Charles M Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Tricky one....but, it is a freebie, so maybe it is best to put it on and then cross that bridge when/if it gets to it. marshy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and In the mean time keep an eye out for a good deal on something else rather than rush into something. 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samx300 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 This was my Milltek backbox on a 7R. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Shockingly poor quality really.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you not ask for a 3 year guarantee on the new part they have supplied?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robp Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I've had my R for 3 years and been interested in different mods from the start following the forums in UK and US and facebook groups. From the "keyboard warrior" knowledge that's given me I'd personally sell it whilst its new and get a BCS System. Done 13k at stage 2 on mine and its still like new underneath and sounds awesome. Also if your happy with the downpipe set up why not go back to a stock backbox, they're dirt cheap, don't make less power and better built. nige bcs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshGolf-er Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 So got the new back box fitted today, wasn’t too bad except that it started raining out of nowhere as soon as the exhaust was off, typical! The welds do seem to have been “beefed up” a bit and one of the exhaust pipes wasn’t round so was a pain to get the final tip to fit but I’m just glad that the old one is off because it was really sounding horrendous.

I was told that they have run a golf r with a pops and bangs remap and revised the back box since mine was installed which hopefully means this one should last on a normal car no problem, whether it does or not we will have to wait and see. I did think about getting a standard exhaust but the current option was quicker and I think the standard one would be too quiet for me after having a non res catback since I’ve bought it.

I hope the exhaust just lasts now tbh regardless of guarantee, I wasn’t the original owner of the exhaust and if you look at their terms and conditions the warranty is only applicable to them which was a surprise to me and something to be aware of. I’ll definitely be keeping my eye out if any good deals on any valved non res cat back comes along I’ll be keen, but at the minute I do like the way the milltek looks with black oval tips and haven’t seen anything similar and I won’t be doing anything else until the weather is atleast a bit better. Cheers for all your replies lads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
