Title: Bcs exhaust
Post by: Betty jnr on October 10, 2012, 10:35:36 am
Yesterday I took delivery of my new bcs sport exhaust with heat wrapped de-cat nd 80mm twin tips. I couldn't wait to get it on so I went straight over to me mates garage after work :P
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2Ftazebeme.jpg&hash=57402e6299cfd0df2f687c0068e5403f471ef326)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2F4ebe7a7u.jpg&hash=5f23ecbcfaad4143c2b50728406ce9f432bd9195)
It is a lovely piece of kit as you can see

Once we pulled old exhaust off time for the shiney one :D (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2F5ehevyja.jpg&hash=6221ae1643a17fb8485d2cbec5d940228218e3c6)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2Fyme2ahyh.jpg&hash=3596bf1f146b351f3b1a19a910cc2f671d4825f2)(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2F3a2uqury.jpg&hash=478d7e1cc7f7f2ab4eecaab8512e49d2198ce519)
All on and tightened up :D

Pic of her on the ramp (https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.tapatalk.com%2Fd%2F12%2F10%2F10%2Fyme8e6y6.jpg&hash=97177ad1aa21768e515dfe001c7dd36ef3e9fb92)

So it was time to turn the key.......
Instantly a deep sounding idle that's so nice i am already excited. My mate takes it out the unit and floors it, the noise is unbelievable !!!! Strange thing though my mpg has dropped and I can't think why ;)
Can't thank the bcs boys enough great system, great service and great lads.

I am not "Mistaking" anyone as a Milltek fanboy   :confused:, you chose Milltek, and I chose BCS  :evilgrin:, we BOTH made our choice and I PAID for mine  :happy2:


Had to dig out my receipts anyway as my accounts are being sent to my accountant at end of month/.

It still puzzles me as to why BCS customers feel the need to be........

A. So protective over a system they have had fitted for barley twelve months (but are happy to criticise the longevity/build quality of others).

B. Seem so anti every other brand of exhaust

C. Feel the need to shout about their latest purchase to anyone prepared to listen (or not).

 :confused:

Please note, the above are genuine questions and in no way am I looking to goad any fanbois into a state of frenzy over an exhaust system.....  :indifferent:

Post by: Tfsi_Mike on October 10, 2012, 05:28:07 pm
I feel the length of time I had my Miltek for (off the top of my head 4 years) is long enough to form an opinion on its longetivity.  I've had my BCS half that time but often quote the condition of Carlos that I know was fitted sometime before mine and having seen it recently it's still pristine.

I have strong negative feelings towards the miltek I had and my experiences with it.

I get excited sharing ALL my mods and purchases, I feel lucky to still have my car in this climate and after a substantial loss of allowances & financial perks and am really happy with what I've managed to achieve this year with the car and like to share it.
I hope I don't come across as shouting about my purchases anymore than the next guy.

I have never said a bad word about any exhaust other than the milltek, which as others have categorically stated has it's issues  :happy2:

Just cos its new (relatively) on the scene. I imagine there were equal number of Milltek threads when they first brought out their MK5 GTI system.

I honestly dont think there is need for either parties to get there knickers in a twist over this. If people are happy with brand A/B/C then i don't see an issue with them telling us about the product involved. If i bought a milltek TBE and put a post up saying that its amazing and the best thing since sliced bread, would that be a problem? (given that there are 10,000 other posts [admittedly 9,586 of those are Robins] about milltek exhausts?)

Maybe nige was/is a bit forward in pushing his new exhaust company, but please don't chastise other that are happy with his products.


Im lucky because I have to make do with the OEM exhaust system. The OEM TBE system is actually surprisingly good value for money when you compare it to BCS/APR/Milltek system. It doesnt suffer from manufacturing defects either so you can sleep easy at night knowing that your OEM GTI TBE will last you 100,000miles+ without needing someone to weld it back up. Also, a lot of people have commented on the sound of my OEM exhaust and asked my if i have changed it. I also opted for the matt black exhaust tips, this can be achieved FOC by never cleaning them.... this looks really 'scene' and will trick lots of folk into thinking its a diesel, coupled with a TDI badge on the back and youll have the ultimate 'f*** you' rear, for booting it away from annoying clowns in audis and bmws.

Please contact you local VW showroom for prices and more information on this fantastic product.


Peace!   :drinking:

....Well, as I heard my name mentioned (by Hedge) I thought it would be rude not to join in.

Not everyone who is a Milltek fanboy (and yes I am) has a pop at BCS or other rivals. In fact I have posted many many times that, although I have never owned a BCS or APR exhaust, they are very worthy of equal consideration.

I do understand people wanting to share their enthusiasm for a particular product though.

As Greeners says, these endless debates are boring and are never resolved anyway.

You probably can see similarities between them, but I am sure if Nige came along and told us all the differences between them it would be clear they were different (I know the Downpipes are different as I remember bing told that, other than that I can't comment on the blueflame, same as I dont comment on APR/Scorpion/Jetex/magnex etc), having seen/heard a Milltek (and had one in my hands) and chose a BCS I feel I can comment on them both  :happy2:

I only "Have a pop" about Milltek when a newbie comes along and a current member recommends them outright (Whether he owns one or not) without actuall considering any of the other offerings

I do understand people wanting to share their enthusiasm for a particular product though.

Absolutely

OP - exhaust looks great!

Everyone else - your arguing over an exhaust! Go look in the mirror and have a word with yourself!

