--- Quote from: Greeners on October 10, 2012, 05:13:03 pm ---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:

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:

If your down at JKM in October feel free to come for a spin, you will NOT hear a boomy exhaust (this is one of the many reasons I did not buy a Milltek) :happy2:

I won't be unfortunately, but I've always wanted to compare my Blueflame to a BCS

When someone who owns a Milltek has a pop at the BCS (Because it' not a "Milltek" (a well known brand) and is not on a BTCC car and therefore is inferior, your gonna get replies defending the product you have spent your hard earned on, it will be interesting to see how many folks complain about their BCS after 12 months compared to quotes on the Milltek issues that "Some" have suffered.

....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.
I gotta say that I laughed out loud at TC's witty posts in this thread :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

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:
