Exhaust Options
I've just realised that when I originally ordered the kit from Marlin, I didn't opt to buy the exhaust (probably put off by the £470 price tag).
Reading through the forum there does sound like there has been some issues with getting the Marlin one to fit, I imagine the exhaust is custom built for the car? I see some of you have modified/non-Marlin exhausts, so I was wondering how you went about this? I don't want to fabricate one from scratch as I cant weld, are their other options out there that I could hack down to fit? |
For which engine?

The 1.8t 20v BAM engine from a seat Leon Cupra r.

To be honest, £470 for an exhaust if it fits, is a good price.
I got a custom one made. But that was because I had non standard turbo ;) I needed to trailer car there though to get it made. Though while there, got a nice manifold done at the same time ;). Where are you located? |
I’m down in Wiltshire, in a small town called Westbury.
I’m thinking the best option would be to go back to Marlin and get one made, I was just hoping I suppose that there would be off the shelf options. I do have a really nice Miltek on the car at the moment, but I can’t see it would be any use. The £470 is without VAT but still I imagine £564 is still cheaper than getting one custom built |
Bells in Old Town, Swindon do custom exhausts. I'm pretty sure they can price it to whatever budget you have. They made me a custom stainless system a couple of years ago, for my Astra for under £300 inc vat. Was only cat-back, but it sounds like that's all you need too.

I'd get in touch with Marlin as a first port of call. Especially if you have just bought the kit. Should be able to obtain one to fit.
Place I got mine done, is a bit too far from you in Bradford |
There is a company just outside Bristol - https://www.infinity-exhausts.co.uk - they reworked mine on the car for me. Bells in Swindon (where I live) weren’t interested in it as it wasn’t a
Simple job. Cost me a couple hundred from infinity. |
