Pros:
Everything is very well developed and tested!
Cons:
sometimes sooo good they're always on back-order :P
I have a few things from Alta on my R56 MCS, Turboback exhaust, turbo inlet hose, boost tubes, short throw shifter, rear sway bar, rear endlinks and front innercooler air diverter... i can honestly say i have absolutely NO complaints what so ever about any of their products and am also pleased to say that with just my turboback and boost tubes as power mods (turbo inlet hose doesn't do much with stock intake :P) i was able to dust an R56 JCW Factory car ( probably a new owner cuz seemed a lil uncertain in shifting) from a dig... granted the JCW R56 is a glorious car! i'm not bashing them at all... i'm just saying that Alta Power Mods WORK! with fantastic fit and finish and you seriously do get what you pay for! couldn't be happier wtih what i have!

I have had an Alta Panel Filter in the past but now have a CAI. My Stubby looks great, and I just ordered hoses the other day and have already received them.

Pros:
Customer Service
Cons:
Product Design
They have amazing customer service always ready to help and assist you with whatever you need. However the quality of design on their products is subpar compared to other companies. They FMIC for the R56 they make does not fit properly and the CAI they have pushes a tube behind it out to the point of not being reconnected. It's just frustrating knowing they could be perfect at what they do and it feels as though they may cut some corners.

Pros:
Great website, Shiny products
Cons:
Poor Customer Service & Product Design
I purchased a number of items from Alta during their big get together Feb 2008 and have since De-Alta'd my R56 Mini. I spent over half a year trying to return my defective Turbo-back exhaust system because it has a sub-par catalyst in the downpipe & throws check engine lights (p0420). Don't let the lack of other negative reviews fool you, I was threatened with no parts/no rma/no service if I posted on NAM about this problem. In the end they would only RMA the downpipe and stuck me with the cat-back portion. At our local dyno day, not only did my R56 w/ the turbo-back not make the claimed power, but it produced 12hp less than another R56 with only a Militek cat-back. I did gain 2whp when I removed their "free-flowing" panel filter. Their website has since been updated to warn customers that they're SOL if the downpipe produces a CEL. Altas warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Pros:
17" Konig Feathers
Cons:
Poor customer service by ALTA
Please see my posts on the 17" Konig Feathers from ALTA. Terrible customer service and they took 2 weeks to give me my money back. AND they had the nerve to have ME pay for the initial shipping of incorrect wheels with no rings. I'm a FORMER customer.
