What's going on with APR?! Or am I just late to the party.

You're late to the party

 

[Davey Jones]

you're late. doesn't make it less shady.

Hey thanks for the post OP.
I had forgotten how APR is always sounding arrogant on the Vortex.
& now I know that those who speak loudest...blows hardest.

They are forever tarnished in my book...just like their low quality steel exhausts

There are plenty of defenders though which I find quite comical. I guess the are big enough and have the marketing dollars to seemingly make it disappear from peoples' memory...

Wow!! Just read this, not that I was going with APR anyway, but damnnnnn...that's pretty bad.

1) I wouldn't get an exhaust from APR
2) I don't think their engineering was the issue so I can assume that their products are still quality right?
3) if the former isn't true then what are solid companies to move forward with?
4) think this has anything to do with the delay of GTI products particularly the ECU flash for the 2016 model?

Thanks guys

It's kinda hard to read into it with all the other rubbish around those forums, but from what I gather, APR may or may not have ordered Corsa (the manufacturer of those sold "RSC" exhaust) to not include the technology due to cost. Either APR straight up lied (there is proof of that) about what their product actually is, or Corsa lied to APR and APR just never happened to do any QC on anything they shipped or slapped their name onto..

No, this doesn't have anything to do with that, they just haven't figured out how to crack them yet.

I agree. While I am thankful for APR and their commitment to development teasing things months before they are ready is causing major frustration.

UM figured it out already, APR doesn't have the inside line on the SIMOS ecu like they did with the Bosch, consequently they're having a tougher time cracking it.

Last I heard from UM in an email (2 weeks ago), is that have the fix for the R, but NOT for the GTI.

Wow read that article, that's some bs! Hope they're ready for some lawsuits, lol...

Why would they be ready for lawsuits? That stuff is well over a year old. The lawsuits would have come and gone. No one really knows what actually happened other than APR and Corsa. In any case the people at APR that made those decisions are long gone, they were bought out by a capital investment company.

Lol first I heard of it, don't get your feathers all ruffled
