Post by: yorkie31 on February 24, 2014, 05:53:36 pm
 Hello ,im looking at buying a Milltek cat back for my mk5 Gti and was just wondering if they had altered there rear box to be slightly shallower as could see a lot of it below the rear bumper and heard they were looking into this ?? anyone bought one recently that can comment ?, cheers

yes they have and the part number is msvw 333 but you have to buy the tips...know its for a diesel but should fit yours as mine is a Ed30 box on my gttdi

I've recently picked one up and it is the 'slimmer' version, probably no more than 4" in height  :happy2:

Also if you can pick one of the older ones up cheap you could consider having it powder coated like I did so it doesn't stand out as much.

Matto, the black powder coating is a great idea, really does hide it. Im now tempted with a BCS from the group buy !!
