Thanks for asking. As I mentioned in your PM where you asked the same question that I would go ahead and mount the PNP with the parts that you do have, then set it to Map O for a bit. (O is the UniChip Map I is the ALTA Map you requested.) Either one should be a-ok!

Also, the dual tip is on B/O for a bit in one of the colors Stealth I think. So if you want to switch to the Oval to get it sooner, let us know.

Thanks again for the business and the patience! You will love it!

Don't know whether anyone has posted pictures of the Alta "Stealth" dual tip installed, so here are a few on my Astro Black MCS. Really looks great and sounds great, too. Bought it through Coast to Coast. Thanks, Cliff.

Thank you too, Adam. This morning was my first highway commute with it and I really enjoyed the sound. Very nice, only slightly louder than OEM cruising, but when I stepped on it, it gave me and those around me a nice loud growl on up through each gear. Feels like there is a noticeable added kick, too.

Thanks for your business and I'm glad you are pleased with the results. Looks great on the astro black. Who wants to polish their exhaust every wash anyway?

Adam@alta,

i am checking with NA motoring for international ordering, mine is a UK right hand drive model, any differences with the parts for UK model? i saw that must use Alta downpipe in your site, why can't i just cut the pipe just like the US model? any harm or issue if not changing the downpipe at the same time? i talked to the dealer and they said that error will be shown if changed to any performance cat...isn't it true?

can you share some idea here? or PM me...

in the realome page of the exhaust, RealOEM.com Home => Select another car => EXHAUST SYSTEM => CATALYTIC CONVERTER/FRONT SILENCER - there are actually 2 pipes listed, isn't is one for UK and one for US?? I have chosed UK\RHD while doing the search....

Thanks for asking! Good news bad news. The exhaust WILL fit REALLY will on the EU models. The only difference is on the EU model they replaced what we have as a secondary catalyst with a resonator. Your resonator is in a slightly different position that makes the included coupler difficult to install. It can be done and there are a ton of people on NAM that have done it successfully. Worst case a local muffler shop may have to trim a bit fo pipe for you, but that is it!

Let me know if I can help further!

You can likely do it yourself. Trying to find the photos sent to me by another client overseas that would help here. Let me try my work computer later today!

Well, it's been raining for 24 hrs and my exhaust tips really are dirty today! I don't think the polished tips showed the dirt this way. Of course, I've learned that's true of anything finished in black! So I will certainly be polishing the stealth tips this weekend! Seems like they are getting a bit louder too, already. I'll have to go underneath just to make sure everything is still tight!
