More Audi TT 225 QC with APR 3" Turbo-back exhaust

[zlee415]

I don't really like the sound. I'm less into the fart cannon sound, and more into the refined sport sound. I'd prefer the stock sound. I like a non refined sound say on vehicles like my truck, but not on a sporty coupe.

[artbking1]

It's an Audi...Noo it's a helicopter!

[Drizzzlez]

LOL that thing sounds like shit!

[Smoogly5]

i have the same exact car in silver with that same exhaust, makes the car sounds great!

[APRVideos]

Just to clarify this is a race system that does not represent the sound of all other APR exhaust systems. Essentially this is a wide open, 3 inch, unrestricted design that yields 35hp and 30ft-lbs of torque designed for weekend racers that just want as much power as possible. Sound was never a consideration during the design. Also, as others have pointed, exhaust tone at cold start is significantly different due to catalyst heating routines built into the ECU.

i hav a milltek cat-bak on mine and it sounbds the bollocks. just a little more rumble,

[Sebastian7224]

shit-same noice hawe my old firsta with no back box exhaust

[ciphyl]

I was checking out the APR website and was thinking about this exhaust but... it just doesn't improve the sound at all. The 3 inch piping will definitely be an improvement but the sound could be more refined. Maybe their new setup will fix the issue like you speculate.

[overdrivejk]

cold start.... isn't it

[rodgazinya]

Not to be rude but that sound like shit. You sound like a damn SRT4. Is that supposed to be cool? We both know its not so go get a muffler.

[marcus1701]

bet the drone wakes up neighbors in the morning

[chevyhs]

sounds like the srt4 exhaust

[bmewillow1985]

I wouldn't call this car a ricer, Audi makes alot better cars then honda, what civic comes with a stock turbo,225hp and AWD? NONE. I think it sounds good. and shit if you can afford it get a Audi RS4 or S4, def not ricers.

[XxnoitcelferxX]

Sounds decent at high rpms but I don't like the tone at idle. Kinda dissapointing, doesn't this turbo back system cost like 2k?

[phatcashenglish]

My APR system has no mufflers and no exhaust. Their new design adds a resonator in the mid-pipe and 2 small mufflers just before each tip. It probably sounds a little more refined with the new design.

[XxnoitcelferxX]

Oh ok I see : ) Well that explains the sound alot better.

take care

[BoostedVtec]

You people have no idea what your talking about. That turbo-back sounds sick.

[chrisgti16v]

Hey hank, honk at ma when you go down dong past the bayou, just packin' up the MAC ready to haul ass!

[m5bbmmww]

sound really bad

[Colin13377]

sweet tractor exhaust. u buy that from john deer?

[vatusai]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slickhunter6]

yea see thats the problem...my model is a FWD 180 so I dont know...

[slickhunter6]

I might...i have a 180 tt and i dont know if it will fit my car...but for some reason i just love this sound so im trying to buy one myself...

[phatcashenglish]

It should fit 180 Quattro. Will not fit the Front-Trak model.

[vwaudi914]

will it fit a 02 a4 1.8T/Q?

[sodamnmad]

i have this exhaust and its waaaaayyyy too loud. i think i spoke to that same chris at apr and he mentioned that it wasn't meant for a street car. the guy at e-code tuning said it wasn't for a race car either. either way, its too loud. they tried adding a resonator and it didn't help too much. anyone in the market for an apr 3" turbo-back exhaust, slightly used, slightly modified?

[COT51E]

sounds like a massy fergy tractor

[zak7711]

Sounds like a crappy ricer.. or a truck maybe

[vwaudi914]

so what you are saying is that a ricer and a truck sound alike?

[zak7711]

ricers with their 3" or 4" wide open mufflers can sound like anything -a truck, a boat- but not a sports car.

[funfuckerhaha]

what do you think it's going to sound like. it's not a v8 pale. come on now it sound ok i like other exhaust better but damn come on it's 3in exhaust it for power.

[topmop]

i'm crapping myself - if my APR 3" sounds like this i'm gonna cry.

[BeefyOsito]

I talked to Chris at APR and he listened to this clip and said that their exhaust doesn't sound like this at all. To his knowledge APR has never sold a 3" system for the TT that did not include a muffler.

[phatcashenglish]

I was suprised as well when I first received the exhaust. But when I called I was told this was the "new design and the pics are not updated on the website". I have also seen two other different 3" turbo-back exhaust pics from APR and they have mufflers. So it seems that the design changes frequently. My system was shipped directly from their manufacturer to me so maybe APR never saw it.

[marcus1701]

it sounds like a diesel....the APR 2.5" catback is much better sounding although I still feel it's a little too loud for a TT

[Blindranger]

I hate to say it but the APR setup makes the TT sound like a tractor.

[kidda74]

totally put me off changing the exhaust on my TT!

[Hornz]

is that non resonated?

[phatcashenglish]

There are no resonators. Just a 3" downpipe to high-flow cat. Then a straight 3" pipe going to a "Y" in the back. Tips are 4" There are no resonators and no mufflers. I believe the updated newer APR systems include resonators.

[SupraGav]

good one!

[igottafc]

boost creep?

[phatcashenglish]

Why do you ask? I assume it is because of the video footage of my boost gauge. Keep in mind that I was modulating the throttle during that run as opposed to just flooring it. However I do believe I have a boost spiking problem. My spike is approx 5psi over the set/hold level. Simply put, I spike at 24-25 psi...and then it falls back and holds at 19-20 psi. I would prefer less spike but maintain the same 20 psi hold.

get a boost controller
