Adam, how about opening a shop on the east coast. Hmm lets say in Miami and making a grand opening? I would love to attend, but Oregon is a tad bit too far.

Just got my ALTA cat-back installed and am loving it! Noticeable power gain up top, sweet look and a very nice sound.

Only about 30 miles on it right now, so I'm getting pretty strong fumes and the sound is a bit muted. Very excited to see how it 'opens up'.

Borla is nice, I've had Borla on 2 previous vehicles, but the ALTA sound is truly amazing. You won't regret it!

Plus the ALTA system is 3", the Borla is only 2.5". Not a huge deal if it's the only mod you make, but the more you do, the more you'll appreciate that extra 1/2 inch.

yeah, thats true. Im trying to find better clips of the alta catback without any other mods to get an idea of how it will sound but the only video i can find is on youtube with a DP as well... and im not very fond of the exhaust note in that video whereas the borla exhaust is plain music to my ears. I will still have to wait to see what the new tips look like though.

Please get some more vids of just the catback!! The clip was too short to get a real feel for how it will sound. Some nice revving action would be nice as well!
