[AndrewJB]

Of course... A K1 is just a Cupra with a bodykit

I thought the K1 had a different exhaust setup

 

[AndrewJB]

It does slightly, the rear section is different, just like the LCR rear section is different

 

[Joshkcupra]

Oh right I see, I'd like to have mine removed, I wonder if anyone has put any before and after videos up?

Good point!! Intrested to hear! Altho mine be done in a few days hopefully

 

[Joshkcupra]

You should do a quick video to show the difference!

In the end it cost me £65. Worth the money if you want to keep the OEM look at the rear and not sound like a chav. On idle the exhaust now produces a nice burble sound, not much change in sound at mid range but sounds just right higher up the revs. No drone from inside the cabin and the car seems to pull better higher up the rev range.

Any lights showing up on the dash? Looking into this...

No lights or error codes. Covered nearly 200 miles since it was done

Great stuff! Anyone know of a place in the Midlands to do this sort of thing?

quick update, its been just over a week since the middle box was removed, the exhaust note is a little deeper and it gives a nice note when revved, was worth doing. sounds better, and car feels abit more free revving. excellent service at john ashley exhausts in walsall, £65 quid for stainless piepe and the welds look spot on.

Any pictures guys?!

AMD have given me a price of £150 including VAT, which is a lot more expensive that the prices you guys have received/had it done for!!

 

[AndrewJB]

AMD Scene tax

I got a quote from a local longlife supplier for £80.00

 

[Jimbobcook]

Do you guys keep the Silencer or just letting the garage take it?

Maybe a silly question..

Got this booked in next week in maidstone kent. Quote was £50 plus vat. Will report back when done. Im keeping the removed parts, just in case.

Laters

@babyface, who quoted you for that price?! As I'm in Gravesend, and don't fancy paying £150 at AMD Essex

It was http://www.maidstone-exhaustcentre.co.uk/

Used them a few times over the years on different cars and never had any problems.
