Leon FR 184 Estate Exhaust Options?

Hi all, looking at swapping my exhaust out for something like a Milltek one - as although I appreciate that a 4 pot diesel will always sound like a diesel, I'd like a more sporty noise and slightly bigger tips to fill the space in the rear diffuser (which I'm planning to swap for a Rieger)

Checking out some YouTube vids for the non resonated Millteks for the Leon and Golf GTD, they sound pretty decent to me - so I started hunting around

I can't for the life of me find anything ready made to fit? Milltek sell a system for the SC & 5 door Leon FR, but not the ST - and the only ST version they have is the Cupra version... Obviously the Cupra exhaust is an exit each side, Vs single side dual pipes on the FR.

I'm not looking to make a Cupra replica, so I'd really want to keep the current style - at a push one small exit each side (the milltek FR tips are 80mm), but then I'd struggle to find a matching diffuser - as the Seat sport diffuser isn't for the ST, and all the Cupra diffusers are for much larger tips or quads


Any ideas or suggestions? I emailed Milltek and they said they don't do anything. Does anyone know how much alteration/custom fabrication would be needed to let the SC/5dr Milltek FR exhaust fit?
Or any other decent sounding options?

Edit - Milltek FR option that won't fit;

Down my area we use long life they build custom exhaust near enough half the price of miltek and they will give you options on how loud you want it and what tips and whether you want dual or single exit. I had one for my ibiza tdi pd cat back for like 300£.
So you should look on google and type exhaust fabrication in your area

Hmmm, yeah I'd been wondering about a custom - it's just finding someone decent. Seem to be lots of complaints about the main ones around me (mainly powerflow dealers) - either from poor quality welds or 'stainless' that rusts...
Does anyone on here have any recommendations for the Stafford/Staffordshire area?

For the price of a miltek you can get custom made from tony banks

Nope! I basically parked the idea for the time being, as the wife's car unexpectedly ate most of the funds.

Sorted out a decent remap instead, and decided I'd revisit styling later - as the exhaust will be purely for aesthetic reasons. Custom made is going to be the only route I think, as noone seems to make anything off the shelf for the non Cupra + non petrol estates
