As above, anyone know how to prevent this? Just had a milltek fitted and it's knocking at the back and does'nt sit straight. :sad:

The obvious answer i know but he said he had problems with it as there was'nt enough weight in the back box apparently.
I think he was talking out of his aris tbh.

Yeah, the garage only fitted it, they did'nt supply it. Will have to take it back for them to adjust but can't be arised leaving it with them half a day. Thought there might have been some cheeky tweeks i could have done road side to straighten it up. :smiley:

I'd take it back to the fitter as from what i've read Milltek are pretty much the best fitting aftermarket systems that money can buy! Also, there is nothing worse than laying on your back in the cold and pissing rain trying to sort your exhaust out, especially if it is someone else's fault that it isn't right in the first place :wink:

Take it back and tell the guy to stop talking out of his rear!

Scorpion exhaust I fitted for my brother was easy and their is only a small vibration on startup pressure, all the measurements where perfect for it :)
