I asked my local exhaust shop, they said it would be more expensive to do a custom exhaust. I'm in Norway, high cost of living and high wages.

Well tbh I just trusted my mechanic on this one. He said it was a matter of time before it rusted through, but that'll always be the case on salted roads. For all I know it could be 5 more years. It's rusted through the outermost layer at least, haven't poked around too much in there. Friedrich motorsport make a turbo back system, with two different versions of downpipe with cat.: https://shop.friedrich-motorsport.de/skoda/fabia-ii-5j-2007-2014/?p=1 Bull-X as well: https://hg-motorsport.de/en/fahrzeuge/982/skoda/fabia_ii_5j_/rs_1_4_tsi_132_kw_180ps_

So I've been trawling the 'net for exhaust options for my vRS. The original exhaust is getting rusty, and I figured I'd might as well upgrade while I'm at it. A full turbo-back system is what I really want. As far as I gather, cat back systems only really change sound and don't add much performance. So far I've found Supersprint with a full turbo back system (https://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/skoda-fabia-rs-14-tsi-180-hp-2010-2014.aspx), though not all parts are EEC compliant which I am pretty sure means my car won't pass inspection. Milltek used to have a full system as well, but I can now only find the de-cat downpipe which also fails to pass inspection. Cat back system seems to be gone from their catalogue. Lastly, Bastuck seems to only have cat-back(https://shop.bastuck2.de/index.php?cat=500000&hg=500180&hg2=500180011), but I found this downpipe with cat (https://dein-sportauspuff.de/bastuck-edelstahl-downpipe-mit-sport-kat-skoda-fabia-rs-typ-5j-schraegheck.html). It doesn't show up on Bastucks catalogue, which I guess means it's discontinued. They do have one for Ibiza 6J Cupra, which is the same engine (?). I've no idea of this part exists anymore, or if the Cupra one would fit. Have I missed anything? Any additions from you folks? The original back box needs changing anyway, so if there are no turbo back options I'll just get a stainless steel cat back system and be done with it I guess.
