Is milltek all its Cracked up to be?
« on: 06 June 2009, 19:14 »
Well after having my milltek fitted since December 2008 It has developed cracks in the rear section welds around where the tailpipes join the rear box. After 6 months somthing telling me they not very good and are poorly made . Went down to my local garage today and got it took off all the way to the turbo and hav had my old standard system put back on. Got a full refund even the fitting charge so my Hat comes off to the garage. I am totally stuck what to do now. Another Milltek Jetex Or a completey custom fit stainless exhaust with sports cat.

Get the Blueflame then!!

Had mine on nearly 3 years now, with no probs whatsoever!!

Sounds the same as a Milltek, but much better quality! :P

They're OEM suppliers for Lotus & Bentley, so they can't be that bad! ;)

after spending endless times under the car polishing my miltek i gotta say that the quality was good, all welds were nice and smooth and no birdsh!t welding.

did the garage check to make sure the exhaust system wasnt stressed by incorrect mounting?
