    Hi, Im looking to change the exhaust on my mk2 2.0 tdi sport Leon and was lookig for some suggestions. If possible i’d prefer just a backbox to give it a bit of a nicer sound but ive never had a diesel so i dont know what is possible and what isnt?
    any help is appreciated.

    cheers guys!

    LeonOC recently worked with Special Tuning Racing and their sponsor Scorpion Exhausts to create a Cat-Back system for the MK2 Leon

    The Non-Res will give a nice burble on tickover and will make a nice sound above 2.5k

    The Resonated one wont sound much different!

    Scorpion are making to order so a lead time of about 2 weeks

    When i had my ibiza I went to a local exhaust specialist. Dunno if you have any down your way but as it was a custom-made system I could decide on every option I wanted. Just an option as the cat back system was 270 fitted.

    If you couple a Cat-Back exhaust, with a Downpipe + Remap then it will make a difference

    Downpipe+ Exhaust makes a difference

    once again the Downpipe and Exhaust on its own will give minimal gains, you need mapping to make the most of it

    What i mean is a remap for my car is around 40bhp. But with all three what gains are to be expected? Thanks
