Audi TT MK1 3" Downpipe Install Decat Miltek

This video tackles the installation on a Miltek 3" Downpipe with decat. This is mated to a Miltek 2.75" Cat back system.
I see so many people making a massive deal out of this job, when it really doesn't need to be! also, if you follow this guide, and the cat studs and nuts don't want to come undone it can actually be removed whole if you've got the car jacked up high enough.
Don't be scared to remove the subframe, trust me it, it's the easiest way to remove the standard downpipe.
Also the dog bone mount bolts snapping is pretty common, so don't be surprised if this happens to you.
Enjoy!

Your videos have helped me figure out how to do some needed repairs on my mk1 tt. I appreciate it. This particular video has helped me decide that my stock down pipe is just fine. Looks like a pain!

I absolutely hated doing this install 😅 took me ages! Lots of swears and a bad back later and its done! Cheers for the detailed videos, huge help mate

Thanks for the video, I studied it many times over the past several weeks and just got my downpipe out on my LHD car!! Did not need to disconnect prop shaft.

Feck that’s the firstvtime I’ve seen a 225 exhaust(I do own one for weeks) Looks well made thing. Possibly has acute bends for a reason, in the sense the head is designed so it still performs no matter what the exhaust flows.

I put the ebay one on this weekend for 150 quid fits nice after a bit of hammering on the heat shield 🤷‍♂️😅 haven't changed the dog mount Bush though so will definitely change that after this 👍 good video.

Good work dood. I did this on my 225 LHD without pulling the subframe! At least i was working on a lift, but i still hated every moment of it.

@BWSTT 3 жыл бұрын

You get a bit more manouvering room on the LHD because of the rack and the master cylinder, you also then get room to have a massive expansion section on the DP of you want!

I managed to do this without removing the subframe. You gotta cut the old one at the flex part by removing the driver side wheel (rhd)

@greck9992 4 жыл бұрын

I fitted powerflex bushes to my dogbone a few years ago and it definitely stopped wheel hop in first and second but there is definitely some vibration on tickover or pulling away with low revs. I've heard the superpro bushes are better for this. Have you experienced this in the past, bud.

hi again..lovjng your videos. i still have not got to the bottom of the idle issue on my sisters car but thanks for the advice, she has another problem now also where the car overheats and a high temp warning on computer. I think the fans don't kick in but do when heater is on. Heaters dont get really hot just stay cool even on max temp settings, and water seems to hold any idea's help please. or is there way you could help fix these issues if you allow that and are not too far, pay you as a mechanic? and a drink too as you seem very good at what you do. Thanks

Me gustaría preguntarte algo, hace una semana compré un downpipe para mí Audi TT Mk3 y el instalador me ha dicho que debo reprogramar el ordenador ya que el coche dará fallo por la falta de catalizador, el problema es que el coche está en garantía y he leído en el contrato que perdería la garantía si alguna pieza del software o motor es manipulado, que puedo hacer? Es malo hacer esa programación para instalar el downpipe? Sufriré alguna avería por eso? Te agradecería tu ayuda gracias!!!

Does fitting a larger diameter exhaust pipe really increase bhp? And by how may bhp if so?

@BWSTT 4 жыл бұрын

It reduces restriction so that the turbo can operate more efficiently. I can't give you exact numbers, it's not quite as simple as that, as it's all about a good combination of modifications to get a combined improvement. It's also about moving the power curve to the left for more responsiveness. In short, it's worth it.

@byoungsunmin7449 4 жыл бұрын

BWS TT some people say that decat and wider pipe decreases the back pressure. Would fitting decat and 3” all the way through cause any mechanical issue in the long term? Plus, Milltek 3” down pipe, decat pipe, cat back exhaust are very dear. I would say 1k altogether if you’re lucky to find the cheapest. Any recommendation as to where to get them from? Thank you

@BWSTT 4 жыл бұрын

@@byoungsunmin7449 on a turbo car you want as little back pressure as possible, the turbo itself keep back pressure fine for the engine, but past that the best exhaust is no exhaust. As for costs of parts, I really couldn't advise, usually best to find second hand systems if cost is an issue

@byoungsunmin7449 4 жыл бұрын

BWS TT are you a mechanic? Where are you based? I would like to get someone to fit these on mine rather than doing it myself, it looks too much work although doable. My 225 has been remapped to 270, so should work well with 3” exhaust system. Looking to eventually forge the BAM engine and fit a hybrid turbo on(I’ve already bought one with billet wheels which claim to give you 300bhp)

@BWSTT 4 жыл бұрын

You can keep the subframe on but youll need to use a sawzall to chop the original into a few pieces. If you wand to take the subframe off you can get the downpipe and cats out together if it's jacked high enough. You can also keep the bulkhead heat shield on if you've got the right tools, but since a lot of people struggle I've laid it out in a fool proof way. Lots of people start the process and try and avoid the steps, and then struggle, this way makes it easiest

@UKViperGaming 4 жыл бұрын

BWS TT Thanks a lot for your reply I appreciate it, one thing I never understood though was how come u can get the new pipe in but can’t get old pipe down without cutting it, I’m very weary to take the subframe off, no idea why just am

@BWSTT 4 жыл бұрын

The 3" is a single section, the standard one splits into 2 2" pipes, meaning it can't pass the prop or subframe whole. The subframe removal is very simple, and makes this job a lot easier
