Milltek Filter-back Exhaust for Seat Cupra Formentor 2.0TSI 245ps (MQB Evo - OPF/GPF Equipped Models) (2022 onwards) – Sharper Sound, Filter Retained
This is Milltek's particulate filter-back system for the Seat Cupra Formentor 2.0TSI 245ps (MQB Evo - OPF/GPF Equipped Models). It replaces everything downstream of the factory diesel or petrol particulate filter with wider-bore pipework and re-tuned silencers, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The filter itself is left exactly where the manufacturer fitted it, so emissions equipment is unaffected. It's offered in resonated EC approved or race non-resonated versions and 5 tailpipe finishes, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.
It's the right choice if you want a sportier sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement on a filter-equipped car, without going anywhere near the parts of the system that keep it emissions-compliant.

What's the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions?
The resonated version adds extra silencing for a quieter, more refined tone. The non-resonated version leaves it out, so it is louder and more aggressive. Race versions are the loudest and are intended for track use.
Which tailpipe finishes are available?
You can choose from: GT-115 Brushed Titanium, GT-115 Burnt Titanium, JET-115 Carbon Fibre, GT-115 Cerakote Black, GT-115 Polished. The finish is cosmetic and does not change the sound.
Does it fit the Seat Cupra Formentor 1.4TSI e-Hybrid 245ps (MQB Evo - OPF/GPF Equipped Models)?
No. For that car, choose the Milltek Filter-back Exhaust Seat Cupra Formentor 1.4TSI e-Hybrid 245ps (MQB Evo - OPF/GPF Models) 22+.
Is it road legal?
Some versions are EC approved; check the EC Approved line in the specification for the option you choose.
Do I need a remap?
No. It fits behind the factory particulate filter, so no software changes are needed.
Does it keep the factory particulate filter?
Yes. It fits behind the factory particulate filter, which stays in place.
How long does it take to fit?
Milltek quotes approx. 1 to 1.5 hours.
What is it made from?
T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration better than lower grades.
