I'm also becoming interested in this APR RSC system, as if it really does what it says on the box, then it could be the perfect option. Less drone and noise thatn OEM when cruising, but with what sounds to be a crisp, sharp, tasty note when on the throttle.

Have anyone on here got taken the APR plunge yet? I have one of their carbon intake pipes and it is excellent quality, so I suspect the same from their exhaust systems...

Unfortunately I have no mods yet.

Ringa, what mods do you have and what effect have they made in performance/sound?

I'd really like to be able to hear the supercharger but unfortunately I get very little. Anyway of making this heard?

The APR exhaust certainly looks the nads, they do like it on audizine but what with the milltek valved exhaust coming out in Jan and hopefully being around the same money as the apr, I'm going to wait for the milltek.

Right now I only have the APR carbon intake pipe (on standard airbox and filter), as it looks super cool, plus those monster Movit Ceramics. I did Bedford in the car the other week and it was awesome. Only an hour or so of wet in the morning, but the car was just so adjustable. Best tail slides were with suspension in Comfort and Stability Control completely off. Get up to four wheel drift speed, lift off and the back proper steps out, then back on the gas to hold it ate a small angle for a bit. Bloody good fun.

I'm really torn with the need for more sound though. I love the sharp rort when you blip the throttle - there's definitely a cracking engine note in there somewhere, but I am after quality if sound, not necessarily volume. To modify the car to a point that prevents you using facilities like Bedford is just crazy. With the prospects of blanket SPECS cameras country-wide and 40mph limits replacing previous National Speed Limits, we,re all screwed for enjoying the performance of our cars on the roads.

I need to hear an APR RSC I think!

Found a cheaper solution to the Supersprint x-pipe here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-63mm-Magn ... 0782381120. I think we need the 2.25in pipe which isn't listed.

A couple of spams over on azine have done this and it sounds good. This is the UK stockist for Magnaflow http://www.nemesisuk.com/indexperformance.html

Does anyone know a good exhaust fitter down south (near Brighton) ?
