exhaust centre silencer removal

[jaykicksass]

Hi all, I have a 1.2 tsi and was thinking about cutting out the centre silencer on the exhaust?
Has anyone done this? If so did it make much difference?
I dont want it to be too loud just to make a slight difference without having to fork out £400 odd for a milltek one?

Thanks

Jamie

I had it done on mine not 1.2 tho and it made a noticeable difference, nice rumble but not over the top. Not sure of difference between engines tho

If you cut out the centre silencer you will have a system very similar to a Non-Res system so it will be fine

I got a custom made back box made for my ibiza 1.2 tsi FR about 2 weeks ago and I am really happy may be getting the centre silencer removed also but going to leave it for now let it bed in abit more. only cost me £130 and I get full lifetime warranty.

it will never be a miltek though it wont make a real noticeable difference as it gets most of the sound baffled in the back box and the only way to get rid of that is to replace the exhaust with a miltek

Just so you all know, you can get the back box chopped out as well, did it on my old mk4 Cupra and it sounded nuts!

Edit wrong section sorry lol, it would apply to Leon's as well though

Yer that's why i got a back box sounds just as good as a milltek there a rip off anyway.
