DKU Performance Upgrades and Exhaust Options
This SEAT LEON TDI S EMOCION received a full DKU Performance SEAT LEON Exhaust System upgrade, built as a turbo back, non resonated setup to maximise flow and performance. The system runs from the turbo through to the rear, replacing the restrictive factory exhaust and significantly improving overall efficiency.
A custom dual rear exit was fabricated with a split tailpipe design, placing one outlet on each side of the rear bumper to transform the look of the vehicle. By removing the resonator and upgrading to a free flowing SEAT LEON Exhaust, back pressure was reduced, improving turbo response and engine breathing. The result is a sharper, deeper diesel tone combined with smoother power delivery for daily driving.
