I guess the down pipe is shorter than it should be. So annoying and I was looking forward to hearing it

The Milltek 3'system that I had on the big had a longer downpipe than standard and was not comparable with other systems.

Well the downpipe is of a newage bug and the milltek center pipe and back box is for a newage bug, so not sure why it wont fit. Dam car. I might just sell the new exhaust from milltek if anyone is interested

How big is the gap between the downpipes and the mid section - you may need a cat bypass pipe!

Here is a pic of the New (newage) downpipe and old centere pipe, the new centre pipie is on the floor and you can see its short of meeting?

How come the new downpipe is the same lenght as the old one downpipe? (And yet the wrong lenght?) if the old center pipe meets up to the new downpipe, Im so confused because this new short centepipe is new and should be a direct replacement. Is it just that I have had the wrong down pipe twice?

Well looking at whats fitted to the car it looks like the centre pipe has been extended as i can see a weld on it or is that something else .
