APR Dump pipe stage 2 noise

[donweather]

APR's RSC exhausts achieve this perfectly - its the whole reason why i got it.

for an off the shelf solution - the one that fits on the mk5 jetta also fits the octavia. no modification required - bolt on.
part no. is FE100021.

great noise and farts

I assume this is for the Occy Sedan only and wouldn't fit the Wagon?

Not sure about it fitting the wagon - I haven't enquired.
I think it will, as I wouldn't have thought there is any difference in the under-body floor plan between the liftback & wagon.

Ok spoke to some APR dealers today and sounds like APR dump pipe with Stage 2 will give me exactly what I want as far as noise and performance goes. Little to no difference in noise when driven softly but when on step will be more throaty, no more than say the level of the Golf R.

Thanks for everyones input, just got to go and get it done now! Service is due now so after that is done off to APR!

Probably best to take it in stages anyway. Put the DP on and see how you like it. Then you can decide whether to put the cat-back section on if you still feel the need for a louder exhaust note.

Let the fun begin

I've got it on my wagon - not a lot of overlap in the join but just fits ok

downpipe only = CD100013 (mk5 gti, jetta - fits octavia rs)
catback only = CD100026 (mk5 jetta - fits octavia rs)
full exhaust = FE100021 (mk5 jetta - fits octavia rs)

interestingly, i only paid $2495 for mine. the goapr website now lists it as $2750.
prices must've gone up on the past 2-3 months!!

on the TSI........
apr stg 1 = around 145kw atw
apr stg 2 w/ stock cb = around <160kw atw
apr stg 2 with full intake and exhaust = around 165kw atw

bluefin stg 1 = around 143kw atw
bluefin stg 2 with full intake and exhaust = around 164kw atw

giac stg 1 = around 150kw atw
giac stg 2 with full intake and exhaust = around 165kw atw

stock is around 125kw atw.

Stage 1 feels how the car should have been from the factory. Very noticeable but a level of refinement

Stage 2 the car feels modified. It's got a bit more grunt, but i doubt in real terms its any quicker due to traction limitations and speed limits.

Stage 2+ is worth it just for the DSG farts though...

Stage I software give you higher peak numbers of 254 horsepower (189kw) and 297lb-ft (402nm) of torque,
but also gains of up to 61 horsepower (45kw) available at lower rpms

Stage II software gives 276 horsepower (205kw) and 314lb-ft (425nm) of torque

Stage I gives the mid range a significant improvement

While Stage II appears to be a small improvement, it's real world usability improvement is very significant.
The Stage I top end performance is worse than stock, it takes longer to rev out
Stage II cleans this up, the engine breaths and performs much better right to the red line (pulls hard)
The Stage II mid range torque boost occurs over a wider RPM range - awesome pulling power

If you don't drive your car car firmly/quickly (to red line) often then stage I will be fine
If you do enjoy enthusiastic driving to red line often, go directly to stage II

Hey man,
Do you or does anyone have timeslips or rough ideas of the 0-100 times for each of these progressions?

[Martin]

The published 0-100km/h times are for the hatchback running 100 octane fuel in europe
The wagon is +100kg~150kg and we have 98 octane fuel - in stock form it does not do 7.5 sec as marketed
Stage 1 does not get you below 7 seconds
Stage 2 with semi slicks can get you to 6.5~6.6 seconds (have to warm up the tires and make a good start)
