Milltek question ?

[subaru26675]

Looking at fitting a milltek sports cat to my standard edition 30 exhaust system and am wondering what is required. Am i right in thinking i need the connecting pipe AND an a reducer to fit my original mid section ?

IIRC all you need is a reducer...

So are you saying you cant have a cat back system with a warranty then???  shouldnt make any difference which end you opt to do 1st? if you cant afford the full system to start with

My warranty must be royaly f*cked then as I've got Jonny c's downpipe from his s3 mated to my non res miltek catback    Not to worry I no Charlie from Miltek

....Don't worry too much guys, it's a get out clause and its application will depend on other factors. Milltek will always try to support their products but the line has to be drawn somewhere - You can't in fairness expect any company to automatically support any old mix 'n match.

I think Candy may have a point.  The Milltek cat and DP is a free flow system.  To mate that to a relatively restrictive OEM 2 box system may create a back pressure in the Cat, and hence raise the temperature in the cat, and hence raise the stress on the cat.

Would be interested to find out though.

....You're absolutely right, Dave - That's exactly what can happen and if a component mix did result in a Cat failure, then Milltek would not be obliged to replace it under warranty.

That's why it depends on more precisely what the failure is or how caused, and hence the 'get out' clause.

Apart from trying to save money, IMO it's a fool's game to mix components, especially when a product has been designed and developed as a whole.

i was told this by milltek , the dp and cat is designed to be used with the cat back system if its used with any thing else warrenty is void , warrenty is for first customer too if you buy 2 nd hand warrenty is void too

Sounds like if the wind was blowing in a certain direction then the warranty would be void too 

[stealthwolf]

All manufacturers of all products have certain limitations on their warranties/guarantees (where applicable).

Shall we be clear on this...................

Are you saying the warranty on the cat-back is voided if fitted to OEM DP or the warranty on the OEM DP and cat if it overheats as a result of the new Miltek BB? 

[MAT ED30]

u do know thats bollox guys as milltek should say to everyone do not fit these parts in stages and would only sell it as a complete system.vwr told me that its bollox too
