System Overview

Our exhaust system uses larger piping compared to the factory exhaust system, yet weights several pounds less. We use 3" OD piping, which then splits to a dual 2.5" design. The factory system uses 2.5" piping, which reduces to 2.25" before splitting and reducing fruther, greatly diminishing the overall diameter of the system. Finally, our systems 4" exhaust tips dwarf the factory tips, giving the rear of the vehicle a sportier look.

Component Details

• Mufflers
  
  

  The mufflers are responsible for tuning the exhaust note and do so without adding unnecessary restrictions to the system. The muffler features a straight-through perforated tube thats tightly wrapped with stainless steel and fiberglass material. The mufflers have a beautiful brushed finish, and are tucked high in the exhaust tunnel, making them perfect for lowered vehicles.

  
  
  
• Axle-Back Components
  
  

  We cast the axle-back splitter to maximize the systems performance by keeping exhaust velocity high and back pressure low. This is accomplished by gradually splitting the system from a single 3" pipe to dual 2.5" pipes. The organically shaped casting allows us to make this transition gradually as to not disturb the flow of gasses. Furthermore, as this component is visible from the rear of the vehicle, we made sure form matched function with a beautiful surface finish, TIG welding, unique bracketry and brushed, mandrel bent tubing.

• Brackets
  
  

  Our brackets ensure a strong and precise fit, every time. With our design, youll never need to worry about the brackets sagging and losing their shape over time, or the post slipping out of the hangers. The brackets are rigid, exact in their position, fit snugly in place and are made to stand the test of time.

• Tubing
  
  

  We use T304 stainless steel tubing throughout. We brush and de-burr all pipes, use mandrel bending techniques to ensure the pipes keep a constant diameter throughout, and use argon-back purged TIG welding for a strong and attractive weld.

• Tips
  
  

  Our polished slash-cut 4 exhaust tips upgrade the rear of the vehicle dramatically. The motorsport-inspired tips tuck nicely into the factory valance, gently following the valances curves and demanding all the right attention in all the right places. We laser etch a small and discreet APR logo onto the top of each tip, and we use T304 stainless Torca AccuSeal clamps that bolt on with ease with hardware that rotates out of sight. Lastly, since the tips are removable, you can upgrade to any one of our optional tip designs at any time.

• 
  
  
• Clamps
  
  

  Our system uses OEM-style low-profile slip clamps. Our clamp selection allows the system to sit high in the exhaust tunnel, as is favored by lowered vehicles, with ultimate compatibility no matter what DP you may have. The clamps make for easy swapping of the mid section, and slide out of the way to make adding or removing a Race DP easy. Each connection point is strategically placed to ensure the system has minimal opportunity to rotate during install or during years of heavy driving.

• DP Compatibility
  
  

  Weve designed our system to be 100% bolt-on with the factory exhaust DP and APR Race DP.
