the downpipe on that miltek is for a k04 turbo :smiley:

Post by: LR5V on 03 January 2016, 00:35: Unless I am mistaken that used milltek Add has been running since Xmas 2014 or at least Spring 2015!

I know that because I was looking at that as an option back then just for the Anni system & flog on the downpipe.
IMO The price is about £100 too high, the K04 downpipe is desirable, but under £300 is a more realistic price, especially as its collection or own courier.

You could contact the seller, point out that their listing has been running for a very long time and make an offer either for the whole lot or ask if they could split the system from the down pipe.

If you end up with the lot, just re-sell the downpipe/spots cat on its own.

Title: Re: exhaust question
Post by: viperjsy on 03 January 2016, 19:59: I don't have 4mo valance just cut a little off the bottom of the standard one but no hole

here is a pic of my sportex

Looks like the Direnza system, without the label, some of their stuff is TUV approved.

just waiting for it to arive
Title: Re: exhaust question
Post by: viperjsy on 08 January 2016, 12:55: the exhaust arrived today and it is a direnza one
Title: Re: exhaust question
Post by: andy68 on 08 January 2016, 21:17: Some stuff comes with Direnza labels on it, some plain which is usually £20/£40 cheaper, I bought alloy radiator without Direnza stencilled on it was £40 cheaper but still came in Direnza box. Are your tailpipes plain or do they have Direnza etched on? Hopefully you have Etched version got to be worth at least an extra 20BHP :grin:
