It certainly is a completely different sound, I think it sounds :evilgrin:, totally different than milltek, more like blueflame but higher pitched some how

nice  :congrats:
stealth or RSC , whilst I was in drooling last week.
stealth was likened to an M3 E46 metallic sound
RSC deeper and quiet at cruising (its big selling point)

If I could afford it it would be RSC  :happy2: (and under car mirrors cos its gorgeous  :evilgrin:)

The more I heard and read about the APR RSC exhaust I think it probably the best system (excluding it's high price tag) if you want an exhaust that quiet at cruising speeds but comes alive the pressing on.  :evilgrin:

Given the choice again I am sure I wouldn't have a Milltek on the car now  :sad1:

Off all the things that APR do, I believe that only 2 of their products are the best in the world.  One being their HPFP and the other being the RSC exhaust system.

Hopefully yes...depends on holiday arrangements.

Will be there on Thursday for sure for fitment and stage 2 mapping.

Must say this forum has a very bad influence on one's self control !

Must stop!

I've always liked their mapping TBH too and was pleasantly surprised by VWR verdict last time I visited recently.

Hopefully see you Sunday, i would like to take you out in mine if we get chance as i would like your opinion on my clubsport set up.  They perform amazingly but i would like a second opinion on the noise when going over bumps and pot holes.  :happy2::happy2:

I like their mapping too as well (World best again, but on K03.)I just think they need to look at thier K04 map again.  I think as the USA market don't get the K04 as default, I think they havn't spent as much time (money) on development.

They've recently revised it again I am led to believe....I'm looking forward to their stage 2 mapping....I spoke to Awesome on Friday as Jim and Mark went to the US last week to arrange more technical input for the UK market especially on forums. I believe Keith from APR will be adding tech advice to the forums.

I found this new pump code super smooth...as did VWR.
I will try and get Jim to RR before and after if time allows.

No probs...I've been tinkering with settings (rebound) on my car today...tried softer on rear....very comfortable for passenger...now trying hard rebound on rear....turns in very sharp....will tightemed up fronts.....runs very flat....wondering if I need ARB's! :happy2:

Definately don't need WALK with adjustable camber....diff will be very useful though especially with Dunlop Inters on track it should be ballistic.
