An offset milltek r32 exhaust, any help?
« on: February 07, 2015, 01:05:34 pm »
everything's in place but I have no idea why the exhaust tips aren't sitting correctly. they're pullin to the right.
car has 3" all way through.. does it look like the decat is the right way around? could that be why it's pushing it?
I've tried twisting the decat but then it nearly touches the side of the heat shield, although the exhaust tips sat much better.
something has got to be changed because now all the exhaust does is knock and I'm guessing it's the decat. One of the back box exits(nearest engine) actually touches the rear beam I think, surely that's not right either? any help?[/URL]

i had exactly the same thing when i fitted my miltek back box.

the bracket on the offside of the car needs to be undone and adjusted. that will then push the tips back into the centre

which bracket? the one on the exhaust? one of the exhaust rubbers goes onto a welded bracket whereas the other goes onto a bracket that can be moved slightly. I have tried moving that bracket but the overall stiffness of the exhaust seems to be too strong to be moved by just simply moving that bracket. if that's the bracket you mean?

its the bracket that the exhaust attaches to. there are two iirc 13mm bolts that hold the bracket to the car. if you undo them you can move the basket slightly that will move the exhaust.

yeah I have messed about with that bracket and it didn't change the position much. going to get it on a ramp and move the decat around because it's knocking like crazy and driving me insane. even knocks when car starts! I'll see what that does and add cable ties, just wanted to see if someone had a definite answer
