Description
CUPRA is a car brand owned and produced by SEAT, a Spanish manufacturer that is part of the Volkswagen Group. It originated from CUPRA Racing, SEAT’s high-performance motorsport division. The name "CUPRA," short for "Cup Racing," represents a relatively new player in the automotive market, focused on blending bold styling with a performance-driven attitude. These cars combine practicality and sportiness in one complete package — and Scorpion got involved early, providing the much-needed aftermarket soundtrack that many of these sportier models lack.

GPF-Back System:
Our expert technicians have developed a 80mm/3.15” GPF-back system with quad 90mm tailpipes, specifically for the Cupra Leon ST VZ 4Drive 2.0 STI DSG model. Explore the full specification breakdown and available options below!
This exhaust is available in two options: resonated, which includes a centre silencer to reduce drone and provide a more refined sound; or non-resonated, which removes the original silencer for a louder, more aggressive tone.
Once installed, the acoustically tuned silencers — featuring specialised, unique internals (on systems equipped with mid-silencers or backboxes) — and precision CNC mandrel-bent pipework enable the exhaust system to expel engine gases more efficiently. This results in enhanced power delivery, sharper throttle response, and reduced curb weight, thanks to the full stainless-steel construction. Designed for durability, our system offers exceptional longevity, even in the harshest conditions.
Tailpipe Style:
Daytona: This design needs no introduction, the classic Scorpion Daytona slash-cut style with a modern twist on a timeless look. The Daytona is a great-looking option for everything from hot hatchbacks to flagship autobahn saloons.
Tailpipe Finishes:
Polished: Premium T304 stainless steel polished trims undergo a meticulous multi-step buffing process, resulting in a long-lasting, mirror-like finish that stays shining.
Black Ceramic: The matte black finish provides a stealthy, modern look. The tailpipes undergo a specialised coating process, ensuring a durable and flawless finish.
Turbo Downpipes:
Sports Cat: Equipped with high-performance sports catalysts featuring a 200-cell honeycomb design. This precision lattice structure offers significantly improved exhaust gas flow compared to the dense, high cell-count OEM catalysts. Emissions-conscious drivers can tune their vehicles while maintaining some level of control. Keep in mind that catalysts are most effective at their optimal operating temperature — not when cold.
De-Cat: Removes the catalyst entirely, allowing for maximum exhaust flow with no backpressure concerns — ideal for extreme high-horsepower builds. The purpose-built, smooth-bore design ensures optimal gas flow without the restrictions of a catalytic converter.
Exhaust Tunnel Brace:
Want to tighten your grip on the road? Scorpion’s lightweight aluminium chassis braces tick all the boxes. Manufactured as a single piece, they ensure a high-strength connection under load. Each brace is powder-coated in black and etched with the Scorpion mark for a premium finish.
Our underbody bracing reduces performance loss caused by chassis flex during hard braking or cornering. The result? Enhanced body rigidity and a more connected, responsive feel on the road. (Compatible with both Scorpion and OEM pipework.)
Interchangeable Programme:
Scorpion’s interchangeable program offers flexible upgrades, allowing your exhaust to evolve with your tuning stages. Whether you’re looking to change the exhaust trim for aesthetics or require increased tuning capability with high-flow pipework, our system adapts to your needs.
Always check each product's technical data for fitment details before purchasing, as compatibility may vary, and interchangeability is not always guaranteed.
