Possibility of Blueflame Exhaust for Cupra/Bocanegra

i wouldn't go any bigger than 2.5" myself. the standard turbo just doesn't need anything more.
whats the email mate i might see if they wana use mine as a guinea pig for the 1.2tsi ! only in lancashire myself

Yeah, it would be enough even for a bigger turbo. Its only really when your talking 400bhp + you need 3".
It's now looking like early May for me, or possibly June. Just depends on when I can get the cash together really. Bought a Creamfields ticket yesterday without thinking haha...really need to stop spending like posh spice on coke.
mate i dont mind being the guinea pig for this, ive got the money ready and waiting
feel free mate...although i'd quite like the bragging rights of having my car as the first
i've now given up as I e-mailed warren not long ago and never received any reply. it would work out very expensive for me to travel up and down to lancashire so i've settled for a custom exhaust from a shop local to me. really hope somebody gets in touch with him though and gets it done! just couldnt justify the expense!
Sorry to sound a bit of a twat (bit of a newbie) what's the difference between decat and cat?
Any of the shelf systems I can buy for mine?
Cheers
not at all mate!
a decat is simply removing the catalytic converter from an exhaust...resulting in minimum restriction, but the car will fail an MOT on emissions.
simply put, a catalytic converter (cat) is full of precious metals that cause a chemical reaction to occur when exhaust gas is passed through it (oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, and the hydrocarbons aka unburnt fuel into carbon dioxide and water)
so basically, it lowers a cars emissions, but causes major restriction in the exhaust line.
a sports cat is a compromise between a decat and normal one. less restrictive than a stock one, but produces less emissions than a decat, so the car will still pass an MOT.
as for off the shelf systems, theres either the milltek or scorpion to choose from! hope this has helped

Thanks mate. Always hear people talking about them. Will a decat always fail MOT?
From what I've heard miltek are bloody expensive considering the other options? Maybe just a custom back box could be a good alternative? Not sure.
MOT's are getting stricter and stricter, I've known people running decats who have had it passed from some garages. Even heard of people doing an emissions test on another car and just using the data for theirs with a decat, but i reckon now you would struggle to find a garage willing to risk it.
milltek is expensive in my opinion but i'm sure it's a great system. i'm going for a custom catback, but it isn't really much cheaper than the milltek.
When it comes to MOT, ask around, there's always a garage happy to make an extra £50 cash to pop the probe into a different car lol
Got an email from them this morning saying there is no exhaust for the cupra at the moment,
So I replied saying I was local to there skelmersdale workshop and if they need a car for the development of one let me know so hopefully I will hear back soon
