Hi Guys

Just been talking to a guy at longlife and been offered a good price on both Cat back and turbo back exhaust for my cupra. My question is, is it really worth the difference to go turbo back? Any help would be appreciated

No spell checks for the Welsh?:blink:;)

The downpipe and cat are very restrictive, youll get a straight 10bhp improvement but with a decent custom/stage 2 map should get your figures up to around 240bhp.

Right been offered the full for £400 which I thought was a good price. The guy at longlife is putting a piece of pipe in where the cat is with 4 bolts so when MOT comes round I just undo bolts and put the cat back in. So you all think full turbo

personally unless you only want abit more noise , i'd always get turbo back , cat back doesn't really give you much gains slightly better throttle response but no gains really
