Hi, i’ve had my FR for a few months now and noticed that the exhaust is wonky at the back.

Instead of trawling through possibilities, are there any backboxes people recommend for the Mk1 ’05 FR?

Cheers

:good:

I’ve just looked at both BCS and Scorpion websites and neither boast anything to do with Seat… do you have any websites you could recommend i browse?

I’m after something that will fit directly on. I’m reluctant to modify if i can help it.

Many sites ive looked at boast “1.8t sport” or “cupra 1.8”, but I have the FR…..

Does anyone know of any exhausts that fit the FR?

I don’t want to buy a “cupra” exhaust and find out it doesnt fit…. :pinch:

A Cupra/Sport Exhaust will fit the FR.

However, if you are referring to a Cupra R exhaust, it will fit, but will not sit quite right in the bumper cut-out

The facelift cupra (known as Top Sport on the continent) 1.8 20vt (2002-2004) and the FR 1.8 20vt (2004-2005) are essentially the same car.

SEAT phased to Cupra out when the Cupra R was released, changed a few of the options and equipment, and re-badged it FR

Hello there. I’ve got a 03 1.9tdi Leon. Are any of the fr or cupra back boxes compatible with the Diesel engine, or do they have to be different? The standard exhaust tucks up behind the bumper, but I’m putting a cupra bumper on it instead so you see the tail pipes.

Many thanks. 🙂
