Does the APR Catback Exhaust for 8V S3 Sportback fit the S3 sedan?

No. APR built the Catback Exhaust for 8V S3 Sportback for the five-door Sportback body only. The S3 sedan sold in the United States from 2015 to 2020 takes a separate APR catback designed around the sedan rear, so match the system to the body style.

Which T-Roc does the APR exhaust fit?

APR lists this system for the T-Roc alongside the rest-of-world S3 Sportback. Neither was sold new in the United States, so confirm the exact version and market of the vehicle with its build data before ordering, especially on an imported car.

Does the APR S3 Sportback exhaust keep the factory valves?

Yes. Cast valve housings and brackets accept the factory electronic actuators, so the drive modes still control when the valves open. The car stays calmer in normal driving and opens up fully when the valves open under load. No extra wiring or simulators are needed.

Will the APR S3 Sportback exhaust drone?

APR includes a Helmholtz resonator that reduces the unwanted frequencies behind drone, with two straight-through absorption mufflers deepening the note without rasp. Together with the retained valves, it stays comfortable on long motorway drives. The aggressive tone is saved for when the valves open.

Is the APR S3 Sportback exhaust heavier than stock?

No. APR states the system adds no weight over the factory exhaust, even with the 3 inch main pipe, cast quad splitter and four 4 inch tips. Thin-wall T304 stainless steel keeps the weight down and resists corrosion for many years.

Description

APR Catback Exhaust for 8V Audi S3 Sportback and Volkswagen T-Roc

APR’s Catback Exhaust for 8V Audi S3 Sportback and Volkswagen T-Roc is the rest-of-world counterpart to APR’s US sedan system, built for the five-door S3 Sportback, which was never sold in North America, and for the T-Roc. A single 3 inch mandrel-bent T304 pipe runs into a cast splitter feeding quad 2.5 inch outlets and four removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips, while cast valve housings keep the factory valves in control. It adds no weight over the factory system. For an S3 Sportback owner abroad, or anyone who has imported one, it is the correct APR fitment rather than an adaptation of the sedan part.

Design and Performance

Two straight-through brushed absorption mufflers deepen the note without restriction, and a Helmholtz resonator reduces the frequencies that otherwise drone at cruise. The factory electronic actuators bolt to the cast APR valve housings, and argon back-purged TIG welds keep every internal seam clean.

Features

T304 stainless steel with argon back-purged TIG welding
Single 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch mandrel-bent brushed tubing, larger than stock
Cast 3 inch to quad 2.5 inch splitter
Straight-through absorption mufflers and a Helmholtz resonator
Cast valve housings and brackets for the factory actuators
Four removable 4 inch polished slash-cut tips with Torca AccuSeal T304 clamps
No increase in weight over the factory system

Applications

Audi S3 Sportback: 8V | 2015-2017 | 2.0L I4 TFSI (rest-of-world market)
Volkswagen T-Roc: Rest-of-world market

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
