FS: Alta MCS Sportone Cat back exhaust

This system is 3 months old and in excellent condition.
Reason for selling: I buy many parts for testing purposes and then sell them.
I currently run this cat back on my car.
$450 (shipping; $20)

What does this system sound like? Is it loud? High or low pitched? I need something that is not loud and I want lowed pitched.

Thanks.

I embarked on a prolonged search and eventually ended up with the Remus exhaust for the MCS. The thread is here and another here for your listening pleasure.

I like it; I run one on my car. As far as numbers go I do not have any direct data on this system. I can only say that the performance was similar to that of the Borla Street. I like it because of its weight: 22 lb.

Question. Since this unit was used for testing, did the tips turn colors? I know Alta said something about chaning them so they would not turn gold anymore? We really need pictures!

All ss turns color when it gets hot.
