Milltek Cat Back

[Millsycupra1]

Hi, has anyone fitted the milltek catback themselves, i thought i would give it a go but it seems almost impossible to remove the old exhaust. i think that once the OEM one is out it will be a doddle to fit the Milltek. any ideas?

It's not to hard I've dropped a Oem system before. You should be fine just make sure you have the tools and good with your hands.

Im struggling to get the back bumper off, any ideas how it comes off? cant find any guides of how to do it? i think that the exhaust mite be ok now, its just getting either the defuser or back bumper off.

why u taking the back bumper off?

 

[Millsycupra1]

because you cant get the exhaust out otherwise, the tailpipes are tightly bent to the rear bumper.

 

[phil_monk31]

you just need to move it around a bit, I got mine off and the miltek on with out removing the bumper.

 

[Millsycupra1]

How did you remove the defuser?

 

[phil_monk31]

you dont need to. you just need to take the silver guard out, i think thats two screws.

iv got the exhaust loose but its phisically impossible to just "wiggle" it out, the bends are far too tight

Hey, i was just wondering if any on you that have fitted your exhausts have them hidden or on show?

Quick question with regards to the connection to the cat pipework, my milltek pipework seems to be made to accept 70mm rather than the existing 54mm pipework. any one else had this? do i have the wrong middle section?

Can someone with a cat back please take me a picture of where the milltek joins the OEM exhaust please? this would be much appreciated

dont need to remove bumper, just the metal surround, and that stays off

 

[Millsycupra1]

yeh iv got the exhaust into place now, its fully installed but im unsure about the connection between the OEM system and the milltek system.

 

[grant 123]

what you unsure about? its a simple job to do.

 

[Millsycupra1]

where the 70mm milltek system joins the 54mm OEM system. how do they connect?

 

[grant 123]

with a 54mm to 70mm adaptor

E.G.

 

[Millsycupra1]

Where did you get that from? did that come with your exhaust?

 

[grant 123]

Yes, they sell it as a bolt on kit, so comes with everything needed.
