Just a quick question, has anyone tried to claim warranty for a Milltek exhaust?

Are you the original owner as this is with whom the lifetime warrant applies.

Sorry but you are misrepresenting my statement.
I'm not saying that Milltek (at their discretion) won't offer a warranty claim to someone other than the original purchaser but the legal warranty lies between Milltek and the original purchaser.

Sorry, what I meant was in certain cases Milltek may honour a warranty claim even when you are not the original purchaser, obviously this is at the discretion of Milltek like you said. From experience, their customer service is very good. :happy2:

I'm familiar with a friend getting a non res part in exchange for him welding his flange from turbo to downpipe as it had cracked.
To my knowledge Milltek is honoring their warranty in almost all the cases  :happy2:

Over the top mod list ;o)

Mine was honoured first time round no problem.
The second time round with some arm twisting  :fighting:

Because of it I'll stick to scorpion from now on. They are cheaper anyway

Disappointing tbh. Your supposedly paying a premium for a quality product so 2nd time round shouldn't happen provided its fitted properly  :surprised:
