Blueflame ftw!!

I wish The s3 was knocking around when you were up in the unit. It sounds bonkers when you want it too but then on the motorway it's quiet as a mouse!

I am starting to think it's the future but need to hear one on the Mk6 as with the different engine the stock Mk6 system is louder than the Mk5 anyway  :happy2:

^^^ They have already done one for the Mk6  :happy2:

Money (within reason) isn't the issue, it the quality of the system and the sound that's important  :smiley:

i know UK is Milltek country, but try to meet up with a forum member having the APR and take a ride, best get it on a lift and see for yourself the quality of, the compare to Milltek and then make your decision.
i would say in this case, you get what you pay for  :drinking:

Been down the Milltek and APR road with exhausts. The APR quality and tech involved is superb IMO with a superb noise when you want and not at all boomy in the cabin.

I suspect you maybe able to strike up a deal with Awesome on a deal for the MK6 item because I suspect you maybe one of the first MK6's with their system. Give a test in the first instance you'll be impressed!

Mine was on an Edition 30 with stage 2 mapping and I loved every minute as did the missus.
Pearl Black Edition 30 3 Door. DSG. (3rd Edition 30)
Maybe on the too do list: APR Stage 2+, KW Clubsports, Brakes, Diff.
