I won't go into this too much as it will just go round in circle's.

Cat's do wear out though no matter who make's them  :wink:

If i remember rightly though, there was a member of uk-mkivs.net who had a problem with his exhaust, think the baffle's fell out inside and milltek didn't want to know!!

Will see if i can dig out the thread if i can find it.

There not baffles mate, there little cell's of (usually) platinum which can burn out and block up.

Just for reference this is a C+P from milltek FAQ's on there website:

Aftersales Care

Q.   Is my exhaust system covered by a guarantee or warranty?
A.   As long as you are the original purchaser, cat-back exhaust systems are covered by a lifetime anti-corrosion and manufacturing defect warranty and hi-flow sports catalysts and downpipes are covered by a 2 year or 80,000km warranty. We do not cover against any modifications made to our product after it has left our factory and also not for unusual use of the parts - for example, the use of Nitrous Oxide (NOS), damage caused by going over a speed bump too fast etc. Our warranties are offered on the understanding that the cars power maybe increased by up to 33% from it's original specification. Modifications made to increase the power beyond this will render the warranty void.

We pride ourselves on our after-sales support and customer service and will look into each case on an individual basis.

All warranty cases should be dealt with by the Milltek appointed distributor from whom you purchased the system. However, if you are dissatisfied with the service of your distributor in response to your claim, you can contact us directly by emailing us at techsupport@millteksport.com.

Simply because they are a wear and tear part. Can't see anyone offering lifetime warranty on a CAT.

No worries  :smiley: good to know anyway!

Just to add, the exhaust was sounding nice today, think it was a bit of a shock going from stock to full system. Still got a bit of a vibration through the drivers seat like a body massager  :smug: when pulling away i;e low rev's but will get them to look into that.

Seem's to pull better, but again hard to tell because of the noise and it's been a nice cool dry day today so air will be spot on.

Looking forward to getting the ko3s on and hopefully remove my existing remap and get the ko3s/AGU combo by R-tech!!!!
