Hello!

I got a Milltek exhaust system (middle box, axle pipe and backbox) and went to fit it yesterday. I have a 1.9 tdi Leon FR and the exhaust was originally for a 1.8T. I rang Milltek before fitting who confirmed the exhaust would definitely fit as the chassis is the same, but I'd need a reducer pipe due to the change in bore size. I went to fit it yesterday and it generally went OK, the system is on but I have one problem....

I can't get enough clearance between the axle pipe and the actual axle itself, so basically the pipe is resting on the axle at the moment and vibrating like a beast when I drive it. Looking at the system, it needs to be shifted about an inch or so forward, but if I shift it the far forward I'm going to push the middle box to far out and it won't line up with the centre rest brackets.

Might need to give Milltek a ring tomorrow, unless anyone has any ideas!

Thanks
