Slight thread resurrection but I have just got off the phone with Milltek and quite frankly I am a little disappointed!  I explained my requirements and they point blank said that they absolutely would not supply an adapter sleeve as in all their literature they state that the dp MUST be married to a Milltek cat back pipe due to exhaust gases backing up and causing premature failure of the catalyst??

I explained that they had supplied the sleeve for your system but the guy said it must have been a one off, and in any case the vRS would be completely different to a GTi because of the routing...... :sick:

Looks like I am going back to eBay!

Very odd... They were very helpful when I called and I said to them it was a second hand system... Other route is to find a local Milltek supplier and ask them to order one for you.

I have now spoken with Pipewerx, and they are willing to fabricate an adapter for me, based on the quality of their systems I think it will be top quality and it should come in at less than 20 quid.  The only issue is how long it will take them as the car is booked in next Wednesday for service and MOT and my mechanic has allocated time to fit the downpipe.

Edit:  Adapter now ordered from Pipewerx, 16 quid posted which includes 2 x band clamps.  They said they would make it today and get it in the post tomorrow!  Happy days.
