Milltek Exhaust System, what am I missing?
« on: April 08, 2022, 05:52:53 pm »
Hi, I recently purchased a used Milltek 2.75" resonated exhaust system which will be mated to the standard cat, pics below







What you see is what I have, I know I'm missing 2 clamps, one between the rear and mid box and the other between the mid box and cat. What size clamps are these from Milltek please? Is there a part number?

Is there anything else, e.g. sleeve? I think that's just if you have a sports cat.

Should I change the exhaust hangers too? How many are there and are they all the same?

Cheers in advance

I've got that exact setup. There is a reducer from the mid silencer to the oem downpipe you need. If you can't source a miltek one should be able to get one somewhere easily enough as long as you have the right size. Just get a caliper and measure the diameter of the pipes and get some decent clamps. Miltek ones are OK but certainly better clamps out there, I upgraded one of them to one of these after it gave way: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114232198106?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rOoU34-dTe6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=8yB37yXtQ2a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It was a while ago and can't remember if that went on them oem side or the milltek side sorry.

Get the updated orange hangers from VW.  They don't sag as much as the original black rubber ones.  There's 3 or 4 I think, can't remember.
