APR has announced the release of their turbo-back exhaust system for the Mk6 GTI!!  We will be stocking these very soon…

APR, LLC. announces another successful licensing of a new exhaust technology, RSC™, Reflective Sound Cancellation, to further enhance APR’s line of performance exhaust systems for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles.

Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating in cabin sound resonance (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 through 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 desirable exhaust notes to be heard and improving performance.

The first APR application to feature RSC™ technology were the New MK5 GTi 2.0T FSI RSC™ Performance Exhaust Systems. Benefits of the new technology allowed APR’s RSC™ Exhaust Systems to meet the European Union and other countries’ noise requirements of 90db or less in new car exhaust sound and even increase performance over traditional performance exhaust systems.

APR’s RSC™ technology is now available for the MK6 GTI in our newest 2.0 TSI RSC™ Performance Exhaust System!

APR’s design specifications and manufacturing requirements result in a 3″ mandrel bend stainless steel performance exhaust system 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.

APR’s 2.0T RSC™ Performance Exhaust System features the same great designs from APR’s Engineering Team and high quality manufacturing incorporating the following:

-High Percision Jewelry Grade Tig Welding
-304L Low Carbon Stainless Steel Construction
-CNC Milled Mounting Bracketry
-Torca Exhaust Clamps
-3″ CNC Mandrel Bent Tubing
-200 Cell Metal Matrix Catalyst
-Double Walled and Rolled 4″ Tips Emblazoned with the APR Logo
-Lifetime Warranty

The Golf Ball Test

The Golf Ball Test is the best way to determine if the exhaust system you’ve chosen for your turbocharged car is up to the task of handling the power output from your engine. Often times, you’ll find that you can’t even roll a marble through a traditional muffler system which makes one wonder just how restrictive that free flowing exhaust must really be. Traditional mufflers use baffles and packing material a lot like steel wool to quiet the drone and other unpleasing sounds that occur when developing an exhaust system to make power. Obviously, the more baffles and packing material you add to reduce the unpleasing sound, the more restrictive the system becomes and therefore the opportunity for maximum power output is greatly reduced. APR’s RSC™ mufflers don’t use traditional muffler baffles and packing material, RSC™ incorporates a straight-through design that gives you all of the power of a straight pipe exhaust system plus the comfort in the cabin that comes with absolutely ZERO drone.

Kris had picked up a set of the Hartmann HTTRS Wheels for his Passat CC a few weeks back, and we were very interested to see what the final outcome would be. Knowing though that the stance wouldn’t be exactly what Kris would want us to take pictures of, he made sure to have us throw on a set of the Koni SS coil-overs first, a bargain at the price of $1199!

Once installation was complete, Kris’ CC was rolled up front for pictures. We were unbelievably amazed at how well the CC wore the HTTRS Wheels – of course the suspension had MUCH to do with it.

No spacing was required to achieve this superb stance. The Hartmann HTTRS comes in 19×8.5″ sizing with a 38mm offset which we then wrapped with Goodyear rubbers in 235/35. We honestly couldn’t think of a better look for the car… Then Kris broke it to us – the Gold Coast body kit is already en route. We certainly hope to get another shot or two of this gorgeous car when it comes in wearing its new outfit.

Need any wheel bolts? Look no further… Cuz we just got in 33,000 of them!!

Achtuning/Hartmann Wheels will continue to be your best, local source for wheel bolts. (With the exception of tuner lugs.) Several bolt lengths are available with the option for ball or cone seat. If you’ve been looking for a set of wheel bolts, look no further!

We are finally able to offer on-car pictures of Hartmann’s newest wheel, the HTTRS for the Audi A5 and S5! Currently available in just the one size of 19×8.5 and a 38mm offset, several VW and Audi applications can certainly benefit from the simple, yet elegant styling of Hartmann’s HTTRS Wheel.

Hartmann HTTRS
* 19×8.5 et38 – List Price: $285 ea.

Since the A5/S5 requires a low offset wheel, H&R 20mm spacers brought the wheel’s 38mm offset to one that better fits the stance these cars need. The rear could even stand to see a 25mm spacer to even out the distance between wheel/tire and fender.

To order, simply click on the wheel image above and it will guide you to our online catalog or give us a call at 425.895.0000. Post up or contact us directly if you have any questions.

Did another test-fit of the Hartmann HTTRS Wheel on Audi’s latest A4 body style. Could a basic design like this look any better?

Admittedly the car needs to be lowered but let’s get past that for a second since coilovers are a simple upgrade away. The way the spokes dive in towards the center of the wheel, the slight twist in each spoke, and the simple lines… all are ingredients that go well with the elegant body lines of the Audi A4.

The website galleries are being updated as I type this. Look for pictures of the Hartmann Euromesh 3 and 5 also featured on this Audi A4. Just keep in mind they’re not sporting the appropriate tire size (shown w/ 235s when it should have 245 or even 255s).

… The details for those who like reading.

Koni’s SS coil-over suspension kits are designed specifically for each Audi model and configuration. The ride will feel similar to the factory Audi suspension but with more control. In addition to the comfortable ride the Koni SS coilover kit will stiffen the suspension just enough to improve the steering response and minimize body roll. The spring rate is chosen for your vehicle and driving use. The Koni SS suspension kit includes the following components:

• KONI Cadmium Plated, Adjustable Dampers
• Koni Progressive Springs
• UHMWPE Spring Perch Bearings

Many spring and shock combinations lower the car more than most drivers want. Spring and shock combinations are rarely designed to work in concert with the rest of the suspension and thus make for poor handling and ride quality. The KONI SS Coilovers give you the ability to choose where you want the ride height to be while giving you the damping control you need.

This kit uses Koni’s twin-tube dampers featuring Sport valving. Additional features include a corrosion resistant cadmium plated damper body, damping adjustability and height adjustability. Rebound is adjustable while the damper is off of the car. Most customers find that changing the settings after installation isn’t necessary. Rear dampers feature the same performance as the front dampers.

Note:
The rear suspension of of many Audi and Volkswagen vehicles uses a seperate perch for the spring. Due to this design a “true” coilover is not possible in the rear of those vehicles however an adjustable perch is included for height adjustability.

* Offer good while current supplies last.
