I swapped out my RMR downpipe, Perrin Cat Delete pipe and JIC catback exhaust for a new APS Turbo Back.

I wanted a much cleaner look from the back of the car and the APS is perfect. It very much resembles an IS300 exhaust from a glance.

TO me, the round canister style mufflers are just too ricey.

One look at the APS and I was impressed - each section was inspected (and approved - see decal) and all weld points where ground smooth. The attention to detail was amazing.

The exhaust fits much tighter against the chassis and no piping is visible from under the car. Yes, it does have more bends than the JIC, but it looks a hell of a lot cleaner.

I'm impressed -

 

you do realize that your thread says AMS and not APS? do you want me to change it for you?

i am very confused about this becuase your mod list and your post said new AMS turbo back and all your pics show the APS turboback

 

Sorry - Yes.. please do. APS.

Been working on the clutch a little too long today.

 

man that exhaust looks awesome once installed, thumbs up to APS

 

looks nice but in not thrilled with the 90 degree bend b4 the exit

 

very nice. how does this one compare to your old set up?

 

APS's qulity has always bin top notch. Thow I'm wondering is the muffler baffled? By the look of the inlet on the muffler it does not look like a straight threw unit.

APS makes a very nice exhaust. I used their exhaust on my WRX.

Eric-
I believe the muffler is similar to the one used for the WRX, only with an offset inlet (baffled).

Smokin'-
How about a sound clip!

Then that's a bummer . This exhaust is very nice.

 

you selling the JIc cat back?

 

OT: How do you like those Ecsta MX's on the Evo? I have a set on my Talon and like 'em pretty well so far. I'm curious how they feel on the Evo. I have Azeni's on mine right now.

 

The APS is truly a quality piece. I'm amazed with the super thick flanges and incredibly perfect fit.
The sound is deeper and somewhat quieter than the JIC I had previously

The muffler is a straight-thru design with no baffle.



I'm unfamiliar with the WRX APS, so I couldnt tell you if the muffler is the same. Compared to the straighter JIC (which hung under the rear diff), the car feels to pull stronger in the lower revs with the APS. I believe the increased backpressure may have helped the low-end. Logic says that top end probably suffered a little, tho I couldnt feel a difference.



I'll see what I can do about getting a clip posted.

The JIC/RMR/Perrin set up sold on Ebay nearly a week ago.

 

Thank you I can tell it's straigh throw from that great pic.
