How many units do you reckon milltek sell a year? Put that into perspective of many have failed and i would harbour at a guess that it would be a very small percentage. We all love bigging up the negatives about certain companies when things go wrong with the odd item. I'd love to see how a bcs system looks in 2-3 years. Not knocking them at all but i think the majority of stainless that comes into the country nowadays is sh*te anyways. Anyway i haven't seen a too bad a looking milltek. Had one on mine that was handed down to me that had been on a car 2-3 years, wasn't so bad, a bit of brick acid over it before fitting and it cleaned up nicely.
I have seen TfsiMikes BCS after six months on the car and it looks like new.
The Milltek on the other hand
IMHO I would say the BCS is better made, I believe I have the authority to say that.
OK so I have also 'heard' that the Milltek DP is made in China. Nothing wrong with stuff made in China as long as its as good as we can make it as they are selling it for premium money.
Yes and surface rust on SS denotes a high content of iron in the mix. I.e cheap.
Again it is OK to sell stuff with a 'made in uk' badge even if made in china as I think as long as it is designed, checked, packed, finished etc etc no problem. Percentages I believe.
This had turned into a Milltek bash, wrongly. Probably my fault, apologies.
