Looking to put a Alta downpipe back exhaust on my 2012 jcw hatch any reviews of it (not any S specs) help would be appreciated thanks

 

I've been running my full setup (turbo back) on my '10 JCW for 3 years now and love it.

I drove with the downpipe back exhaust for a week before installing my new downpipe. All in all, it goes great as long as you have a tune, otherwise I don't see the point in the exhaust.

 

Have you tried running it on Stage 3 linear with your set up? It's a lot of fun and interestingly enough, mine ran quieter compared to Stage 2. Regardless ALTA is like Bernie Sanders campaign - deep and profound! Ha!

A++++ on the 3" AR Design! Might sell mine soon - gone catless!

 

Can I safely run stage 3? I didn't upgrade my FMIC, hot side, etc.

 

AP changes the tuning dynamics of the car but ALL the prerequisites must be satisfied first. Your "to do list" has to be fully installed in order to safely operate your car.

The AP peeps are adamant about this topic and even came with a disclaimer similar to "at your own risk" if any of the prerequisites were not followed.

Stage 3 pushed really hard and loved it... made me upgrade suspension prematurely so I can stay flat on the ground.
