All I hear about are the two most popular, Mil/LaB but not much for the APR c/b. Anyone on here actually have it; reviews or clip?

Default I believe JD informed us that it threw CELs back when a couple installed it.

JD's good at informing us about the failures of competing products ;-P

Default Milltek, Thermal, APR, and Labree are the most common.

AWE just released a new one. Many think it looks a lot like the Thermal exhaust. Not surprising.

The APR and B&B exhausts are the same as well.

Fluffhead has the APR fullback on his car. He likes it a lot. Not quite as loud as the Milltek or Labree. But it works for him.

I have a few clips of Milltek res, Milltek non-res, and APR if you want to hear them.

APR is a good exhaust, just doesn't have the following that Milltek does.

Ah, in hindsight, it wouldn't apply to mark's question anyway.

Default There are only 2 cases of issues that I know about......

1) The guy who bought the first exhaust from APR had a bad cat and instead of letting APR replce it for him he decided to keep his car stock.

2) There was someone who tried to install APR DP's with a Miltek exhast and that's why he had issues. He said APR wouldn't help him, but never mentioned if he even spoke to Miltek (Strat) about it.

Yes, I've heard that but the c/b doesn't seem very popular

Default I have the full kit and love it.......

It's the quietest of all the ones I've heard and even though I did have a minor exhaust leak (which was caused by the person who installed it not putting the clamp on correctly) at the time of the shootout, APR had the highest hp and tq #'s (Labree was not present at the shootout).

Labree only is a popular name right now b/c there was a hugh group buy recently with a lot of drama.

Miltek is by far the most popular and widley used set up.

So, if you want to be a little different and don't mind having the quietest exhaust, go APR.

If you want a deep sound that a lot of people also have go Miltek or Labree.

If you plan on getting DP's in the future, you might also want to consider price of each full system b/c most of the exhaust and DP's are not interchangable.
