Alta R56 3in Catback Exhaust Mini Cooper S 07+

ALTA the first company world wide to offer a full 3" Catback exhaust for the new 2007 Mini Cooper S, AKA R56. With our vast experience with other turbocharged cars, we learned that bigger is better and that a 3" exhaust system for the new turbo Mini would make the most horsepower to the wheels.

In our initial testing, of our Catback exhaust, we found great solid gains of 10 Wheel HP and 10 ft-lbs of torque. While 10 WHP is very noticeable, the most noticeable thing you will find is that the turbo spools quicker providing roughly 200RPM quicker spool. This quicker spool means more low end power! Something you might not notice is sound. It is very important to us and everyone to make the exhaust make power, but noise/tone is the next thing people are concerned with. Our new 3" system is designed to be very very mellow and appease all types of customers. No loud "farty" Honda sounds here!

Features:

V-Bands
This item puts the ALTA exhaust in a completely different league compared to other Mini Cooper Exhausts. The High tech v-band is a perfect exhaust connection. They are designed to hold hundereds of pounds of pressure and do so with no gasket! This connection allows for a precise repeatable joint with the ability to rotate each joining connection. This allows for easy installation, and adjustments in the system.

3" 304SS tubing
304SS is known to be the standard in all high quality exhaust systems. 304SS provides high corrosion resistance, and excellent for extreme heat up to 1600 degrees. This is also what all of our Mufflers are made of inside and out. Where many other manufactures use 409SS (will rust over time and is what most OEMS use) the added expense of the 304SS is well worth the long lasting high polish, and long term durability.

Straight through 3" Mufflers
Another small but important feature of the muffler is they are true 3". Meaning they are 3" on the inside of the muffler, not necked down to something smaller to help keep the costs down as well as the sound down. These methods of building mufflers is not good for making power. Although common in the aftermarket industry, this is not a method we employ!
