So, has anybody tried one of these ?

They are 2.75" bore (so same as ED30 milltek) and the only difference I can see is the inlet into the backbox and maybe the route through it ?  I've had a 3" downpipe off these and it was very good quality.

thoughts ?

They look ok & are a good price but don't know anyone who has one.

They look identical to exhausts we used to buy in from a supplier in the UK, made in china. We stopped selling them due to failed baffles and crap quality stainless that often cracked, fit was OK but as usual, its a case of 'you get what you pay for'

Just dont expect the quality to be on par with the bigger high quality brands.

Even the big name exhausts can have cracks and failed baffles though, it's what the companies do as far as warranties go that is the real seller for me!

Ive had a milltek on my last car with a failed baffle and it was changed for free on warranty, the same has just recently happened to my ed30 system fitted on my golf! yeah, the cracked tip problem!  granted it's less than a year old (4 months to be precise!) and it's a feck on getting the old one off and having to exchange it but it's getting replaced with no quibbles.  hopefully the replacement will have a longer lifespan but i'd still buy milltek again, wonder if the manufacturer of the cheap systems uphold any warranty claims? :confused:
