ALTA Turbo Back sound clips

It's a little too loud for me inside the car. Drone like crazy on the freeway :(

Good stuff Maaij
I'm sure this will help those who are the fence with getting the Alta Turbo Back Exhaust.

How is the gain in power? Can you feel a difference? Sounds good!

It is a low frequency resonance that can make highway driving really uncomfortable. I had a Magnaflow on my '02 MCS for a while but couldn't take the drone. This is the first I have heard of drone on the Alta exhaust. Has anyone had drone problems with the cat-back?

Weird, mine doesn't drone on the highway -- I take it out of sport mode though which might account for it.

Mine doesn't drone either. Wodner why on the Dutch model it does. I have heard nothing but praise from clients that have them installed, (plus I drive "Howard" multi times each week on the freeway withe no issues.) I suppose if you did a lot of up hill driving or similar at load at 'x' RPM it could occur, but seems odd that he is the only person.

Candyman: thanks for your comments as well.

Maaij: Let us know wussup! Also how is your friends enjoying their kits?

Sounds great. I can see installing one of these will reduce my fuel mileage significantly....

I know what ya mean, but actually with the intake and exhaust I still average the same mileage(31mpg) as I did when my car was stock, and that's getting on it many times.

Is it just me, or does it look like tips move in the first video? I have no idea if this happens normally or not, never paid attention to it before.

Wow, just WOW!!! Thanks so much Maaij for the top notch sound clips!!!

That is EXACTLY what I have been looking for, and now my mind is made up. I'm going with Alta stuff over the JCW stage 1 kit! I can't believe how great that sounds!

Should be able to get my order in after my Q3 bonus comes in October!
