I mean if you look at the diagram in the source its clearly the look of the one cut open. I honestly dont care what tech they used, the ridiculous thing is the cost of the exhaust.

**LINDW4LL** · 11-19-2014 04:09 PM

Lol, APR could not have handled this any worse...

**oascom** · 11-19-2014 04:12 PM

Hey Arin then you guys should put this photo on your website
As a example of RSC technology used in your exhaust

See That little round thing to the left of the middle divider, that's the rsc technology

I'm all for bashing companies but this exhaust bashing is petty and would be equivalent to bitching
that a big Mac doesn't look like the picture on an advertisement

Lol

It is so WRONG that Arin is trying to sidestep the issue at hand.

Like someone said above, trying to get out of it on a technicality.

OMFG so true! I'm dying

Love this thread. Certainly helped me make a decision on whether or not to use anything APR... that being not. Seriously, poorly handled APR.

**cory_can** · 11-19-2014 04:34 PM

;;;()))$$!!&@@@

Arin, are you trying to get off on a technicality and pass the buck? The truth is you and Keith in your marketing (and in attacking the competition) deceived everyone about the technology in your exhausts. You haven't taken ownership for that, apologized or offered restitution. You instead are just content to crush apr's reputation so as to 'get off on a technicality' with your new RSC double speak.

Oh, by the way. I am assuming Anthony moved it back for page views...

Hopefully, one of my assumptions is right.

No kidding!!! It seriously took that long to post up some bullshit like this?!?!? Sorry, but you're dodging all the relative questions...yet again.

Oh and you never answered my original question earlier today. Who have you been in discussion with at Corsa because the folks that I've spoken with at Corsa over the past few days have informed me that there hasn't been any conversation between the two parties. One of the Corsa employees even said, "who the hell is Arin@APR?" LOL

So please, by all means continue to lie to your customer base. Perhaps Colby will give you a job at BurgerFi when this is all said and done :)

Damn near everything!

Pathetic is certainly the correct word to use when describing this situation and APR customer support.

APR is nothing more than a sinking ship at this point.

Don't forget to sign that petition!

**kandrei** · 11-19-2014 05:03 PM

So from that link that Arin posted you can view a catlog of corsa products. Page 3 has this, note the comment about competitors inferior product comparison? Does that not look like some of the photos here?

Here's what the page looked like a few days ago.

You can verify this for yourself if you use google chrome by typing in "cache:" before the URL

*shakeshead*

Arin must have hacked the site. LOL....wouldn't be the first time I guess.

APR in this thread:

**mr shickadance** · 11-19-2014 07:16 PM

this is hilarious. APR not even once.

**audinutt** · 11-19-2014 07:17 PM

Makes me glad I have never purchased from them

That's probably all of them. Even things they do make can still be blamed on the material suppliers. Cause you know the supplier of the raw steel might have screwed them without them knowing.

**cory_can** · 11-19-2014 07:44 PM

Although there are some good ones, be careful with the videos/gifs for comic relief. I'm sure AZ admins are looking for a reason to lock/close this thread and shelf it.

**seanj130** · 11-19-2014 08:03 PM

There are links to this thread from all over the interwebs, he must love the traffic right about now

**Mr.Wrong** · 11-19-2014 08:25 PM

Everybody's been waiting for that reply from APR in hopes they'll make it right or offer some kind of explanation and in return APR just dumps Corsa under the bus.

I'm gonna need more popcorn for this, brb

Don't worry APR will come out with a full explanation for all this.....

In two weeks.

Busy busy! Vacation & work. I can see! A friend called me and asked if I still come on here and saw this thread. I love arin and that other guys responses. What a joke. This is a real good way to retain your customer base. I wouldn't buy shit from these guys.

**treejs4** · 11-19-2014 09:56 PM

So you're all saying I shouldn't place an order for an APR RSC exhaust right now......

Classic!!!

Should I plan on cutting open the APR DP and Free Flow Cat that I got installed at Waterfest last year for my STG 2 +?

Mmmm, on second thought...I might be OPENING another CAN of worms.

Even then, beware.

So with Corsa changing their web page to seemingly bolster APR's claim (I am not sober right now so that's my interpretation until the morning) it appears they are complicit. Am I following this correctly? (Edit: maybe "complicit" isn't quite the word I'm looking for after seeing the diagram on the right in the link below)

I'm not an audio engineer, I pretend to be an electrical in real life though, used to design subwoofer enclosures for fun and a living, and compete in SPL events so I am familiar with tuning, standing waves, and blah blah, but I'm getting mighty tempted to read those patents to see exactly what they describe.

In a possibly related matter, when I went to the grocery store they were completely sold out of popcorn. Coincidence?

**Subsonic** · 11-19-2014 10:19 PM

But, there's this page and the graphic on the right has no baffles (at least not in the sense of the "original" diagram everyone is referring to like on the left):

It's in on one side and out on the other in that graphic.

So, the RSC exhaust APR advertised had 3 RSC components; the dp resinator, center resonator, and mufflers. So now one of the three is remotely close to the hacked corsa page. Still a load of bs. Still no comment on the mufflers or the filler. Hmmmmm....

Feel bad for corsa, gonna be blowing up the phone lines tomorrow.
