milltek lads
« on: 13 March 2012, 15:23 »
my 3inch miltek catback rests on my rear axle, is this correct? There isn't a lot of room to move it and the worry is that if its moved up a tiny bit using new mounts that it'll knock the axle. At the moment its resting on the axle and obviously bumps etc are slightly twisting the rear section

They changed all the clamps for new ones  :smiley: They said a common thing is people don't push the system together properly - they say it should never knock even on a lowered car  :smiley:

hmmm, mine was sitting dead straight but the bend sat on the axle itself nothing could be dine, raising it up would mean the tips were very close to the valance.

Not sure about that, I took mine to the Milltek factory, give them a ring they will be able to help you sort it.
