New Milltek fitted today....New adjustable tips it appears
« on: September 19, 2011, 11:39:22 am »
Looks like they have changed the design of the back box tail pipes, they are now adjustable, so if your into sticky out pipes, then you can have them as long as you like, or tucked away abit better that ive just done..

Didnt plump for the shallower back box, as im happy with my large rear  :chicken:

I would've thought all new Millteks now would have the shallow back box.

Did they change the whole cat back under warranty or just your cracked pipes?

The bolt on tips are probably to allow for easier changing when they fail.  :wink:

The back box Mandy .. and i can see why making the tips seperatly is better for something that has lifetime warranty... rather expensive to change complete back box assemblys when all thats wrong is an over pedantic customer worried about a hairline crack in his exhaust :grin:

Steve is this a brand new system? I only ask as i was looking at getting a R32 rear valance and milly backbox to match but when i asked about the tips in your picture they said they dont come in a slash cut only with the rolled in tips like i have now on my GTI milly tips now  :confused:

I wanted the polished inside of the tips like yours and not the honeycombe kinda finish i have in mine

Thanks in advance for any advice

Dave

They do an r32 slash cut design, as a few ex r32 owners on here have had them, but whether the latest revision with the bolt on tips has been done , i dont know.

Full system is around £1100, cat back system is around £550+ not 100% sure.

The finish you refer to is GT100 on the R32 back box and the Ed30 tails are called GT80's. :smiley:
