Patrico777 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi everyone so finally I have bought Miltek decat and catback used for good price for my st150 but my question is it does not have clamps or what they called so what do i need to buy and where for complete install? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 No clamps at all? The clamp between mid and back was a Milltek specific one, you could use a Mikalor style one from eBay but will need to measure the size...no-one knew the size when I was asking so I just left it blowing lol. I'm not sure what clamp they use for the cat on these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Need to measure the diameter of the pipe, so right across the end that you want to connect is easiest. I think it's about 2.5 inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 If the old one is standard it will need cutting to remove yeah. They fitted the exhaust before fitting the rear axle in the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yeah it should be a straight fit, especially as it's already been on another car. Some exhaust sealant/paste might be useful around the joints and remember you'll have to swap the lambda sensor over as well. Apart from that it's literally as simple as hanging it on the rubbers and tightening the clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
