Title: Miltek decat pipe
Post by: scarr89 on 27 January 2012, 10:19: I'm pretty sure that this is a larger bore than the standard on a 130PD. Is there anywhere would I could buy a reducer to fit it to the rear half of the exhaust?

Thanks :smiley:

Not sure as to that it matters on a diesel as its not subject to a full CAT test, not 100% sure either though. The vehicles age maybe has something to do with it aswel?

Post by: Steve_PD on 27 January 2012, 20:08: All vehicles which have cats
