jparkes43 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Hello. I bought this mid pipe delete kit and put it on my standard system and it sounds pretty nice with some pops too! i did a back box delete and it was loud a little to much for me but did have a nice sound. yet to take it off after my mid pipe delete but i will do one day. Here is that pipe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-1-4-Perfomance-Exhaust-Race-Tube-Centre-Pipe-Hoffmann-/351597428158?hash=item51dcd6fdbe:g:pG8AAOSwpDdVUNLa The sound is complimented by my induction kit you could also buy a different mid pie or different back box but i would just weld a pipe from where the back box would be.

jparkes43 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Yes they have a separate listing for the same part for a 1.0. Here is the race tube and back box combination if you want http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-1-0-1-4-Sportex-Exhaust-plus-Race-Tube-System-Single-3-/291632112126?hash=item43e6a0e1fe:g:dukAAOSwPhdVUNJw Here is a back box delete kit with twin exits http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Lupo-Sportex-Exhaust-Tailpipes-Twin-Jap-3-Cen-Exit-/272067663838?fits=Car+Make%3AVW%7CModel%3ALupo%7CCars+Type%3A1.0&hash=item3f587f17de:m:mF5Pb9GGAOgvwFbIZjENaQQ plenty of choices for you. i would do the mid pipe and different back box as i feel just the mid pipe is a tad to quiet but a full back box gone is to much James Edited December 6, 2015 by jparkes43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparkes43 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 if you do any of these please post a video of the sound i am quite interested. might fit some of the other options. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrizzle Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I have cut out the mid box on my 1.0 and put a cherrybomb back box on it and it sounds nice with a deep roar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's never going to sound like a Group B racer, but if you cut the rear backbox out and install a straight pipe. Drill some holes in the airbox. It'll sound reasonably meaty..... All show, no go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparkes43 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) depends if you want nice sound or going for a bit or noise. personally if you want a good sound then do a mid pipe but if you want noise do a back box. at the end of the day Skezza is right, save money (wish i had) drill the airbox and maybe do the back box delete) James Edited December 7, 2015 by jparkes43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camrizzle Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Or buy a cherrybomb rear box for 53 quid on ebay and weld it on then cut the mid box out and weld a peice of pipe in its place. Easy, cheap and sounds tasty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any exhaust sounds a little chavvy but i found this setup wasnt actually too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it thickening up the sound, taking it from a nice throaty roar to a bit of a fart. By all means, prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Skezza is right, keep the midbox and cut the box back out, stick a straight pipe in with a curve at the end. Job done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not here to argue by any means mate, i can see your point but i guess different people think differently to different sounds. Some cars go past me and i think "Why?" but a friend may think it sounds nice. Personal preference at the end of the day mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
