APR Presents the Turbo Muffler Delete!

[Fernflex]

I think the gains will be so small you wont even notice and it would be so difficult to get a reading that could really show gains from the muffler delete unless you maybe do 10 dynos runs with the muffler and 10 without the muffler to see the average. I could do the testing .

Dynos in Puerto Rico are cheap and I have free acces to one or two.

The gains will be very small, especially compared to an ECU upgrade and or intake upgrade.

What customers have reported back to us thus far is as follows:

- Sound - Heard a difference in turbo noise
- Response - Felt quicker in response when getting on the throttle
- Power - No reports of a noticeable difference

Now I'm sure a lot of people are like me where the air flow of our turboed cars matter a lot. The better flow of air all around the turbo system, the happier the car is. $150 isn't anything for a nice easy flow.

I have to agree. I like happy cars and for 150.00, it makes sense.

Arin,

My APR dealer told me you guys will have a down pipe in the next 2 months, is this true?

Have someone weld the slits shut then get in there with a grinder and smooth it out. Probably $20 plus half an hours of time to make its smooth on the inside. No way is that little peice worth $150. Unless of course the APR version has a larger inside diameter.

That seems difficult to do but we're all for the spirit of DIY mods! Try it out and post up the results.

We haven't told our dealers anything yet, so take that with a grain of salt.

I believe you guys are very close to releasing Stage 2 now that unitronic already did? Can't imagine any other reason that's not stocking parts first at this point! haha

[Arin@APR]

We don't plan our schedule around our competitors. Stage 2 will simply come with our downpipe release.

 

[blackcat1]

Yes, it should be the other way around! hehe

Do you guys plan on having a 104 RON map? It's the perfect map for the fuel we have here, we found it odd that the GTI has only a 108 map instead. 108 makes things go a bit wrong, 104 is the perfect sweet spot!

We'll need to add this to our lineup. We've only tuned race fuel maps on Sunoco GT260 Plus.

Seems that every question I post youre there to moan. Either you want to date me or you're a very bored person. If you don't want to help me, just don't comment anything and we all keep it cool and nice around here. Thank you...

I found it strange since for the 2nd gen Jetta engines APR provide an 104 RON map!
