Ahh yes i am always quite reserved and give companies opportunities to fix it......... or in APR's case i cant say much at all as its Beta software.
So to be fully transparent:
- Exhaust sounds great and gives good power but....
- Insane amount of resonance/vibrating at 2500rpm-3000rpm
- Drones from 3000rpm to idle when decelerating
- Quite boomy at 1500rpm when cruising
This may just be my BCS downpipe and software causing these issues, their exhaust is designed for their downpipe or stock downpipe.
How different could a downpipe possible be?
My miltek non res gets very loud after about 3k revs which is starting to drive me insane sl im looking at getting a resonated section although milltek charge £260 odd for the pleasure!
I've got non res, non valved and catless Milltek turbo back exhaust and it doesn't seem too loud to me inside the car. I still need to disable the fake sound with VCDS because I can hear the mixture of the fake sound and the exhaust.

Just an update.
I have discovered this only happens when hot, so its possible there is a leak once the pipes expand.... will check it out this saturday.

The exhaust is now for sale guys, decided to go back to stock after chatting with the APR guys.
Find it in the classifieds

Just a bit too racey for me, attracted attention too much etc
I am now back to stock, its very quiet but i find it suits me better, i will instead invest the money in a intercooler

Yep, had it welded on properly so no cold start exhaust leaks.
Also a ton of black solid crud came out of the stock exhaust.... Might be too much boost/flow for the stock exhaust to handle so losing some of the baffling!

Lost some of the response from going back to the stock cat back and the top end feels less savage... but it could just be the sound.
I found a restriction at the point it reduced from down pipe to standard exhaust , but that might have been the decat
