Fitted my APR catback
« on: 23 December 2008, 17:10 »
Very impressed with it, Required the standard downpipe to be cut half an inch and then fitted nicely.

It is not as loud as i thought it would be with most people saying its to loud for every day use but as im still using the standard downpipe its just about right.

But im happy with it, will post a photo and maybe a video tomorrow.

Nice  :cool:

It will get louder though, once it cokes up and some of the baffle burns off the sound will mature

Sounds good....
not sure about cutting the standard downpipe tho  :undecided: I always like to have the ability to return to standard easily.
Hence I've kept the full standard exhaust in the garage loft.

Can get it past the wife - its the bank manager I'm now worried about  :grin: :shocked:,v :lipsrsealed:  Is that on a part-ex basis then?

Might just pick it up tomorrow... I thought you had to replace the whole CatBack.  Is it an easy DIY fit?
