Golf Mk4 1.8T Milltek Hi-flow Catalyst/Downpipe

Quick question on the Milltek Hi-flow Catalyst/Downpipe.  Can you pop one of these bad boys between the engine and the normal exhaust, or do you need a Milltek exhaust at the same time?

Need a milltek, also if it did fit there would be no piont as the rest of the exhaust is  restrictive.

Fair play, just wondered.  Can't afford it all in one go, so was hoping it could be done in stages.  I really like the R32 exhaust, but am thinking it's not worth the extra £100 over the 4 motion style exhaust

Yeah go for the V6 4 mo bob you know it makes sense

Because that's what you have?   Guessing the garage can just cut a bit out of the rear balance for the exhaust to sit?

Yeah and IMO the R32 exhaust only looks good on an R32 with all the kit.

Yeah the bit is there ready to be cut. Best bet is to take it to someone who has done them before like awesome GTI etc.

IMO R32 pipe should be £200 cheaper
That pipe should only be on that car. Stick with twin rolled or discreet as I'm gonna, less is more.

I know it might seem a blow not been able to put on individually, but think how much difference it'll make when turbo-back goes on
Then stage 2 software

you can fit it to the original exhaust

well on the TDI downpipe you can as Milltek supply a reducer

the most restrictive part is your downpipe but you'll probably get a better deal by purchasing the whole system in one go

most Milltek dealers will do free fitting

Absolutely, Awesome all the way for any significant parts going onto the car.  Plus I love the fact I can get parts cheaper elsewhere, and still take them there to be fitted.  They have a BRILLIANT lounge area you can wait in whilst they do the work!

Really?  Know any?

no good for you but JKM in Portsmouth do free fitting on the car back and if i purchased the downpipe they would only charge me £15 to get that fitted though if i got the whole system they may do it for nowt 

i'm considering using them when i get mine fitted
