    Aus vs US Spec APR Products

    Hi All,

    With the great AUD/ USD exchange rate at the moment (and also having contacts in the US) I was looking into getting some APR items - specifically the Carbonio Stg I + II and the TBE.

    I have had a look and they have the same part numbers which would suggest that they are identical, but does anyone know if there are ANY differences between the products we get in Aust vs the US?

    Cheers,

    Pete

    No difference, but you may have to consider import duty and GST etc..

    I've heard reports of APR Aus trying to stop/block exports of APR products from the US. So you may have to double check with the online store whether they ship to Australia.

    Cheers,

    Import duty will not be aplicable if the purchase price is under AU$1000.

    From memory the Stage 2 piping for the carbonio is more for looks than performance as the real gains are achieved from the revised ram style intake (Stage 1)

    Interesting to note, I'll be sure to tell Corey_R!

    I really love the topic, but there are already threads that discus that.
