Its a reducing sleeve  :wink:

Jetex website isnt exactly great at higlighting that, the info makes it look like a normal straight sleeve with kink bit!
And you say that fits over both ends perfectly?

Fitted lovely - the clamps then hold it place  :smiley:  I ended up with a longer sleeve as they didn't have that particular in stock and I needed it next day!  So ended up having to cut approx 1" off the Milltek downpipe

Thought I had pics of it but can't find them now  :undecided:

The easier option would have been to buy the THS downpipe as that comes with adaptors  :smiley:  Didn't know that myself until after I bought the Milltek  :sad:


Well ive emailed the company seeing if i can get my money back and buy the other one instead, hope my sob story works on them  :grin:

Dont think i could have got the THS downpipe for £62 though  :tongue:

Also did you fit a TT shifter to your derv? was flicking through some bit on here and it caught my eye and im bored today lol.

Well if you've only paid £62 for it then stick with buying the Jetex adaptor!  Still works out far cheaper :afro:

I did indeed fit one to my derv; not a massive improvement but it did help lose the vagueness you get.  I'm looking for a similar solution for my Aldi

I just hope i get the owl noise  :undecided:

So not really worth the bother to fit one to the derv then?
How is the OOOO going? Not seen it yet.

Lol I remember Adam being well cheesed off that he didn't get the owl noise on his  :grin: :grin:

For the £20 or so that it is, its worth doing :afro:

You obviously don't get out of this section much  :tongue:

Mine wasn't as loud as Steve's - you can hear his from the next county  :grin: :grin:

Unlikely - most likely have to order you one in  :undecided:

Yeah it wasn't cheap - think it cost me about £30 in total  :sad:

Wonder what mines going to be like then, seems like a lucky dip. What were the differences in your cars then?

Hmmm wonder if theres any TT's in a scrap yard somewhere.....

Ive sent Jetex an email about it, the one from ebay has already been sent so ill probs just wait and see!

Nice Audi btw :cool:

Between mine and Adam's?  None in all honesty; we ended up with pretty much the same spec car although his always made that little bit more power and torque

They're only £20 brand new or thereabouts  :wink:

Cheers  :smiley:
