The Powervalve REV III Cat-back SPORT exhaust is our mid-range option for the Seat Leon Cupra ST 280/290 2.0 TSi, providing you with a perfectly balanced sports tone both externally and internally, creating the best possible full-time audible thrill from your Cupra.
The system has been carefully designed to ensure that any unwanted in-car frequencies have been removed, leaving you with a perfect drone-free experience, together with our characterful pop and burble, free-revving sound.
Powervalve offers a unique perspective on exhaust technology, providing the driver with the option of two distinct natures. When the car is pottering around or cruising, the sound is uplifted and noticeable yet controlled and non-intrusive. However, once the car is driven aggressively and produces a key level of boost pressure everything changes and the sound becomes purposeful and redefined reflecting the true essence of the Cupra 2.0 TSi. All of which are under the complete control of your right foot, therefore, you determine the sound minute to minute depending on your particular driving requirements. By using this unique interaction, the driver ceases to become desensitized in the way you would with a non-variable sound, leaving you looking for more time behind the wheel...
The primary use for the Sport variant system is public road or track.
As with virtually all of the TSi-engined vehicles, there is very little performance gain to be had from the cat-back system on its own, due to the incredibly restrictive downpipe and OEM cat. However, by opting for our unique downpipe and high flow cat the power potential will massively increase, firstly with an initial 22bhp kinetic, and then once mapped all the TSi 2.0 MQB Engine can achieve in excess of 400 bhp with our full turbo-back system and 100 Cell road-legal cat
