jdm 02 bug milltek question.
hi,can anyone tell me if a milltek mssub123 high flow sports cat downpipe will fit the existing standard oe system on a 2002 jdm sti bug?
it looks as if it is a 2.75 bore rather that a 2.5 at the end that fits to centre section.it is a 1 piece downpipe. so will the oe 2.5 centre section taper enough to fit the doghnut gasket on the end of the downpipe? and is the length etc correct? milltek say it has to be fitted with the rest of the milltek system,but then they would say that...... any ideas? thanks. |
i dont even know if the mssub123 milltek is for a classic/newage!
ive also read a thread that a jdm bug is same fitment as a classic......really confused. |
I have milltek on mine and its 2.75 tapered down to 2.5 at the flange

Not sure, but would have thought so as standard is 2.5
I have full system on mine newage blob wrx as the piece of pipe that the dohnut ring sits over is 2.5? thanks for your help so far mate.:thumb: |

when you say it tapers down,do you mean the bore of the pipe gets smaller before the flange or does the bore stay at 2.75 but the flange makes 2.5?

Just done some checks but i may of been wrong. I think it 2.75 at the flanges as im sure it 2.75 all the way, and milltek say it must be fitted with milltek centre section

For the downpipe I think you will need the rest of the system from Miltek mate as I have a full turbo back system from Miltek and I can't change the backbox for something louder as it wont fit :(

If you get a flange spacer then it could fit to make up the measurement.

why? are you suggesting that the milltek is longer or shorter than the oe downpipe?
Try getting a flange 2.5 one and should make it fit the joint of milltek. I would not do this myself but imo thats the only way its gonna fit. Just find the rest of the milltek mate if i was you. Centre sections are quite cheap 60-70 poundish. Just downpipes and backboxes are a bit pricey:thumb: |

Not sure, but im presuming that you want it to fit a oe with a 2.5 flange from a 2.75 milltek flange. Not that i would do it myselft but trying to help resolve the issue for yourself.

ive measured the bore of the pipe which the douhnut gasket sits over and its 2.5" on the milltek.so as long as the milltek downpipe is the same length as the oe downpipe then surely it will fit?:)
So it must taper down at the flange. Good luck with fitment. |
