reducing adapter wasn't sized properly for the 180Q adding an additional inch or so??? Or, the 180Q has a longer pipe coming off the catalytic than the 225?? But what the heck do I know??

When they make the cat pipe they stamp three tiny raised stops into the circumference of the pipe. These are there to aid installation on the production line and prevent the outer tubing of the exhaust sliding too far down the inner pipe (the cats). If you take a small hammer you can tap these raised areas flush so that you can slide the Milltek mid section pipe further onto the cat pipe. This will give you more movement towards the front of the car. If you aren't doing it already you should install the exhaust so that the rubber hangers are angled towards the front of the car rather than vertical, this is because due to the additional expansion of type 304 stainless in relation to mild steel the hangers will be pushed backwards as the system heats up. We normally set the tips about flush when cold, then after a good run they will protrude about 1.5". The other consideration is that the the mid section to tail box connection really does need some exhaust sealer applying before you slide the pipes together to ensure that you don't get any leaks.
Hope this helps!