At the end of the day this is a car forum! The perfect place to show off your new mod, even if it has been posted several times before!

....Are you really suggesting that folks don't help each other much on this forum? - If you look you'll read so much hard evidence to the contrary, monsieur.

We help each other, we enthuse about our cars and everything related to them, we help each other with non car related subjects too, we laugh, we banter, and we occasionally bitch and some throw their toys out the pram.

I started typing the same response Robin.  Met some absolutely top blokes and have seen & know people on here go above and beyond & out of their way to help each other out.  Even when barely knowing the other party

I agree if you look around you'll see it happening Tommy  :happy2:

I just re read what i wrote and its not exactly what i meant !! :ashamed:

Ive found people on here and other VAG forums extremly helpful and the wealth of knowledge available is invaluble!! What i meant was, it just seems like theres alot more bitching going on over here. Alot of it is in jest i admit, but sometimes its just pointless !!

As as for the french comment  :fighting:


So i apologise if i may have offended anyone !! It wasnt meant that way !!

No offence taken, Tommy  :drinking: - You are entitled to your own opinions about the forum anyway.

I've never come across a car enthusiast forum (they are invariably populated by blokes) which doesn't have all the same ingredients of banter etc which are found here. We've got to be able to socialise and have a laugh to be a true community. If we were only allowed to stick rigidly on topic and never banter it would be extremely dull, don't you agree?

But perhaps we have been off-topic long enough!....   BCS Exhausts....

It still puzzles me as to why BCS customers feel the need to be........

A. So protective over a system they have had fitted for barley twelve months (but are happy to criticise the longevity/build quality of others).

B. Seem so anti every other brand of exhaust

C. Feel the need to shout about their latest purchase to anyone prepared to listen (or not).

 :confused:

Please note, the above are genuine questions and in no way am I looking to goad any fanbois into a state of frenzy over an exhaust system.....  :indifferent:

Its not just BCS customers Nath... plenty of other folk harp on about product ??? having had little or no experience of other version available!!

I hear you Rich, but there are far more BCS threads knocking around currently than anything else.

And Mike, stop being a Brown Nose!!  :laugh:  :wink: Seriously, not pointing any fingers buddy, just a generalisation at the current climate and flavour of the forum currently.


Just cos its new (relatively) on the scene. I imagine there were equal number of Milltek threads when they first brought out their MK5 GTI system.

I honestly dont think there is need for either parties to get there knickers in a twist over this. If people are happy with brand A/B/C then i don't see an issue with them telling us about the product involved. If i bought a milltek TBE and put a post up saying that its amazing and the best thing since sliced bread, would that be a problem? (given that there are 10,000 other posts [admittedly 9,586 of those are Robins] about milltek exhausts?)

Maybe nige was/is a bit forward in pushing his new exhaust company, but please don't chastise other that are happy with his products.


Im lucky because I have to make do with the OEM exhaust system. The OEM TBE system is actually surprisingly good value for money when you compare it to BCS/APR/Milltek system. It doesnt suffer from manufacturing defects either so you can sleep easy at night knowing that your OEM GTI TBE will last you 100,000miles+ without needing someone to weld it back up. Also, a lot of people have commented on the sound of my OEM exhaust and asked my if i have changed it. I also opted for the matt black exhaust tips, this can be achieved FOC by never cleaning them.... this looks really 'scene' and will trick lots of folk into thinking its a diesel, coupled with a TDI badge on the back and youll have the ultimate 'f*** you' rear, for booting it away from annoying clowns in audis and bmws.

Please contact you local VW showroom for prices and more information on this fantastic product.


Peace!   :drinking:

^^^^ i dont hate anything anyone does or buys on here. As i always say, each to their own. Nothing wrong with doing things differently. If  something fuks up on my car because a product is sh*te, i'll say its sh*te. I have used milltek stuff on my last 3 cars that have spanned over 12 years and never had any problems what so ever. I like their stuff so carry on using it. I have never slagged off bcs as i have never seen or heard one. I'm glad there is another decent exhaust manufacturer out there, maybe milltek have been resting on their laurels for aome time now and are most definately upping their game. I'm not going to fall out with anyone on here just because one person has a product different to me. Good luck to you guys who have the bcs exhaust. I just did the yawn thing as it is getting a little boring now though. As said i didn't have to read it but then i dont have to read a lot of the sh*te that is posted on here, but i do. Nothing better to do  :signLOL: You dont find things out if you dont.  :happy2:

I agree with the 3 posts above. Well sadly we have had a few of these threads lately, were the friendly forum atmosphere has turned into a school playground.

I honestly have no interest in exhausts for a Mk5 from any tuner since i sold mine, and if i did have one to chose i would probably plump for BCS.

This being said i do have an interest in the feel and the spirit of this forum and how we want it to come across to it's members.

Basically we have lots of new enthusiastic guys who are happy with there new BSC product and want to tell fellow members about it. And who could blame them we all do that.  :happy2: But we have one member who at the same time starts bad mouthing other products and stating he sticks up for the underdog and just wants other members to know about this, Oh and he always feels he has to have the last word.  :indifferent:

Well this is why we are getting the school ground threads popping up over the BCS products and as it is my job to keep the feel of the forum friendly and respectful so with this in mind,  if any BCS/Milltek threads takes a turn in the direction of the playground, sadly they will be locked or removed.  :smiley:
We have had enough of them lately and we are getting to many report to a moderator emails because of it.

As you were guys and gals.  :drinking:
