I can't see a Milltek lasting 10 years / 100K+ miles though.  Thin walled pipe and cheapy welds don't tend to last well.

stainless???

Always had good experiences with Milltek on other cars, never struck me as feeling particularly cheap. That's been in comparison to mainly Japanese brands though which tend to be pretty flimsy!

There's stainless, and there's stainless  :smiley:

I had a Milltek on my old Corrado and the welds broke off in the key areas, the flexis were low quality and the pipes went brown and rusty within 2 years.  Not rust as in flakey mild steel rust, but it's just a low quality, thin walled stainless which is pretty cheap wholesale.....but they charge the public a fortune for it.

After that I imported a Borla stainless system from America and the quality difference was stark to say the least!

Complete waste of time swapping, unless you have a rubbish current options spec or unhappy with it.
