Title: Exhaust Fitment
Post by: gtimac on 22 September 2011, 17:41: Hi all

I have the chance of a nice Milltek system and was just wondering if there would be any Fitment issues?

It's off an AUM and I have an AGU. It's also 2 1/2 inch diameter.

Any help appreciated

Post by: gtimac on 22 September 2011, 18:33: Yeah that's it. Can you not just cut the existing valance with a Dremel?

Post by: km on 22 September 2011, 18:38: i guess, it's just extra work and not as tidy :grin:

Post by: gtimac on 22 September 2011, 18:40: Think I'd rather have a go with cutting first lol. £60 on top of the exhaust and fitting price isn't an option the wife will like haha
