Milltek largebore down pipe

[richandhazel]

Just carried out a pre-MOT check on the TDI and the forward pipe/cat has a hole where it joins the rear pipe/box.
I welded a hole near the cat last year so I think I have delayed the ineviteable for long enough.
I've found two options:-

A direct replacement: https://sslrelay.com/buypartsby.co.uk/catalytic_converters_details.php?recordID=347 that comes to £102.35 with VAT and delivery.

Or this: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php?xProd=6099&xSec=141 I'm looking into a discount via the uk-mkiv's website.

Just wondered what thoughts were? I've already spoken to the MOT inspector I use and he says he can't fail it as long as it passes the smoke emissions.

Hi Chris,

Sounds like the best option. I assume they couple to the rest of the original system without any problems?

[richandhazel]

Thanks you both for the quick replies. MOT is just over a week away so I think I'll order one today.

Downpipe ordered

Apparently all I'll need is a reducer to connect the downpipe to the original catback system. Chris, where did you get the reducer?

[topher]

i didn't mate, i have the full system. i would think any decent exhaust place could knock one up easy enough though.

[richandhazel]

Ok mate. Cheers.

i have just got the full miltec for my car and the reducer pipe came in the box

I only ordered the downpipe and for some reason they don't supply the reducer with the downpipe alone.
