and just went for straight through, cat back. My god it makes a difference. Cherap mod, but so so affective.
As power mods go for this car, remap, and straight through.. you wopnt go wrong

 

[andyspencer]

.. also i kept the twin tailpipe theme going. I know most people go for the single oval. But results are the same. Just cosmetic really as i got the aero kit bumper cutouts

 

[lukecupra2001]

stick a pick up of the exhaust tip then or did you just keep the standard tip??

ANdy i've got that very induction kit. Open cone viper grey foam? I haven't fitted it can you tell me how you got on fitting it? where is your cold air feeds coming from? DOes it ever heat soak and what difference have you felt it has made? Cheers

 

[AndrewJB]

Wonder what De-DPF,De-Cat,Mufflercotomy and De-DPF Remap would Do and sound like

 

[WeeG]

Andrew correct me if i'm wrong, but when you get the dpf delete you don't have a cat anymore anyways lol! its a straight through to back box

I've had a look when cars up in ramp and i'm pretty sure it's off! Good job phase 3 is under development

 

[delboyuk2005uk]

phase 3?

 

[WeeG]

Yeh lol, still under development but it's the next step for the cars

 

[lukecupra2001]

Get rid of the back box and just have strate through pipe.
Piper did a kit for mk1 leon after alot of people hounded them for it, maybe somebody should get after them see what they say

[delboyuk2005uk]

Yeh lol, still under development but it's the next step for the cars

any idea what stage 3 will be or do?

 

[WeeG]

I dunno the power gains mate, but by the sounds of things it will mean uprating some engine internals and so on, as they are trying to find weak points in the running gear! So must be pushing for mega power!

to be honest mate it wasnt straight forward.. the kit comes for mkV golf. Im sure it fits sng in a golf V but in a leon the pipe is too big. I had to cut it down about 3 inch. Fits lovely and snug now after that i got some ducting and attatched it to the scooped section of the grille (where the original air box got its feed from) and then ran it down to the cone.
It was a little noticeable on its own, you can hear the 'whoosh' a bit more too, but coupled up with the exhaust mufflerectomy its lovely jubly

I have a MK2 Leon reference sport with the aero kit and the twin pipe back box, can i have a mufflerectomy and still keep the back box and what exactly does it involve ?
