Miltek 200cel HJS sport cats

It has arrived. Will be getting fitted next week.

Welding is a bit rough on the connecting pipe but the rest looks great.

That's a strange looking downpipe, you sure it's for a g80?
Here's a mad downpipe.

We offer Milltek but i don't see this product as a good buy.

I doubt this will fit but even if it does, they picked a bad design with the worse air flow possible. Why make these bends when you can design a smoother pipe?

The wielding does not look great either.

Yeah I wonder the same thing today, I looked at the shape vs what I’ve seen online and it looks odd.

Based on the weld quality I’m going to send this back, it’s ridiculous.

They have sent the wrong pipes, the one I have appears to be for the G87 M2

The product code for the M2 does not match the product code on the box that my pipes were delivered in so there has been a mistake somewhere down the line. And the welding is crap!

Very surprised by the design and welding of that downpipe. It doesn't even look remotely close to ours with all those bends.

It's M3,M4 specific fitment? Our downpipe fits the m3,m4 and m2.

Bro you’re getting ripped a new one for those pieces of shit pipes. There’s another brand that comes with high flow ones that don’t set a CEL and flow just as good if you’re looking to spend money. Not sure why you’d go Milltek, they sucked ass in the Audi world and they probably sucks for all other platforms too.

No, it was £2600 but even that’s not good for the quality we have here.

Even the flexi seems to be on the wrong pipe?!

I don’t get why anyone would pay 3x more for a product with less quality?

Just buy the 200 Cell MAD pipes and be done with it. Quality is tops, fitment is perfect, price is second to none.

Thats the order going back to Miltek.

I sent an email complaining about the quality 24hrs before sending it back and I’ve not even had a response, very poor.

Those MAD pipes are ace, that’s the route I’ll be going dow, thanks for that.
