Every exhaust can leak. It's how the company acts to help their customers. Milltek has excellent customer service, and for a company based in England, they are very proactive of replacing parts that need to be replaced.
No issues here and have had the system for over a year. For the few who have had issues with leaks/cracks, Milltek have replaced their parts, free of charge. I cannot speak personally about Perrin, but you can't go wrong with either exhaust. |

Really really disapointed with milltek quality.
First I had the weld on my center box that craked Now it's the weld of the back box who are craking. What is next ???? Front pipe? Over pipe? I'm in France Milltek Uk propose me to send back my center pipe so they can investigate after I sent them the picture of the crack. This would have made me at least a week or two without my car plus I had to pay for the freight wich will cost much more than get it weld. So I got it weld. So I will never buy again a milltek product again as when you spend such money you don't want to have your car off the road because of shit weld's. Now I have to remove the back box and get it weld I might take off the front pipe and overpipe to get every weld redone. |

Does anyone know how if the sound will be any good with the non resonated Secondary Cat back?, almost half the price of the primary cat back.

Thanks love the sound, but thats the primary catback. If i had the cash, i would go with that. The primary is £1,042.78 and the secondary £580.37. Dont realy care about weight savings or HP gains, just want the sound
Does anyone have experience with the secondary catback? |

All I can add is that I have the resonated primary cat back, i.e. has the overpipe. I fitted the secondary cat delete pipe. The note is just right, no drone when cruising, a deep sound, it sounds like a well tuned 2.5 litre 4 cyl.

Yea I agree with you, secondary cat sounds a little more metallic than primary which is deeper

Is it worth getting this exhaust, even though there seems to be several quality issues? I was thinking Corsa until I found Milltek.
