MILTEK
« on: October 07, 2010, 04:05:38 pm »
Am I alone when I say Im not impressed by some of there prodcuts?

Had a £400 system on a previous car, and it was worst thing I ever did. Sound was great, but that was it....

Joins - poor, blowing and blowing. Fit and alignment on a rear twin was not good. The end result, had to be re-cut and sealed to get it all fitting correctly and joins tacked to stop seperatation.

DId I just get a bad one?

Yes, was fitted by Miltek 7-12 times to be exact.

If you order a blueflame now you might just get it before 2012  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

Good luck because you'll need it!

 :popcornsoda:

Quite a few Milltek fans on here, and to be fair, I think they have tried to raise their game of late.

However a poor reputation is a hard one to lose, and there are lots of reports of poor quality Milltek's on the various forums.

My own experience was a 360 degree cracked weld on a mid pipe, had it welded properly by a friend and all was good for the next 3 years till I sold the car.

Milltek wins my vote. Excell in Aftersales which cannot be questioned.Even as stated early build quality issues.

Id still go to them regardless.

Alot of ST fordowners had issues with milteks, the downpipes would crack and the flexi joints would fall apart  :confused:, its one of the reasons i wont upgrade the exhaust, i hate it when things go wrong, it spoils the car for me

Mine first Miltek ws £390. Full system. Was on a sh*tron Saxo VTS. (Was fun when younger)

Joints went, OK for a month then blowing like a pron star.
Weight - kept braking links and also cracked the downpipe/manifold twice.

But wehen I worked, as I said Loved it.

And hats off to them, they always sent replacement clamps/parts within 48 hours!!!! Aftercare good, but all in all would have beeb cheaper form them to to custome re-make it by hand. lol

Them sending new parts is good, BUT it means more trips to a garage to get them re fitted etc etc, not for me im afraid
