Milltek Cat-Back Failure

I know there have been many failures of the Milltek headers. Has anyone (not using the headers) had a failure of the Milltek cat-back?

Thanks

I installed the Milltek cat-back in May '07. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I've put roughly 5,000 miles and 10 DE days on the car since the installation. I have noticed the exhaust is a little louder than it was when brand new, but the sound is still quite moderate compared to most of the competitiors' products.

BTW, I am using the oem header and I do not plan to replace it.

Thanks Jonathon. That is what I was looking for.

Looking for failure of Milltek cat-back for those using stock headers.

mdw,

I do not recall reading about any Milltek cat back failures, only header/catalytic converter failures.

The only catback I have read about failing was the AWE. It seems the early versions saw some welds fail inside the baffles causing vibrations, but I think that is behind them now and it is important to note that AWE has replaced any failed systems, no questions asked.

I've about 19,000 miles on the Milltek cat back (stock headers) with no issues.

Happy Camper

Bear in mind there are no 'cats' in the cat-back piece - cats are only fitted to the headers on the Milltek system. Hence there are no cats to fail in the rear piece.
