Milltek has completed design and testing of their Quick-Fit catback for the new Feb. 2004 & later production cars. We will have the parts necessary to fit the current system perfectly here in the USA in the next 7-10 days. Future Milltek production will supply a system that will come with what you need to install the Milltek on any MCS, any year. -Pete, Stratmosphere

Pete,

Glad everything worked out with getting Spillers to Milltek on Sunday, it was fun helping something happen half way around the world. It is so nice to have a MINI community around the world willing to help each other out. Do you have a timeline on when I can expect delivery of my system? I hope it is soon!!!

As customer feedback, I would like to note to you that the factory
rubber hangers were too short on my MCS since i have the Aero-rear
bumper.

I used a generic rubber hanger that was approx 5mm longer at the
holes. fit perfectly there after. :smile:

FYI that picture isn't of the 2004 and later Milltek exhaust everyone, so don't be alarmed.... the Milltek 2004 and later exhaust will have the two inside hangers facing east/west, not north/south like the outside hangers.

kenchan, that's good feedback. Sounds like most aftermarket exhausts won't fit with that body kit unless you get custom rubber hangars. -Pete, Stratmosphere

Pete- that's probably true.

For those who have the aero kit, I used a generic hanger P/No 17219 at Autozone.
You need 4 (or 2 + washers to lower the outside brakets using stock hangers).
They were like $3 each. They call the rubber hangers "'rubber insulators."
