milltek fitting

[Hobbiniho]

right basically iv bought a milltek downpipe to fit to my tdi 130, i cant afford the rest of the system right now but i am looking to fit the downpipe and fit the rest after. what i was wanting to know is the standard size of the exhaust 2.25" as i wil need a reducer from the milltek 2.5 inch system. any help appreciated

To be honest you'd be just as well tucking it away somewhere until you get the rest of the system to couple it up with.

A downpipe to standard system will give you no real gains and will save a lot of hastle, gather up the parts in your own time then fit all together.

I disagree, i say get it put on, the sound will change slightly and will decrease the back pressure slightly thus giving better spooling

yeh well iv had it sitting in my bedroom for ages and going to be working with the car in a couple of weeks time at a mates shed and thought it would be a fine time to get this fitted as it is no use sat in my bedroom

after getting the tape measure out and measuring the milltek i have bought one of these from ebay, iv gone for size nine as it will fit snuggly over the milltek and hopefully fit onto the standard system http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Exhaust-Pipe-Reducer-3-Stage-Reducer-Reducers_W0QQitemZ130307834929QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e56f3c431

Total waste of time fitting it but it will give you something to do to pass the time i guess.

good luck with turbo to down pipe studs - not the easiest to get to without taking the drive shaft off!
