APR Stage 2 first impressions

[Thisisnoise]

Have a 2014 S7 and just had the downpipes and stage 2 software installed . Please note for those of you who have awe exhausts some custom work will be needed as there is roughly a 7inch gap from the apr downpipes to the awe system .

1. The car sounds amazing with the apr downpipes and the awe track . It's loud and drones a little but I'm literally addicted to it . Doesn't sound obnoxious but people will know when you pull into the office parking lot

2. The car feels like a high performance sedan . My buddy has an rs5 and I think after driving my car for 10 mins he will be buying an s7 soon. It's a very noticeable increase in torque and the car just pulls. Will definitely hold me over until a stage 3 upgrade.

3. I was on the fence about spending more $$$ on this car but I really really enjoy this upgrade . For anyone debating going stage 2 it's money well spent .

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Nice! Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish more with stage 2 would come out and review it. Can't wait until mine come in.

Just used the 93 map on my 91 + ACES. Power was awesome. I'll have my stage 2 downpipes and roc euro done on Thursday.

Here's another one with gurgles on the slowdown (old lady pulling out of the driveway kind of ruined the vid)

Excellent videos. Sounds really awesome. Considering the track exhaust for my S6 as you saw from my other post. Worried about waking up my neighbors though leaving to work out early in the morning.

As long as you aren't pedal to metal in the am I wouldn't think your neighbors would wake up from the track exhaust though it is loud . I guess it depends on how close they are to you and how light of sleepers they are.

Saw your other question about drone. It does drone but personally I don't mind it . If you tend to listen to the radio at all you won't really notice it .

Best advice is get the track version and if it's to loud for you I still have my touring parts I can send you

Thanks man. I assume the exhaust is the same except for the resonators?

[Thisisnoise]

Correct identical minus the resonators
