Lost one of my Milltek exhaust tips

[bigandclever]

Well that’s annoying. One of my Milltek exhaust tips has disappeared.

What do I need to know before trying to order a replacement? It’s going to be awkward getting the car in the air to check any model info on the exhaust itself. I assume there are some key measurements I could take. Of course, I can visually match what I have with what I order but so far I haven’t found an exact match (combination of material, brushed or not, size of logo, etc).

On a Mk5 golf gti and exhaust is at least 7 years old, if that helps.
TIA!

I'm sure someone will come along to make a joke involving the situation and your name.

Could you contact Milltek? They're based in Derby.

I’m just being lazy and getting PH to do my googling

Well, they're in Derby so get on their website and call them!

I perhaps should’ve been clearer, my fault. I have spoken to them but without a model number they say their hands are tied. The id plate I can see on the main exhaust is essentially unreadable and there are no marks on the (welded) exhaust tips. So without getting it up on a ramp it’s difficult to identify. A 6 hour round trip to them doesn’t particularly appeal either.

What’s also annoying is the opposite side outer tip has got a bloody great crack through it at the weld. The inner two appear fine. Don’t really want to spend however many hundred pounds on replacing it all, but if I have to …

I'd probably just see what exhaust tips Halfords have and replace the current two with that.

Would Miltek be able to identify it from a picture?

Possibly, if I can get it up in a ramp and take a decent one. I’ve sent them what I have anyway, from scrabbling about on the floor, will see what transpires.

ETA this is what the near side looks like today .. I assume something similar happened to the driver side and it let go.
