Alta 3" turbo-back exhaust -- sold

Category: Drivetrain
Price: $900
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used

Alta 3" turbo back, catted downpipe, with a second resonator section. Installed and realized the older I get, the more I appreciate quiet. Definitely an awesome sound, but not something I can live with driving 3-4 hours between plants on a regular basis.

Recently purchased from a fellow member and installed with no problems. Ordered a few new v-band clamps which will go with the exhaust. Not looking to make anything off it, just what I paid for it and the clamps.

Currently installed on my 08 R56. If you happen to be local (Maryland, near the beach), I have a lift in my garage that you are welcome to use to do the install. Willing to ship at buyer's expense.

$900 cash, PP gift, or add fees.

Ordered an extra turbo-to-downpipe gasket to include as well.

I can throw it on the lift and have the exhaust off tonight if you want it this weekend. Shoot me a PM and we can work out details.

Remove factory exhaust heat shields - (10) 10mm bolts. Remove (3) 13mm bolts at the top of the downpipe. Disconnect O2 sensors. Remove mid plate, (6) 10mm bolts. Open v-band clamp at bottom of the downpipe. Remove exhaust, remove downpipe.

Transfer O2 sensors to the new downpipe, and install the new system in reverse order. Worst part is dealing with the heat shields -- with my big hands, it is tight in there and just time consuming.

Main difference is that the Alta is in a few segments with a v-band clamp at each connection point -- a little easier to manage installing/removing, but also requires some fiddling to get it lined up straight.

Willing to put a deal together for the whole 9 yards to go Stage 3 -- Alta 3" turbo back, FMIC, AEM intake, and unmarried AccessPort -- if someone wants the whole package.
