I PM'ed Adam about it, and he said a month or so ago that it was still under development.

I understand they like quality control and performance, but short of a full race exhaust where materials, bends, and diameters are of the utmost importance, i'm confused as to why it's taken so long to fab up some slightly bigger piping to hook up to their downpipe and add some nice sounding mufflers to it!

A local exhaust shop asked me to be the guinea pig and then offer us Clubman S owners kits based off my car but I wanted to see the Alta product before even thinking about my car being a test subject!

I think with the obvious simplicity of the clubman muffler setup (clamps on RIGHT before the muffler) custom one-off exhausts may be the best bet if you want to avoid some of the high prices. Mufflers don't cost that much, and the piping work wouldn't be very demanding considering how little would be require. Most exhaust shops could fab you up a setup pretty quickly.
