Question about ALTA turbo downpipe

Heres the question..... If the ALTA Cat is built seamlessly into the downpipe; wouldnt that cause some serious hassle when you need to replace it? Is there even a replacement cat available yet? What about the second cat in the catBack, is there a replacement part for that available yet? What type of warranty comes with this exhaust. Has anyone else thought about this?

Thought about it, then figured that a CAT lasts for 120-240 miles, and with Alta's customer service, I figured if anything happened, they would make it right.

hello,

The Cat has a warranty from the Cat MFGR but still through us.

Matty125, our down pipe is actually legal replacement cats for both front and rear in states that do not require CARB.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Think John covered this. But just like the OEM cats, they too are welded to the plumbing. So same thing different day.

Let me know how I can help in anyway further!

Ya I know factorys are welded too, However they do not shine as nice as ALTAs and Id hate to cut into them. Thanks for great answers, I was curious because mine was already ordered. 5yr, 50 is good!!
