Oh dear, mine will prob arrive next week since we ordered so close and with my luck so far with Awesome I will end up with the wrong one even though I asked for the one to fit a newer bumper. Do you guys know what the measurement should be as I wont be fitting mine straight away decided to get the new bumper sorted first?

Just compair what is delivered to the pic on NickFR's readers ride thread. The newer designed tip looks as if it's cut at an angle whereas the older style has a straight cut tip.

damn...i clearly said it was 57...facelift as well!!!!!!!!

dunno wot to do now its fitted....?

Get in touch with them straight away on monday. They should send you a replacement rear box with the redesigned tip. I believe that's what they did for NickFR. Although they fitted his system for him.

Looks like we will both be ringing on Monday then! I can't tell much difference between them pics really, Maybe I will try and fit this exhaust myself in case it is wrong depends how hard it is to do. I don't want to pay someone twice to fit it and don't fancy driving miles out of my way to Awesome either. Sorry to see this happen hope they sort it for you asap one thing I hate about buying online.

Aimez - post up a pic of the tip when yours arrives and we'll help you out :) No point getting it fitted if it's the wrong one.

Well I asked about this when ordering and Sarah said she had ordered one for me for the new style bumper but my luck is not in lately! I will post up a pic then thanks Al never fear SCN is here to save the day! Still may try myself was looking while under the car today!
I think as a few have said with some jiggling it can be adjusted to stick out a bit more but I'd rather not have to worry about it and get the one a lil but longer.
So what you gonna do knight??

Well someone here said they fitted the old one and with more jiggling they managed to stick it further out. So you could have a play, why did the exhaust place not say anything they must have noticed? More importantly are you happy with the sound or do you agree with what people were saying on the other thread (not got mine yet they said I have to wait 2 weeks I think)

why you got to wait so long? maybe because awesome were going to send you the pre-facelift version but now have to go back to milltek to get the right one?

Well im pleased with it, i much prefer the oval tail pipe, and i can def hear a difference, its not loud loud, as in you can hear me coming a mile off which is not what i wanted, i wanted a sound that is bit deeper with a bit more gruff when you want to boot it, and i think it does that.

As looks go, i think it looks great, i did think that it could of come out a few more inches, but its not as if its hidden, you can clearly see it, but from the thread that altech put up you can see the diference between having it like mine and also a few inches further out....

i rang awesome at 9oclock this morning and they said they will ring me back today about what is going on, they havent confirmed that it is the wrong part etc....however i will not be driving to manc for a re-fit, as already stated i paid someone local to fit it for me, so they will not swap the facelift version for free.......

all said and done mistakes happen and im sure awesome will do what ever they can to make sure i get the correct exhaust and do not have to outlay anymore money in getting it re-fitted....:)

Glad you are happy with it that sound is exactly what I want from mine. They said 2 weeks cos they were on order as they had sold so many!lol
I will post a pic up when it arrives see if you can tell if it's the facelift one?! Seems silly I have to do this but I want to be sure and after my ARB incident I do not want more to go wrong!
Will try and fit this myself I have decided now, I like a challenge and if I can't do it then I will take it to an exhaust place.

ok cool, spoke to andy from awesome yesterday, he is trying to contact milltek, i think he is unsure wether it is the correct part or not....however he ensures me he will ring me again today to confirm,

dont know what they can do if it is the wrong part? im not driving to manc....and im not paying someone to take old one on and fit new one! oh well....we will see :)

they can send it to you and if you show them the receipt for the labour to fit the wrong one they can give you that money back? Is there a part number or any paperwork with it?
