Im looking into getting an exhaust and think im going to go with the APS 3" High Output Exhaust System. I havent been able to find any info or opinions about it on here. What do you guys think of this exhaust? I'm looking for a relatively quiet 3" exhaust that doesnt look ricy or have that major slant on the muffler.

Any thoughts?

*****ADDITION*****
I have recently purchased the APS 3" TBE. This exhaust is on the quiet side, its louder than stock but not in any way obnoxiously loud. It was a very quick install and every thing fit perfectly, the lower braces did not need to be shimmed. The muffler section looks almost stock. The tip is a little larger than stock but fits very symetrically in the stock location. I am very pleased with this exhaust.

 

here is a thought...

there are literally 9,000 exhaust threads

I have the 3.5" APS exhaust and love it. Sounds nice, good fit, etc. Honestly though for the money the APS exhaust systems are (well not sure bout the 3" but I know the 3.5" was high) I'd buy something less expensive and save a few hundred dollars.

 

Wouldnt the 3.5" lose some power down low due to loss of too much back pressure?

 

on an n/a car yes. on a turbo car no.

 

To be honest, I've never saw any type of testing so who knows. I used it on the stock turbo for a good while and it definitely performed on par with other exhaust. I now have a 35R on the car, but again who knows if it will perform any better than a 3" exhaust.

I wasn't trying to recommend getting the 3.5" exhaust, I was just stating that I had it to give a comment on how nice the quality is. But like I said, if I were doing it over again, for the $$ I would have probably gone with something different. It was more or less a newbie impluse buy for the "biggest is best" type deal before I found evoM and new anything.

 

i had this exact exhaust a couple months ago and i loved it. It looks similar to stock with a slightly larger muffler but it is polished. The sounds are deep and nice with normal driving and when WOT it sounds awesome. I would have kept the exhaust but decided to get a Carbon Ti to help out in the exterior points. No regrets on the APS High output.

 

You will not lose any low end power at all when you go to a 3.5 inch exhaust. There is no down side when you go bigger other than added weight. The best exhaust for any turbo motor is no exhaust.

 

I dont plan on getting the 3.5" but do you think that this turbo back is worth the $1k?

 

No, you should get the BR Exhaust system.

 

I've got the APS 3" and like he said it sounds awesome. Its a quality system made very well. And it fit perfect....no rubbing or bumping.

 

I too have this exhaust and have no complaints, some may make a little more power but this one is very low key and sounds great. I had one on both my evos.

 

I have this exhaust and have made 350/400 on it with stock turbo and stock block on a mustang dyno. Never received more then a warning for noise which was easily handled! definitely +1 for it.. just damned expensive.

awesome exhaust. not very loud, but sounds good when you get on it. the only draw back is the price, it is pretty expensive compared to others.
