My ALTA 3in CATBACK Then and NOW....FINALLY
SO finally after months of driving my exhaust sounds the way I always wanted it to sound....DEEP! I did not change anything, but it is definetly ALOT more deeper. It would be cool to have it like that out of the box.

Thats the million dollar question.
I dont have a clue abu. You know I doubt this has anything to do with it but I have a tendency to spray a lot of cold water up the hot exhaust, much like the old glass packs. I truily doubt this would have any bearing on sound, (concerning this system) but then again out of 20 or 30 exhausts Ive done....this is the first one that ever changed this much interms of sound.
If anyone is wondering, this is the R56 ALTA CATBACK, no Downpipe.

Yup I agree with this. I had an Eisenmann exhaust on my A4 and it was almost quieter than stock when I put it on. I was soooo mad, especially since it was a $1k exhaust. However, as time went on, it got much louder and sounded heavenly!

my magnaflow sounded great from the get go but it definitely does sound better after a couple thousand miles.
ive also noticed the exhaust sounds different after its all warmed up.

I am waiting for my Cat Back Exhaust from Alta (on back order), but it's going to be worth the wait. I really like the sound after it has some miles on it. By the way how many miles did you put on you MINI before you noticed the improved sound? I didn't spend the extra $ on the downpipe. I will eventually but for now that was enough $ spent.
