Hi guys,
Who can help me out....what is the standard diameter of our exhausttip on the MVI.
I am planning to take them a bit bigger.......... sheer looks.
I am in doubt between 90mm and the sometimes enormous looking 100 mm (Milltek stage II)
I ve googled like crazy .......before asking :wink:
-
Can you remove the tips on the Gti?

With a hacksaw, yes.
Then fit what you want with the aid of a TIG/MIG welder!

Wouldn't it be easier to buy a back box with bigger tips?

Yepp, sawing and welding...now go out in the rain and measure your pipes... :whistle: :grin:
(raining like there is no tomorrow overhere)

That depends on whether you want something noisier, non-standard, with potential insurance implications and something potentially warranty destroying.
If you have access to a TIG welder, you can buy a pair of stainless tips for £2-30 each off eBay and weld them on in a couple of hours - exhaust removed, tips cut off, new tips tacked on, exhaust fitted to check for fit, exhaust removed and tips seam welded up, then it re-fitted...all with the back of the car jacked up.
Far cheaper than a shiny (and expensive) replacement back box.

I swear they are 60mm, but I might be wrong.

No you could be right here....I somewhere read 63 mm but was not sure if they were talking about the 5 or 6 ...and I think the differ in size...
-
Well on the MKVI they are 80mm I find that way too small...probably just to make a difference to the R... :sad:
Anyway I have ordered the 100mm Milteks....that should do the job...especially after the ABT tuning those bigger tips are far more in place and as a bonus coming way out nicely with the standard cut-outs of the valance :cool:

Oh well both wrong.
-
We were only half wrong.....63 mm it is ......but only on the MKV :wink:
-
100mm is the size you want, looks oem but turned up a few notches :evil:
-
Yepp those are the ones..I ordered the GT-100 from Milltek
i am also busy with another mufler just to give it a little bit extra "noise" that is rather difficult because most mufflers give it too much in my opinion.

100 mm was a too big for my liking just a bit steep :grin:.....since I wanted to go for the OEM look I took 90 mm.
Believe it or not but the old exhausts (1 week old...ahum) fit into these..... :cool:
Tomorrow Abt :laugh:
-
Very nice, looks like 90mm is a nice compromise.
-
So it is true, it does exist... :laugh:
Looks great!! :cool:
-
Shame on you for not trusting a fellow GTI enthousiast..... :laugh:
The truth is that I am at war with both photobucket and imageshack....I keep pressing the wrong buttons and forgetting passwords/usernames...arrrggghhhh....and not really bothered about it... :whistle:
-
Erik - have you got any pics of it down off the ramps?
-
Not yet but I promise soon :grin:
-
As Promised...
Looks subtle but believe me ..the standard ones nearly fit into these :grin:...and still you have your OEM-Look (Fox)
A "normal" GTI parked next to it reveals it all shockingly... :evil:

Very nice,however did your GTI badge drop off whilst at that garage?
-
Nope the dealer delivered the GTI with decals and logos despite my request to remove it...
So when I handed it in for Abt Tuning he did what he forgot to do..... :wink:
-
Hi, picture of the VWR exhaust that was fitted to my car, not sure of size tips as im away at work at the moment..
Ps: Dealer fitted R badge removed and replaced with standard GTI badge... :whistle:

my milltek tips on the 35, i need to pull them in a bit when i get chance
-
Looking good.... :cool:
-
Looks spot on pal :cool:
Does anyone know if the VWR exhaust would be made by milltek ?
-
Out of all of these I'm still drawn towards the Miltek due to the option of Ed35 tips and the adjustable tips, Wigit that looks bang tidy mate as always!
-
The Millteks look beautiful :cool:
What I did find that on photos they steal the show and are nobrainers...so I ordered the 100 mm.
..
however when I saw them in real life I was shocked (a matter of taste) by the dimensions.
Lucky for me I could swap them for 90 mm Fox...

My Blueflame also has adjustable tips for reference :wink:
-
I do not get the adjustable bit...
My new exhaust tips were first measured, sawed and fitted with a few weldings ...after a final look I approved (same protusion as the original ones) and with the final welding they were mounted in place with a small metal colar.

The Milltek is a modular design so the tips fit over the pipe and bolt on allowing you to set how far you want them to stick out, the Milltek grows a couple of centimetres when warm
-
But surely when they are finally adjusted they need to be welded otherwise they will be moving about in the future due to hot/cold...besides the practical reason I personally do not like a bolted look....a bit Halford-style :evil:

The Milltek has some really nicely engineered spring clips that are engineered to expand/contract
-
Okay did not know that...anyway they are the nicest tips around so quality should be top notch I expect :wink:
