Hi Mini Fans,

see below link

Pls. comment and advise, because I want to order some sample from this company.

Regards,

paulhill,

Why are you ordering from this company? Are you trying to resell the exhaust? This appears to be wholesale company. I agree with the previous poster. The exhaust shown installed is the Alta Sportone exhaust, taken from their website. I don't think Alta would be too happy seeing this http://www.altaminiperformance.com/p...t/EXHAUST.html.

If you are buying this for personal use, I would say steer clear. They are based in Hong Kong, if you have any problems it may be hard to get fixed.

What attracted you to this company that many of the other reputable Mini exhaust makers didn't.

Hahahha, it's hilarious how different the pictures are. I guess some people just don't realize these things.. even if it's their business.

The pictures are different because the bottom pic is a cooper..... The top pics are Cooper S exhaust. They explain that in the captions. Still looks a bit dodgy to me.

Dr. Markie,

The top picture are the parts for a Cooper S. The bottom picture is a stolen picture of the Alta Sportone exhaust installed on a Cooper S. You can follow the link that I posted above to see the original picture.

My guess is the poster is from the place trying to sell these. First post; "Hi Mini Fans", etc.

Just speculation.
