LOL. Just a flash and intake. Should be 11's though :) Not enough for a S3UL8R plate though.

i think your perception of fast may be slightly warped. A car that runs 11's is FAST!
I cant believe they are that fast with a tune and a couple bolt ons, awesome.
current:
-mk4 tdi wagon with some mods
-TDI b3 90q, holset turbo, be strong little connecting rods!
-the turbo tractor
past:
-11 second 90q junker
-20vt swapped 90q winter beater
-efi 20vt 4kq
-way too many other long gone urs's, 200's 4000's, b5's

Lol, it may be. But cars keep getting faster and faster and I am too modest to have a plate like that whether it be true or not. There will always be something faster.

I think my newest plate idea is: OBS3SS3D

Maybe. Still have plenty of time to come up with something and there are thousands of good options with S3 in them.

People used to say that my A6 Avant with the 30v 2.8 was fast, even though it was over 9sec to 60. Fast is relative.

Called and added the Advanced Technology package. After doing a bit more research and watching some videos I said how the hell can I not get that option, lol. Now it'll be fully loaded.

Goes into service department

"Yeah I need a new motor under warranty please"

"Why?"

"Well I don't see anything about voiding the warranty if running 108 sunoco race fuel and an APR Tune"

"Huh? What the hell is sunoco and a tune?"

I'd still very much consider their exhaust. Lots of hate flying around about them... I had the RSC on my Golf R and it was the best exhaust I've owned. Regardless of what it looks like internally it did what was advertised and had no drone.

I may not own anything from APR, but damn that's a sketchy business.

If by false advertising you're saying that their marketing illustration isn't 100% true to what is currently in their product then yeah maybe. Also there's a good chance that Corsa pulled a fast one on them. Would you start cutting up every other exhaust from a trusted company that you've been doing business with for years just to verify that it looks exactly like the first prototype?

RSC isn't a specific look. It's a system to cancel sound and regardless of what it takes to accomplish that, mine did as advertised. I bought it used too if price is your gripe.

I was a happy APR customer for years and this recent media does in fact put a bad taste in my mouth. I'm only defending the exhaust but the rest of the stuff you guys have probably yet to see. It's too bad.

Unfortunately it's the business. There is maybe a handful of trustworthy business in this industry. FRP being one.

I think the RSC gripe is paying a premium for a product using patented new technology when it really is not.

That was my understanding. They claim it to be expensive because of this fancy muffler they have to fabricate that takes forever to make and is different from engine to engine, only to deliver a hollow muffler across the board. Maybe it was on Corsa's end and it's really not APR's fault, but the way that they handled any type of media/pr stuff was absolutely terrible as well. I actually liked them before all this garbage happened. It's one thing to messup, but when you just back pedal and back track trying to cover up your screw ups when everybody figures everything out, makes it 10 times worse.

Oh god, the APR RSC exhaust bullshit found its way on here too? I understand people being somewhat upset, but as mentioned it works as advertised. There are a lot of idiots saying they won't buy anything from them ever again, but when it comes down to it their tunes are some of the best in the industry, as are many of their other products. I can't wait to see what they reveal at the distributor conference in a couple weeks.
