First Golf R 420 hp (315kw) build in the world - Australian exclusive!
I'm also looking forward to the information on the availability on the updated Carbonio (pod-style) intake for the R instead of the old original Carbonio panel-style intake.
Sorry, I'm on holidays this week so I can't get the pictures up on line (unless you like fishing pictures )
Anyway, the first batch are currently in production & we can deliver by mid October. I will post some pictures next week when I get back (remind me if I don't). The internal design of of the rear muffler has taken a lot of work, has to be hand constructed, not the cheapest method unfortunately, but I am confident it will be the best on the market.
Mid October is when the Hot Tuner Sale finishes. Oh well, I am sure there will be other sale events that we can take advantage of later.
A quick question - does the price of the exhaust advertised on the APR website include installation at the austhorised dealers or is that going to be extra?

I guess the price wasn't really a shock to me, as the divorced downpipe and high-flow cat has long been available at $2495. So the midpipe and rear muffler/exhaust tips is what we've been waiting for and that's only $1500.
I had already budgeted the downpipe in my future purchases, so whether I'll spend the extra $1500 I guess depends on the sound (does it sound better? is it the same volume or quieter than stock etc?) and how much diff the full exhaust makes in performance over just the downpipe.
As my first "euro" I guess I'm just finding it difficult to accept that an ECU remap and full exhaust is $5500-6000. Anyway won't hijack the thread, I'll save it for somewhere else.
Is the new Golf R RSC Exhaust System any lighter than the standard system and if so, by how much?
I just thought I'd point out that this is not a RSC exhaust system. This has been developed by APR Australia (in other words Guy and Harding Performance) in co-operation with a local manufacturer and they do not have the equipment required to engineer an RSC exhaust.
