Default The sound of APR exhaust? Sound Clips?

Hi everyone. I know that this has been discussed before, but I was curious as to how one would describe the sound of an APR exhaust. Does it make the 1.8t sound loud or obnoxious at all? How does it sound in comparison to the milltek system? Are there any sound clips of it on the internet? Thanks for the input.

I've heard them side-by-side, very similar, not obnoxious.

Default milltek clips from my car

Likely will need the divx codec if you don't have it to view the video, won't need it to listen tho.

Note this following video is the car on race tires, that's what the loud hum is.

Default I love the sound of my APR

Its got a nice "burble" at and just above idle, is almost silent at cruise, but sings beautifully when you get on it. I think its one of the best sounding exhausts around if you want a good sound without being annoying or obnoxious. No "raspiness" or fart can sound. Very "european"

Default my APR is slightly softer in tone and sound level, but very close. it comes down to 2.5" v 2.75"

we're those RA-1 tires? damn those are annoying.
