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.

Road-Test Review:
During our road test, we extensively evaluated our resonated valved GPF-back system under real-world driving conditions. We found no intrusive drone, and the cabin environment remained audibly refined and tame, offering excellent daily drivability.
For those seeking a punchier tone when flooring it, we recommend our non-resonated option when fitting only the GPF-back system. However, the resonated option is ideal when pairing it with a freer-flowing turbo downpipe. With Sport mode engaged and the throttle pressed, the result was a pleasant, sporty, and enhanced tone throughout the rev range.
GPF-Back System:
Our expert technicians have developed an 80mm/3.15” GPF-back system with quad 100mm tailpipes specifically for the Cupra Ateca GPF model. Here’s a closer look at the specifications and available options!
This exhaust can be optioned as either resonated (fitted with a centre silencer, which helps reduce drone and provides a more refined sound) or non-resonated (this option removes the original silencer and is louder).
Does our system retain or remove valve functionality? If optioned as valved, drivers will retain control of the car's soundtrack via the mode select button, allowing the ECU to modulate the sound levels from the Scorpion exhaust. Alternatively, with a non-valved system, this functionality is removed, providing a continuous exhaust tone without interruptions from the OEM valve operations.
Once installed, the new freer-flowing GPF-back system ensures efficient expulsion of exhaust gases, improving the vehicle's power delivery and sharpening throttle response while also reducing overall weight.
Tailpipe Styles:
Ascari: Our premium sport option, available exclusively in a matte carbon finish, highlights the distinctive sporty carbon weave. Its two-piece floating construction, with an inner brushed stainless-steel insert, allows hot gases to pass through without discolouring or weakening the outer carbon shell.
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.
Downpipes:
We’re offering 80mm/3.15” downpipes for those seeking superior tuning potential, both on the dyno and on the track. Scorpion’s advanced downpipe technology enables unrivalled engine output.
Choose the 200-cell sport catalyst for significantly improved flow over OEM or opt for unrestricted de-cats for maximum gains (for motorsport use only).
Exhaust Tunnel Brace:
Want to tighten your grip on the road? Scorpion’s lightweight aluminium chassis braces tick all the boxes. The single-piece manufacturing process ensures a high-strength connection under load. Braces are powder-coated black and etched with the Scorpion mark.
Our underbody bracing reduces performance loss due to chassis twist during hard braking or cornering. Enhanced body rigidity translates to a more direct feel with the road surface. (Fits both the Scorpion and OEM pipework.)
Valve Delete Module:
Ensure no CEL (check engine light), no fault codes, and full functionality of all drive modes when fitting a non-valved exhaust system with our valve delete modules. They work with any non-valved exhaust, not just Scorpion systems!
Easy to fit! Plug into the OEM connector under the car and use the included cable tie to secure the OE valve harness away from the exhaust. The fully waterproof design allows for a simple fit-and-forget installation with no mapping required.
Note: If you have existing fault codes from disconnected valve motors, use an OBDII reader to clear these codes before installation.
Fully Interchangeable:
Scorpion’s interchangeable program allows for flexible upgrades. As you progress through different tuning stages, your exhaust can be modified to meet your evolving needs. Check the individual product's technical data for fitment information, as fitment may vary between products.
The Scorpion Advantage:
Precision-engineered Scorpion exhausts incorporate our cutting-edge track-to-road technology, sharing proven motorsport tech with you. Crafted from premium T304 stainless steel, designed to endure the harshest of conditions. CNC Mandrel bent construction provides unmatched gas-flow, enhancing throttle response and boosting BHP. The manufacturing process also ensures weight-saving gains compared to OEM.
