Which option is the most reasonable to buy?

I would like to have oval pipes, performance upgrade and not to loud car.

This page will give you an idea of cost:

If you want the OEM+ look, go for the polished oval pipes.

If you want your Cupra to look a little different, go for the R and S3 inspired quad pipes.

Additionally, Awesome are offering free fitting on exhausts until late-ish October.

Personally, I would go for the quad pipes. But then again I wouldn't go Milltek at all - I'd go for a BCS exhaust http://www.powervalve.co.uk/products/seat/leon-cupra/leon-cupra-280-2014.html

I've got the Milltek system on mine, downpipe et al. A bit meatier than standard, sounds great but not much louder at all. That's fully EU-compliant with sports-cat and resonator... etc...

Very happy here.

Spotted a Cupra in Dynamic Grey at Goodwood FoS which had the quad pipes. To be honest it looked tacky and not for my liking, but bet it sounded good!

Hi mate is yours a 280? If so could you upload a photo or two of the rear of your car with the Milltek fitted. Are the oval pipes bigger than the standard ones?

A friend has the Milltek exhaust on his 280

That second picture is JUST what I was after, thanks! Gotta say the Milltek's tips don't look too dissimilar to the standard exhaust tips but they are definitely fatter and nicer. I'll have to add this system to the long line of things I want to get done to my 280. If only I have a spare £3k....

Don't know if they do it for the Leon too but for my subaru Milltek delivered black ceramic coated tailpipes for the same price.
Looked way better and it stays black.

than again I wouldn't order milltek again. No idea what this firms idea is on Quality control / good fitment is but I've seen better on no name ebay crap (took about two hours of metall work to obtain good fittment on a 2400 Euro exhaust system.....)

Sorry, but I've committed gross crimes against fashion, humanity and our OEM overlords...

Thanks all for the info.

JACUPRA280, those pipes look nice, I saw this video and the ovals didn't look as nice as the original ones from the side.

I have ST Cupra, Dalomas can you confirm if the position of the pipes on the bumper is the same with ST as it is on 5 door?

It's exactly as you can see in my photo above, as mine is also the Superior Trackcar (ST).

Got to say after watching that, the BCS exhaust sounds and looks much nicer. I know where my money will go when the time comes. As far as I am aware, the general consensus is that BCS systems are of a significantly higher quality than Milltek too.

the car in the photo is actually mine!

I went for BCS on mine, can be seen on their facebook page in a video.

I seriously need to stay away from this thread or I can see a new exhaust making its way onto my cupra when it finally arrives!

Lucky boy. It looks awesome.

JF, the Milltek hasn't been ridiculed, only opinions have been given in this thread. I just prefer the BCS.

I have a BCS catback and Milltek dp so I think im fairly flameproof when I say.... they are both wrong looks wise. I think the quad is too boy racer, more so than the golf R's pipes and the ovals are too squashed, not as bad as oem but still.

Whats wrong with a little RS loving -----

I like the RS3 but given that it's slower than a Golf R around the track (https://youtu.be/-3jWVTKYcP0) and the 280 is faster than the Golf R around the track (https://youtu.be/4tgdtVhQzJM) it isn't as special as it should be. Looks nice though
