Any help appreciated here guys.
I've just been to look at a 95 nogaro blue RS2 this week to run along my S2.
It had a catback milltek but the pipes at the back don't look anything like the ones Igrees links to above.
They were the same as the pipes on my S2 Coupes catback Milltek, that being smooth inward rolled with a noise baffling inside each pipe. Difference on this RS2 to my S2 pipes, was that the tailpipe closest to the side of the car was a bit shorter so it stepped back a bit and followed the lines of the rear bumper. I'm sure Jamo's Milltek is like this too.

Any idea's why? Do Milltek offer different options of tailpipe?.
I remember Graham's S2 got it's Milltek new just before he and the car shipped off to Oz, and the tailpipes were the same as the ones in Igrees link above.

Sorry for interupting, but Milltek do do different tailpipes it seems.
Only thing is, can you choose?

[EDITED TO INCLUDE PIC]

These are mine, the RS2 on Wednesday had exactly this, but the one closest was stepped back (shorter)

Talking to Miltek on the phone, they only do one type of tailpipe with no options. 76.2mm twin jet with a slight slash cut and staggered as you say to suit the rear bumper. however talking to the guys on here it seems this might not be the case and they come as on Igrees car above? Seems Milltek don't spend much time checking info on their website and from the suppliers matches to what they actually deliver. I'm about to order the Catback on monday but fear by the time it is delivered it will be too late for you info wise.

Ahaaa though, a convert to le'wagon!

Thanks for that, seems Milltek are a little vague on tailpipes.

Convert? well I'll always love the Coupe over the Avant, can't help that, but an RS2 has always been a dream too.
Didn't want to mess around with the S2 and make it RS2 spec, so I'll have to have both.

Thanks again,
Jas..

Like your thinking

I have seen that style of Milltek tailpipe before - pretty sure it was on Mikki's car actually - that was maybe 4 years ago. OMG !!!!

Hi chaps,

I'm also too in the market for a Milltek within the next month.

I have found http://www.roadrunnermotorsport.co.uk/ and they sell Millteks for well, the cheapest i can find!
Prices include VAT and they have quoted me £15 for delivery for a cat-back so i would imagine it would be the same delivery price for the downpipe too.

Sherv can QC beat this ?


Anyone fancy a group buy ?

very nice guy ive bought loads of stuff off him even a 12000 pound quattro :mischeif: well recomended

Milltek arrived and fitted

Right, I've had my H&R Springs and Milltek Catback fitted as you can see.





Milltek exhaust note is fantastic and great to have some feedback from the exhaust when driving. Love it! However as it stands it does stick out slightly too far but more importantly sits too low for my liking. The guy at the garage said he can cut it to move it back but he didn't think there was room to play to lift it with out it then knocking??!! The actual height of the exhaust is as perhaps it should be as the original tailpipes sit quite low and not up in the mouth of the bumper.

H&R springs are spot on too. I love the fact the wheels/tyres now fill the arches (note that the car sits a little lower than in pic, it's on a slope) and the ride hardness is fine for me. I guess being used to my porker the springs don't feel too harsh at all. And it handles better for sure!

All in all happy Dan!

yep looking good there, I would try getting some smaller exhaust rubbers as that should drag it up a bit (certainly did on my non miltech s/s exhaust) The ones with the chain in them should ensure they dont sag either. Search on the forum for exhaust rubber and you should find something. They cam from Aelred.

are your tailpipes still the same plain pipe and not rolled Jamo?

Mine are the early slash cut, they rip your shins if you don't remember they are there!


@ Jas11n, you are correct, apparently the early batch had the slash cut and then it changed to the roll.

[sherv]

thanks David, I did notice when i popped down that the rubber nearest the rear of the car was like a figure of 8 and the bracket sat in the bottom of it. Perhaps if it was pulled to the top one it might raise it 10mm/15mm?

[s2driveruk]

yeah for a few heat cyles then it would rip through...BTDT. You need to order the special chain versions which are a bu**er to get on as they don't stretch but one in place they wont sag and hold it nice and firm....

[Error404]

excuse my nievity, but why the enourmous cost for the Miltek cat assemby?
What is so special about the S2 cat(s) that costs so much? Most sports cats i've seen for various other cars are between £150-£200. Are there two cats in the S2?
Are there decats available?
