I’ve just came across from an Audi A3 8v and as far as I am aware they all come with a valved exhaust which opens and closes dependant on the mode the car is set to...

On the A3 I had to open the valves fully all the time as they were closed until 3500rpm and sounded

I’m just wondering if this is the same on the Leon/Cupra? My ST sounds pretty disappointing anyway, but wondering if there was valves I could code open...

PS. Red delete is booked for May to improve the standard sound!

Don’t know about the Cupra ST but the Golf R estate doesn’t have it - on the R hatch, only the inner two of the four tailpipes are open until you enter Race mode when the outer ones open as well.

At the risk of sounding dumb...

What’s the difference between the exhaust on a Carbon Edition and a non carbon edition? Why would they need different exhausts?
Does this answer your question...
