Hello Rob,
I have a full Milltek on my
K1. The weld failed on the mid resonated box, on the entry side of the box.
Milltek sent me a replacement mid section FOC. I took it to my local garage, off came the system as easy as anything. Then, they put the front end of the new mid section onto the cat section no
problem, but do you think they could get the tailbox to fit the new mid section!! NO!!
Milltek realised they had a
problem here. They didnt want to send out a new backbox, for there is nothing wrong with it, so, I have agreed that I have a day off work, drive to Derby where Milltek is based, and they will fit the new mid section to my backbox & pay my expences!!
There was absolutely no way the backbox would fit over the new mid section, Andy @ Awesome reckons they will use their formers to stretch the areas where old clamps had been fitted, to allow bits to fit. The garage where I took it had nothing big enough to fit & when they got the welding torch out, it made things worse!! It would not come apart or fit together!!
I would therefore assume you have the same
problem, the mid section has been tightened too much, and wont allow the front pipe to fit in, since the diameter has been squeezed by the old clamp. Stainless is softer than mild, thats where my
problem occurs. Long as all the parts are for your car, then I bet thats the same
problem as I have.
Hope this helps you mate!
I could let you know how I get on. I am arranging this for mid week, next week. Stu
