Default apr v2 catback installed today @ qrs. woohoo!!!

<plug>
after patiently dealing with about 2months of my incessant "my catback in yet" emails to rob @ qrs .. they were finally able to obtain a v2 catback from apr. =)

i love it .. the guys at qrs(austin,tx) are great .. a little slow but still cool. nudge nudge =) (some bolts were fused .. caused a few problems.) i'll be going there to have my stage3 installed in the future. 2 thumbs up.

about the exhaust ...

i think the sound volumn is perfect. noticable idle .. and head turning acceleration/WOT. the exhaust tips are huge compared to the stockers.

something i noticed ..

cruising on the highway boosting approx -.25 thru -.35bar that there is absolutely no hum/drone or other sound that would indicate an aftermarket exhaust.

mild drone at other boost levels. during acceleration .. the rumble/growl volumn declines as rpms close ~4k .. quiets down and then picks up above ~4k rpms.

i'm currently running stock ecu. 150hp/155tq. waiting for ups to deliver my newly upgraded v3 apr. well ... it may have been the exhaust note but i believe there was a substantial increase in power. noticable ..

shrug.

either way .. very very pleased with the catback. very high quality hunka metal.
