Exhaust System

I want to change out my Exhaust system on my 2012 Mini Cooper S.
I have been looking at the Alta cat back system or the NM Engineering system.
Anyone have any experience with either system?
Thanks

Over the years, I have noted many exhaust systems. The NM is a very good build and fitment, I have seen it on a number of MINIs.

The Alta system costs less I think, folks like it, but I feel the NM is much better.

A few very high end exhaust systems are out there, I went with a small maker ED who no longer makes exhaust for internet sales, I found I did not like it. My final solution was a factory JCW exhaust with some custom 2.5 inch stainless pipe.

If I was to do it over, NM would be my choice or this one via Way.

between those 2 I would select the NM exhaust. But if you absolute best get the Akrapovic.

I added the VIP Custom DP-back exhaust to the Akrapovic DP and love it.

Have heard of a whistle problem with the NM exhaust. A beautiful system but check on status of this before buying!!!!
