Scarlett's Exhaust

Well I'm closing in on the break in period for Scarlett "Coop".
She's been loads and loads of fun!

But what's this...
Something shiny and new underneath her...



It can't be....It must be the infamous:
Alta R56 Cat Back Exhaust!
http://www.altaminiperformance.com/p...atback-Exhaust



I headed up to Wilsonville to have the good folks of Grand Prix Imports do the install of her new cat back exhaust. After drolling on some of the beautiful exotics they had in the showroom it was time to take her back home on a nice long drive! The new exhaust has a nice tone to it, nothing nasty or overly annoying or what Adam likes to refer to as "Blatty".

This is a top notch product and I feel a huge difference in my car's performance. It's like she can breath freely now! Thanks again Adam!!! Looks like you found an Alta fan for life!

I also like to thank Grand Prix Imports (http://www.gpimports.com/) for doing a snazzy install job. They were very professional, clean garage (cleanest I've ever laid foot in), and were nice enough to give me a PDX Mini Club discount.

Got any sound clips? The clips on the Alta website are pretty lame.

Hot damn! That would be excellent. I am really considering going with an Alta system, but just can't tell if I like the sound or not.

Also, do you notice any drone at all? Especially on the highway?

Drone? Like a constent loud humming sound? If that is what you are asking then no I don't. From the interior of the car you barely hear the "thunder" but when you get on it you will it chime in now and then. It really is hard to describe. I'll get back to you on the vids Have to figure out how to upload the content and such.

youtube my friend, youtube. Can't wait to here the clip(s)!


That is very good news that there is no drone. VERY happy about that. I think I might have to pick one up.
