Alta R56 S Turbo Inlet Hard Pipe?

Anybody got any info/input on Alta's new turbo inlet hard pipe for the R56? Currently running their silicone pipe and don't care for the lack of clearance with the overflow tank. At least it stays on, the OEM pipe wouldn't! The pics in their site show good clearance, but would like to hear from someone who's using one. Thanks - DW

I used it. It fit well. It's double O-ring sealed, and held in place with two set screws. I liked it, but put the factory piece back on when I installed the DoS intake. The extra flex piece on the facory one is good to have with the intake in the bulkhead panel.
