Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System with Laser-Etched Brushed Tips (140741SB) - 2014-2019 Seat Leon Cupra 2.0L Turbo
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your hot hatch with the high-impact Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2014 to 2019 Seat Leon Cupra models, this premium full-length exhaust upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the classic S-Type sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and performance purists who crave an aggressive, sport-tuned exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the high-output 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine a bold, crisp, and high-impact growl. This configuration delivers a commanding exterior acoustic presence while relying on advanced straight-through internals backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely comfortable and drone-free during highway cruising, daily driving, or track days.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140741SB targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 3-inch inlet diameter that transitions seamlessly into dual 2.25-inch mandrel-bent tailpipes. To facilitate a straightforward installation, the kit includes a specialized 3-inch to 2.5-inch reducing sleeve adapter for a direct bolt-on connection to the stock downpipe system. For racing or high-power builds running an upgraded aftermarket 3-inch downpipe, this adapter can be omitted to maintain a true full 3-inch unrestricted inlet flow. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel bends and patented multi-core internal geometry that maximizes exhaust velocity and optimizes scavenging to unlock hidden horsepower, sharper throttle response, and enhanced turbo spool across the entire powerband. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense track heat cycling, and severe corrosion. The spent exhaust gases exit through a sleek single split rear exit layout finished with dual 2.75-inch round, angle-cut brushed T-304 stainless steel tips featuring a premium laser-etched Borla logo on each pipe. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line fitment, this system utilizes factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla's legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Acoustic Modular Versatility: For drivers seeking a more subdued volume level, this cat-back system is modular. You can add the optional Borla 60666 mid-section resonator (sold separately) when additional sound reduction is desired. Integrating this resonator re-tunes the assembly to Borla's moderate Touring sound level. Please note that this optional resonator is proprietary and is not designed to connect with the factory original equipment exhaust system.
International Application Note: This specialized performance exhaust upgrade is built exclusively for global market platforms. The vehicle configuration for this application is not sold or distributed in North America.
Chassis & Configuration Details: Precision-tailored specifically to fit 4-door hatchback body styles running the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine paired with either an automatic (DSG) or manual transmission. This kit provides complete underbody clearance for Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) models.
