How long has he had it, and are the pipes showing any corrosion?
joesgti:
its brand new, he went to awesome and got the apr stg2, apr cooler, apr hpfp, and some other apr stuff i think. all in the same day :drool:
it was very loud last week thow, and when following him on friday. only when pressing on thow :smiley:

Im pretty sure that the item on fleabay isnt the new RSC cat back - they would be promoting this for sure.
Maybe the new RSC system tackles this issue of corrosion that you speak of T_T. Dont know though! By corrosion do you mean the discolouring on the pipes in the fleabay picture to a more copper colour??? My stock system that came off had this all over, plus some black patches - which the guy who fitted it told me were areas where the exhaust was blowing.
I'll take a look at my APR after its been on a few months and report back as to if theres any corrosion.
Milltek have been plagued with their fair share of exhaust tip quality problems recently...
Teutonic_Tamer:
Those images looked more like rust rather than simple discolouration - which is a definate no-no for a "stainless steel" system.
Wasn't Millteks issues due to carbon fouling from the sooty FSI engines? Glad I have black tips on the RS, though it didn't stop a complete sooty rear end when I was forced to use some shyte Jet normal unleaded! :ashamed:

It isn't the RSC version its the regular 1 that was fitted to their demo, its the equivilant to the non-resonated Milltek, can't remember what APR call it but the resonated version is called stealth I think, Its is a bit loud for my liking, I had their car for a few days early on in the year, but it may be to some peoples taste
