Hi Guys looking for some much needed help as I have a problem, As some of you may know I recently purchased Jonny c's Miltek downpipe and sportscat for my Ed30 It arrived fine but tonight I was in my garage have a look at how to fit it to my car and came across a problem the down pipe looks as if it will fit fine but the connecting pipe that slides onto the cat has a flanged end where it joins to my existing non-res miltek pipe Which has a sleaved end on it :confused: :scared: Now I have the resonated box aswell which is off the car and in my garage so i tried mating them up but it won't go as it also has a sleaved end as opposed to the flange end of the new cat pipe?!
Any ideas guys? :confused: As I've pm'd Jonny just now aswell for some info
here's some pics

I have replied to your PM..
-
I think you need a connecting sleeve, and I think I might have what you need. I will need to check at work, and it can be yours for the postage costs if I can find it
-
Is that a 3" downpipe?
-
Yeah its a 3'' downpipe Hedge :happy2:
-
Yeah its a 3'' downpipe Hedge :happy2:
I thought Ed30 system was 2.75" or 65mm. :sad1:
I'm sure a reducer will work. :happy2:
-
Birdseed wouldnt be my choice of snack when working on the car.
Good luck getting it sorted!! :happy2:
-
I think the connecting pipe is wrong. Only 30 notes for a new one. Should be like this on mine:

Hope you get it sorted. Could just cut and sleeve.

Yeah, the systems are 2.75"
The down pipes are 3"
It should come with a reducer to fit it to the miltek system.
On my soot chucker, the DPF removal pipe is 2.5" and the system (same as ED30/GTi) is 2.75" - my reducer was missing :( .....
.....so i made one, contacted Miltek, the helpfull chap Pete sent me one out FOC the next day
If you need one, contact Miltek, they are only acouple of quid to buy
-
Haha like your Idea of thinking Deako :laugh:
Phoned Milltek this morning Spoke to a chap called Leigh couldn't get Charlie who I usually deal with never the less he was a very helpful chap didn't have any connecting pipes in stock but managed to source me 1 through Awesome so everythings sorted :happy2: Thanks for the info guys Hope to get it fitted next Sat along with Hpfp and Anti lift kit :party:
-
^^^ The reason you couldn't get Charlie was he was out testing my car all this morning at the factory :laugh: :laugh:
-
Oh aye do tell more^^^^^ All I got told was he was over at the factory :party:
-
I was there doing some development testing for a different size back box and resonator section, as the res version I had was far too quiet and the non-res far too droonie/boomie at mway speeds.
I now have a nice sounding "part res" system :smiley:
These will evenutally become options for the Mk5 on the Milltek price list :pomppomp:
-
Jammy Toad :P Think I'm going to put my resonator box back on when the downpipe gets fitted as the non-res pipe like you say is quite boomi at motorway speed with the map switched on :driver:
