Title: Milltek Warranty / Guarantee
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on June 18, 2011, 08:26:17 pm

Does anyone know if I have a claim because of a failed bracket on my downpipe?  Bought from TSR Performance in Bridgewater Mid 2008?

Found it.  No luck  :sad1:

Aftersales Care

Q.       Is my exhaust system covered by a guarantee or warranty?
A.       As long as you are the original purchaser, cat-back exhaust systems are covered by a lifetime anti-corrosion and manufacturing defect warranty and hi-flow sports catalysts and downpipes are covered by a 2 year or 80,000km warranty. We do not cover against any modifications made to our product after it has left our factory and also not for unusual use of the parts - for example, the use of Nitrous Oxide (NOS), damage caused by going over a speed bump too fast etc. Our warranties are offered on the understanding that the cars power maybe increased by up to 33% from it's original specification. Modifications made to increase the power beyond this will render the warranty void.

The bracket on the DP is a known weak point and has been revised so it may well be worth a call on Monday.

Milltek have up'd their game recently.  (this is according to others - I have no current or recent Milltek experience (18months))

Previous Millteks were poorly welded.
