Good Luck .

Your best off calling your local APR dealer and asking for best price..

There’s also an APR sports exhaust due out soon, see APR Facebook and Instagram pages.

I’ve decided against going the APR Downpipe route as already have a Milltek Non Res Exhaust in place, if going APR believe I’d need to mod the flanges

Yeah, was just hoping to get lucky with someone taking theirs back to stock. My plan is to have downpipes mated to the OEM Sports Exhuast for a happy medium noise in dynamic but still sensible in comfort. Just think the £2.5k+ price tag is a little ridiculous for what is essentially two short bits of pipe, I know there's all the development costs and stuff but when a RS3 downpipe is about £300 it just seems they're taking the piss.

have you already an APR Stage 1 car ?...if not you'll be looking at the price of the APR downpipes and a stage 2 APR won't you ?

£5k inc Vat for stage 2 and downpipes. I’m still toying between MRC/APR and Bevo to be honest

Does that include race plugs and fuel pump?

Nope, I'm sure I could get the plugs included for that price though.

Morning,

Can get your plugs from here

I’m after some of these too, so if by some miracle you find 2 sets then let me know.

Why not just go milltek Downpipes?..
Have different versions for different requirements and good prices available too

If I remember rightly the APR fit to the stock exhaust giving the best power gain without all the noise of an aftermarket exhaust. I live in a very residential street and am the first to leave every morning and I quite like most of my neighbors and don’t want to wake them up more than I already do.

I’m also not a fan of Milltek, they just look like a bit of a bolt on exhaust you’d expect to see on an 90’s Escort RS Turbo and frankly the build quality isn’t worth the price. I’d rather not do it than pay 3/4 of the price for a really nice setup. Or ideally have my cake and eat it and find some used parts not from Milltek.

Have you looked at the Supersprint offerings?

Here from a few garages that the fitment of Millteks aren't very good.

Milltek should fit onto the stock exhaust too - but as above heard reports that they don't fit very well. As with you, I live in a small village and after my last car (CLS63 AMG) which had Renntech downpipes and a Capristo system, essentially making it straight piped - caused such a commotion with neighbours calling the police and environmental agency!!!! (Yep, they're <beep>) I'm looking for something that can shout in dynamic but be almost OEM in comfort and especially on a cold start.

I've had a full Milltek system on 2 previous cars and it was a fantastic bit of kit but from what I've heard the APR bits are superior for the RS6. As I doubt I'll find any I'll probably be going over to Fourie fabrications to have some fabricated after hearing tonnes of positive reviews... doubt they'll be £2k+ either!

Seems like Denso IKH24 are recommended by APR for their stage 2 application, and at sub £10 a pop vs £30 for NGKs it seems like a steal for 8?
