Exhaust
« on: 15 April 2013, 21:12 »
Hey guys, am I right in thinking that I need a down pipe and a de-cat to mate onto my miltek cat back? Is a 3" beat?

Any recommendations? Thanks

Going by your other posts I'm assuming you have a 1.8t, in which case the Milltek will be 2.5" and it should come with a reducer to attach to your standard cat.

You don't need to change the downpipe/cat in order to fit the milltek cat-back. The most restrictive part of the exhaust system is the downpipe so it wouldn't be a bad idea to change it, in which case any 2.5" system will do :afro:

I currently got a miltek cat back on there so if I get a 3" down pipe that will be ok?

Would I also benefit from a forge tip? If so where can I get one? Thanks  :evil:

If it is a true 3" downpipe then you will need a reducer.

If it is a 3" downpipe which actually reduces at the end (which some do) then it should be ok.

An aftermarket TIP would also be beneficial, forge are good, I have a Venair one which is excellent. Some people also run Creation Motorsports ones which can be had cheaper.

Again, you don't need it. It depends on your engine code but something like this:
