Exhaust options for vRS

[larsberg]

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.

When you say back box is going, do you mean the outer skin is holed / rusted away ? mines like that but not really got any worse.

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

If your car makes in excess of 300 bhp then a 3" exhaust starts to make sense.

 

Otherwise you're farting in a wind tunnel.

As for exhaust, Do you have the option to go custom? Full system and decat cost me less than cobra etc.

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.

I haven’t seen there welding no mate just know they do the kits , I have a Tony banks sports cat to a milltek cat back I think it’s the best way non of this decatting and stuff just becomes a hassle come MOT time
