New Miltek Fitted, tips too far

[edition_30]

Just had a new miltek fitted and the tips are too far out for my liking, is it possible for me to change how far they come out?

[AndyED30]

I take it it's not one of the newer ones with the bolts to move the tips up and down?

A pic may help.......

Its one of the new systems that does have the bolts to adjust the tips, i tried to adjust but it looks like the tips are already as far back as they go.

Hope this can be sorted as i don't like the way it looks

Here's the way mine looks, as an alternative design...

It's not my car but I prefer the look of the Milltek tips - Much easier to get your hands/fingers around to clean.

Hmmm well I have the same car and same exhaust and I have moved mine back slightly further compared to yours. Maybe adjust the system itself along the joins?

Surely if you're not happy with how they look you should speak with the people that fitted it.

You can adjust the hangers on the Golf and in this case the tips so whatever you want should be possible.

i have the adjustable tips and mine at sat nearly an inch further back. As The Hedge man says, take it back to the place that Spanner'd it

It's not uncommon for some workshops not to fit properly unfortunately.

In fairness they look ok just a bit low.

They do look different to the others on this thread on a side note -

Reasonated/non reasonated pipe and how does it sounds and feel (in terms of driving not physically!) Vs factory.

I'm in the market but would like an honest view not salesman patter.

....Well, I'm not a Milltek salesman but I am a bit of a fanboy!

Resonated:
Silencer on centre pipe section. Only a bit louder than OEM.

Non-Resonated:
No silencer on centre pipe section. Louder but not boy-racer loud.
The loudness only kicks in on use of the throttle.

All Milltek exhausts are primarily for performance and work in combination with a remap to deliver increased power.

Sound is very subjective but I would describe it as sporty but sophisticated.

Hope this helps  

Oh, and I have had various Milltek exhausts on my Mk5 GTI since 2005 and have now done 100,000 miles. So I have good experience of them.

My r32 miltek sticks out a bit too much too.
Mine does not have adjustable tips. When I fitted it, there was scope for adjustment in the join between back box and centre section...
I just never got round to getting back under the car. Lol
Loosen the clamp, remove from hangars and free up the join, re hang, adjust to required position and tighten clamp.
May need an assistant to make it easier.
