System Overview

The factory exhaust system uses a complex array of hydroformed piping that has a maximum diameter of 2.75” and reduces below this in various areas. Various mufflers and resonators disrupt exhaust flow to tame sound levels. It’s not ideal.

APR's system uses all high quality materials such as T304 stainless steel, which is mandrel bent and TIG welded. All brackets are precise and high quality to resist sagging and make install simple. The system starts right at the factory catalysts. Cast inlets feed into the 3” piping, which extends all the way out of the 3” valved path. It’s as smooth and straight through as possible with only a single straight through muffler on each cylinder bank. During normal cruise, the valves close and switch to a dual 2.5” pipe to limit volume and drone.

Mufflers

The mufflers are responsible for tuning the exhaust note and do so without adding unnecessary restrictions to the system. Each unit features a straight-through perforated tube that’s tightly wrapped with stainless steel and fiberglass material. The mufflers have a beautiful brushed finish.

Exhaust Valves

APR's system features two valves that allow control of the volume of the system via the factory exhaust valve actuators. In doing so, the system can go from tame to aggressive instantly! Unlike pneumatic systems, and other common valves found in the market today, our system maintains identical OEM operation all the way down to the factory valve actuation angles. We cast the valve housings out of T304 stainless-steel. Internally the system uses CNC-machined T303 components and bronze bushings, which have stood up to our extreme torture testing. All necessary hardware is welded into place and is designed to combat heat and vibration for years to come.

Brackets

APR's brackets ensure a strong and precise fit, every time. With our design, you’ll never need to worry about the brackets sagging and losing their shape over time, or the post slipping out of the hangers. The brackets are rigid, exact in their position, fit snugly in place and are made to stand the test of time.

Casting, Tubing, and Welds

APR uses T304 stainless steel tubing throughout. We brush and de-burr all pipes, use mandrel bending techniques to ensure the pipes keep a constant diameter throughout, and use argon-back purged TIG welding for a strong and attractive weld. The downpipes use cast adapter for an ultra-smooth transition into the system.

Flex Section

APR uses a Factory-style flex section that’s fully sealed with a corrugated inner lining. This improves flow and resists issues that cause other styles to collapse, billow, and fail.

Clamps

APR's system uses Factory-style low-profile slip clamp. Our clamp selection allows the system to sit high in the exhaust. Each connection point is strategically placed to ensure the system has minimal opportunity to rotate during install or during years of heavy driving. There’s no cutting, welding, or glaring compatibility issues no matter the scenario. Just Plug and Play!

Compatibility

APR has designed their system to be 100% bolt-on. There’s no cutting, welding, or finagling to get the system to fit. It simply bolts on for use with the factory turbocharger catalyst pipes with all hardware included.
