APR Presents: Golf R™ 3" RSC Exhaust System!

[Arin@APR]

Product Page



APR's RSC™ Technology is now available for the MK6 Golf R in our newest 2.0T RSC™ 3" Performance Exhaust System. RSC™ or Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating unwanted in cabin sound resonance known as "drone". RSC™ incorporates innovative technologies developed in conjunction with NASA. With limited use of packing materials and no baffles, RSC™ allows for a completely straight and free flowing exhaust path throughout the RSC™ mufflers. Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and completely eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine's true and desirable exhaust not to be heard and improving performance.



APR's design specifications and manufacturing requirements result in a 3" mandrel bend stainless steel performance exhaust system with minimal bends unmatched by any other. RSC™ technology ensures the maximum possible performance increases from any performance exhaust system while maintaining refined and unobtrusive sound inside the cabin.

Power Gains

Power gains were measured in identical testing conditions using APR's in house dynamometer. The factory exhaust was tested against the APR RSC Turboback Exhaust in various software and hardware configurations. The average maximum gains were rounded down to the nearest 5 HP and are listed below. APR recorded gains between 10 and 25 HP in various configurations proving the exhaust's 3" straight through free flowing design increases power over the stock exhaust system.

Here's how drone will compare using a straight pipe system to an APR RSC system.



30 dB Difference... so WAHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMWWWOOOOAAHHHHHHHH at cruise vs normal exhaust sounds.

Don't make it sound worse than it really it. Hell the puny k04 is the most muffling device on the car LOL!! Is it worth nearly 2 grand? HELL NO!!! I'll be letting your APR fan boys have it. It is shiny tho BAHAHAHAHA!!!

I have a k04 and I drove a different style exhaust for quite sometime. My ears say yes, yes it is, and anyone who's actually heard the difference would share the same opinion (Which I'm confident, you haven't). Considering we launched the prebuy of this exhaust on Monday and already over 100 orders were placed, I'm going to guess not everyone shares your opinion.

Your right, I've never driven a k04 turboed car. Only a k03, 30r 35r and 6262 all being mine except the 30r . Oh both 1.8 and 2L . Honestly I hope you rip of 1000 idiots with this polished beauty LOL! Opinions suck but at least im honest

Our pipes are not polished.

I really don't understand why you guys "T'ed" that rear muffler into the pipe like that. It makes a strange wooshing sound that almost overpowers the engine sound even in your video. What's up with that? just curious, not hatin'
