DTH homologated valved system

If any exhaust for the current generation of VW Group two-litre engines can be considered unbeatable, it is the product from the German company DTH Exhaust. In this case it is 3.5-inch (89 mm) stainless steel piping with patented double valve technology. Although the Cupra has no valves from the factory, the DTH system communicates with the car's control units just as if it did. You switch the valves by selecting the drive mode and, for those who want more, for use off public roads (wink wink), there is the option of manual control. In automatic mode it meets strict homologation limits and has TÜV certification. The valve position is then controlled by both the selected mode and the current speed and engine revs.

For the Leon we chose DTH 4x 101 mm round matt black tips for the exhaust.

Have a listen yourself, although through a microphone and speakers it definitely does not sound the same as in real life. If you would like to hear the exhaust live, this Cupra is available at our workshop.

We are the exclusive importer of DTH exhausts for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. See the full range in our e-shop.

A sophisticated modular APR sports intake for the EA888.4 engine. It is a high-performance intake with complete air routing from the inlets in the front cross member to an enlarged turbo inlet with 109 mm piping.

The system is fully configurable: you can add a top cover to the basic open intake, which closes off the whole area around the air filter and creates a shielded ram-air intake.

The cover is available in a plastic version, which fits best with the original look of the engine bay. For a more premium look you can upgrade the engine bay with a cover in classic gloss carbon or even forged carbon. These two carbon parts can also match the APR carbon engine cover perfectly.

The filter box is compatible with all power levels, and if you move to a bigger turbocharger you only need to buy the larger connecting adapter at the turbo inlet. The APR intake has much higher airflow than the standard filter box, is less restrictive with lower pressure loss, increases power and torque, improves engine response, sounds better, looks better, is fully configurable to your wishes and comes at an affordable price.

For our Cupra we chose the plastic cover for an OEM look.

The front splitter is from the Latvian brand AT26 Design, a company that specialises in carbon parts for supercars, and we are honoured to be its exclusive importer for the Czech Republic. It is a three-piece plastic splitter: if one part is damaged, only that part needs replacing. It is also available in carbon.

The original grey on the grille, the front bumper trim and the mirrors was replaced with gloss black wrap film. The door pillars are covered with clear PPF film, and we also had the area under the rear number plate down to the diffuser wrapped in gloss black. The rear lights and reflectors got a subtly darker tint with smoke film. The headlights are protected by PPF film that darkens during the day and clears at night.

For us, the original Cupra Performance side skirts are a must-have option on every Leon, but this one did not have them from the factory. We also had their original grey repainted in gloss black.

The rear is finished with a Rieger Tuning diffuser combined with side trims from the same manufacturer. Because the centre section can be removed quickly, the electrically folding tow bar still works, including opening the boot with a kick of the foot. For a cleaner look we removed the rear wiper and replaced it with a plug. We fitted the rear wing with the original Cupra wing extension.

The original wheels were replaced with Motec MCT17 Bull wheels, whose design allows a bigger brake kit to be fitted.

We extended the original DSG paddles with T-Carbon carbon extensions, so they are easier to reach with your fingertips.
