    All i can say is frigging wow!

    Without doing a WJ on you all........

    What a difference this system has made, seat of the pants and sound.

    A lot more revvier & toeyer under 4,000rpm and its almost made it like my Mk5 Gti (with Stage1) down low.
    Boost definetly comes in earlier!

    Trust me when i say the R has been liberated.....worth every cent by far!
    (take note nay sayers)

    And the sound is to die for....

    Cruising no difference, totally comfortable, until you open it up it barks, the the upshift farts are nuts...

    Do I recommend it, hell yeah!!!

    R owners get yourself one, you will not regret it!

    Now for more G-Tech Pro II tests.......

    Cheers.

    Boy am I jealous!

      • Guys, before we have 1000 people ask....
        The APR Downpipe page is here
        Installation should take no longer than 2 hours. The installation cost will vary depending on who you ask to install it for you and how much they charge per hour.

          Thanks Corey_R

          Labour is going to be around 2-3 hours.

          Its a bit tricky as a result of the drive shaft to the rear being in the way.
          I think they had to drop it for access.

          Please note though, the cost of the Divorced Downpipe includes the hiflow cat as per the link above by Corey_R.

                • This is an expensive tuning by German company:


                  Wimmer RS Turns VW Golf R into 478HP Red Devil - Carscoop

                  (as per German website) it is about 40,000 Euros.

                  one more fact - from 0 to 200km/h in 12.1 sec
