Default Miltek exhaust system lifetime warranty ?????

For anyone in the know guys

Do the miltek systems come with a lifetime warranty,as the one on my hatch sti has started rusting through near where the tail pipes join the rear silencer

I know the tsl systems have a good warranty,but not really sure on the miltek jobbies as it was already fitted to my car when purchased

Cheers Marcus

Lifetime warranty i believe only applys to the original person who purchased the exhaust. That said well worth a phone call. Might be worth going via a milltek supplier as i know when a friend had a claim on his he had to take his car to a milltek distributer to have the fault confirmed. Good luck

As above, lifetime warranties generally only apply to the original buyer, once sold on then expire, worth a try though as you have nothing to loose.

That is very bad, looks like joints are welded with mild steel wire, not good for the price they go for, glad I didn't go for one now

No

I'm not overly impressed at all,I didn't buy it as it came with the car,but the weld has gone like this within 2 years maximum going by the cars age

If I ever buy a new system for the hatch sti,I will stick with what I know,hopefully keith at revolution can get some joy from milltek for me
