Hi guys.

 

I've searched around but can't find anything related to the 1.4 TSI.

 

Has anyone fitted some sort of performance exhaust to a 1.4 TSI (specifically an estate?).

 

Not too loud and would still need to have silencers in place etc as it would need to pass a German TÜV (also such modifications have to be recorded on the log book).

 

With the standard exhaust I get some very very feint pops and growls (DSG farts I suppose that are suppressed by the exhaust).

 

Would just like to hear these a bit more but without waking up the neighbours and having any loud motorway drone.

 

Any ideas?

I've seen them listed for SEATs and Audis with this engine, but nothing for the Octy. Different image/user base or subtle differences in the underpinnings? Same platform so you would think ok, but maybe longer back box section? Maybe replacing the mid-pipe for a straight-through piece would give you what you want?

Yeah I've seen options for the Golf and Scirroco too. But very limited for th le Octavia.

 

Quite a few options for the MK3 1.4 TSI.

 

I've found a couple of options. Around €700 though. But they're TÜV compliant without the need to have the vehicle checked and it put on the paperwork.

Have a look at custom made? Usually  a decent place will be able to specify what you want and they should be able to make it for you 👍

Hi Phil, as it happens I have been considering the answer to the exact same question. And I think I may have found a solution for both of us!

Their catalogue seems to cater for the 1.4 TSI, I have a 2011 Octy Estate. I've chipped it using the Superchips Bluefin and installed a K&N filter inside the airbox but I think that the breathing is pretty restricted by the OEM exhaust.

 

FOX appear to do two different centre sections, one without the centre box! 

 

I've discovered that these are available here: https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheapest/fox.html

 

Are you actually based in Germany as per your user profile?

Interesting. I'll take a look at that.

 

Yes I have lived in Paderborn for just over 3 years now.

Hey Phil, did you ever take the plunge and buy yourself an uprated exhaust?

Hi. Sorry only just seen this.

 

No I didn't. Decided not to go for it in the end as had other priorities etc.
