APR Exhaust/Downpipe for MK6 GTI

**Finance_Analyst** · 21-12-2011, 01:10 PM

Looking at an exhaust - essentially want a better sound (as I will never get that oh so exxxy shrek of the R32)

is the APR one a good one? or other branks like Miltek better?

What have all of you done?

go to exhaust shop, cut out resonator, enjoy more sound for less $ and weight savings.

you could do a muffler delete but it gets pretty noisy (especially since the rear muffler on the GTI is the width of the car, the Tig's is only a small suitcase size one)

milltek is rather quiet.

apr is loud when pushed, but a bit tinny at low rpm. sounds like an empty can.

akrapovic is probably the loudest, deep sound at low rpm and loud angry sound at WOT.

I have a Milltek non res . It is quiet at cruising but has a nice tone under load . Having said that, it's not loud enough for me, so I've ordered the APR RSC. I know a guy who has one on his mk6 GTI and it looks and sounds awesome. Gunshot like DSG farts as well!
Akrapovic is supposed to be one of the best catback systems out there but very expensive .

Akrapovic drones like crazy

i have installed an apr downpipe only, and have titanium tips with the stock catback. i cant stand the drone and increased noise levels of catbacks, plus they add no extra power.
i like the serenity that a euro car has, its not as refined as a bmw or audi or benz, but its a lot more refined than a japanese car. so why ruin it with a loud and droney exhaust. im not 18 anymore
