Default Anyone here running the ADS with APR downpipes?

I plan on getting the APR Stage 2+ setup within the next month or so, but I would like to get the ADS on the car before then. Has anyone had any experience with such a setup? How is the fitment?

Thanks

Max

Default Very interesting question. It depends on where the flex joint is and how much bigger the pipes are

If the flex joint is forward of the stock location then it probably won't fit and if the pipes are 1/8 -1/4" lower than stock it won't fit without modification, but I have never seen the APR downpipes up close.

Default Yes we incorporate a flex joint where the system starts to travel to the rear end of the car.

This flex joint is different than the traditional mesh type. It works very well.

Happy Motoring

I have APR's downpipes and straight pipes along with the ADS. They fit without any problems

Default Rickster...

They are 18x8.5 BBS RXII with 235/35 Pilot Sports. They are not chrome (thank god), BBS calls them 'brilliant silver finish.' Kinda like a silver polish with a vibrant shine to it.

The ADS is treating my very nicely. Fantastic product! Thanks!
