Milltek can be tucked up out of the way if you spend the time fitting it well.

I took the time and I haven't yet (touch wood!) ground it out on speed humps

Sadly I just didn't have the pleasure of time on my side - the clutch needed doing at the same time too!

I'll hang my head in shame!

Mikeyquattro....I've often thought about getting a Milltek, but I have clearance problems anyway with the stock system, the Milltek will surely be worse?

It'll be the same at best. But you're right Paul, it will most probably be worse!

If mine (with Milltek) grounds it seems to do it at the (standard) cats rather than at the back where it looks low.
Did it a lot when I first bought it but haven't grounded it for ages :)

Mine tends to ground iirc just before the cats, just when the front wheels go down the other side of poxy speed bumps.

i might
Sorry - I don't think you have a choice...there is no "might" about it!! How many of us have said we "might" or "I'll have a look" etc etc?
