   came to me on a x- sprint car that has a milltek sport cat system.
   
   looks like one to me as i had one in 8v a few years back.
   
   think its stainless but the top has gone dark and not shiney. the bottom is better but the welds have surface rust. dont think its steel tho....
   
   any ideas what it is...
   
   it has no milltek badge or stamp on it.
   
   stew

   ive got a one on my 8v mate, youll be able to tell its a miltek as they have smaller flanges then normal, someones welded a diff one onto mine to make it fit other exhausts, been poorly done i might add but ive never got round to sorting it lol

   Not made any more stew stopped middle of last year. Money wise I'd aim close to £200 but as a guide I sold mine with about 200miles on for £180 last yeat

   as above, depends really what your after as it will appeal to ppl but not many ppl have much atm lol, so it really depends whether you wanna wait for a good price tbh

   milltek has a peice welded on it with part no's, some of them dont say milltek on the peice welded to the product, but has a serial no. thats how you will tell its a milltek, all my milltek stuff have part no's welded to it
   
   I was trying for the milltek mani, but they dont make them for the saxo no more because no one was buying them (probly because of the price!) - so if you want them made today, you have to do a batch order of i.e 10+

    you may have issues fitting a miltek centre to a janspeed mani, as above miltek use smaller flanges on most things iirc

    yeah, as ive herd, but from what ive herd the milltek manifold was the same bore as other items, so it could appeal to be used on any system, its just the center pipes and backboxes that use a different bore i was told (it bigger than my supersprint center pipe im selling) but we shall see if it fits when it comes i guess, if it dont fit - bodge it! lol

    ive got janspeed 4-2-1 on me mk2 vts,sounds mint!! only bad thing is that it sits too lower, and my vts is only 40mm al round,if i was 60mm or more it would scrape all the time..............
