Congrats! Which one is it? It looks a lot like the MTH header, but the pipe and flange behind the cat looks too long (comparatively).

Great mod. Alta V2.0 Header. One of the only performance mods on my GP. Sounds GREAT! Really brings the JCW exhaust to life. How a performance car should sound. It definitely added some power. No dyno numbers yet but from alta's research I think its 10hp in the upper band. Feels like more! Definitely reccomended.

Yes there is. On the Alta thread they said with a few mods they got 210 WHP, and they said they have a dyno for it, check it out.

I love the way it sounds. Its alittle louder when you are just putting around town, But when you Jump on it you can sure as heck tell its there. I'm not sure what i'm putting out HP and TQ wise but I can tell the difference.

Sure it was a lot of fun I would be more than happy to help you If you decide to do it.

If you're up and feel like it come by the shop tomorrow morning (6:30) before we leave for AUTOX
