I only did city driving until now to leave the small one at the kindergarden, my wife is actually asking for Cupra mode all the time, the young one loves it as well. He manages to fall asleep when tired even with the car booming :)
Still the car cannot go completely quiet now, I accepted this...
Nice work you have done there, I assume it also had a certain cost. How would you define the sound of the exhaust now, is it not too low now? How is it in high revs?
Here is my video with sound comparison https://youtu.be/vjlNWlgtGRI . I must admit I am getting quite fond of it and push the car...
I come back with my impressions on the JeDesign flap exhaust, I have it mounted for two days now. In terms of sound, I would rate the flaps closed mode to a 5-6 out of 10 in terms of loudness (original would be a 2 out of 10) while the Cupra mode/flaps open is a full hooligan mode something like...
next week I will have it mounted, will post a video. I have already taken some videos with the stock one, will do new ones from the same angles for comparison.
ordered JeDesign active flap exhaust for my 300 ST 4Drive, will come back with feedback in a couple of weeks after mounting it. the price was a lot higher than Fox but hopefully it will bring versatility (flaps closed - pretty quiet / flaps open - race mode)
ordered 12.01, still no build week, expected delivery beginning of July. stop complaining about 15 weeks of waiting :)
* Performance Pack is the reason...
super fast delivery, congrats and enjoy!
i have ordered mine one month ago and still there is no build week confirmed. anyway, I am not impressed by the mystic blue now that real photos emerged and I have also seen it in reality. I'll try to switch to Desire Red
Would be nice to get some answers, if you get the chance to meet the right people:
- is the Performance Pack / Sub8 including Brembo brakes for both axles (as seen in the rendered pics)?
- pls take lots of pics of Cupras in Mystery Blue color
- I have checked various SEAT sources and websites...
the 300 ps Golf R estate had 5.1 seconds to 62 mph and less CO2 with this exact engine. unless the CUPRA 300 is intentionally sabotaged, those figures must be incorrect.
all the other CO2 and acceleration figures are exactly the same as for the 290 version. unless SEAT finally admits that...
it's impossible for a MY16 Leon to have the old (MY13-14) low-res navi. I would pay extra to have mine replaced with the much faster higher res 0.7 inch diagonal bigger new navi... don't overlook this!
In 2012 the A3 was launched at Geneva (march) then the Golf and Leon followed at Paris towards the end of the year. The planning should be more or less similar in 2016, so let's wait for Paris this year (october) but official pictures should be released sooner.
Golf R should also be upgraded to...
to me the Cupra 290 is great news, it means the new facelifted Cupra R should break the 300 hp psychological barrier :) I know it's only 10 hp extra (or close to none in reality), but it sounds different (in a good way) :D
it is the Aero kit spoiler for 5dr Leon, the car itself is a FR model (judging by the wheels and rear bumper). the Cupra spoiler looks quite similar but is built in instead of glued on top like the one in the image (I have the exact same)
