I was looking for a affordable exhaust system for my R8 and came across this company in my own backyard. I went and visited Stuart at Velocity AP and was really impressed with his products. I decided to place an order for the "super sports" system. It was made in house and they even powder coated my tips satin black for me. When I picked up my car I could tell right away that it had more attitude, It sounds so much better then stock! I wanted my car to sound exotic but not be over the top loud or have drone. It isn't either of those. I think Stuart told me that it saved me about 34 pounds over the stock exhaust so that was a bonus. I let them use my car for some promotional videos and thought you guys might like to have a listen. If you're looking for an exhaust system then be sure to check them out!!!! I seriously can't stop driving it :)

I hope this ok to post, I'm not 100% sure on the rules.....

Hi Everyone,

Very happy to have joined this board as a Vendor, and thanks to rhyno for being such a great customer. We are based in British Columbia, Canada and manufacture all our own exhausts in-house. We are an original equipment supplier to Aston Martin Racing, in addition to producing our own line of VelocityAP Exhausts.

The R8 V8 & V10 exhausts are available in 2 configurations - 'Supersport' as seen in the videos, and 'Race', without the silencer. Supersport is a great setup for every day use, loud enough when you get on it, but not so loud you can't cruise comfortably. Next week we are installing on a 2015 Facelift car so will be able to confirm fitment on the 2014/2015 shortly.

We selected this for rhyno's car as he has a couple of other exotics that are straight piped, and this was a more sedate car. This system is priced at $2495.00

For those of you who love it loud (me too!) we offer the 'Race' version, at just 19lbs, very reasonably priced at just $1995

After driving around for a few months with the exhaust installed, I can say I still have a smile on my face! I let a friend drive my R8 and he was sold instantly on the exhaust and is now getting one installed. I feel like the V10 was way to quiet from the factory and it truly needs more sound. With this system you can drive the car slow around town and not stand out but when you get on it the exhaust opens up and sounds really nice.

Thanks very much for supporting us, and I'm glad you are still enjoying this setup. We installed the GT/Facelift tip sections with the same muffler on Shane's car in Dallas' garage last night. He's really happy with it.

It's funny when they started the car and it came off cold start, they both said "wow, that's really quiet." It is deceptively quiet at idle and at low RPM cruising. But you can definitely hear it when you open it up:

'Race' System is $1995 RRP, on sale at $1500. 'Supersport' system is $2495, on sale for $1871.25. Available for both pre & post facelift cars + GT.

Forum member installed the 'Race' version just a couple days ago and has emailed me with a great review. Hope to see it here soon.

We will soon be offering these systems in Race/Supersport, Race/Sport & Race/Touring valved setups as well.

Ordering a Velocity AP Super Sport exhaust today. Embarrassing when you neighbor's 12 year old son tells you it needs an exhaust. Excited about giving my business to a new vendor with realistic pricing. Not to mention, the amazing sales pricing currently being offered. Big thanks to Stuart for a quick email response and suggestions. Can't wait to get my hands on it. The silence is deafening. LOL.

Was hoping for a Weds. delivery, but DHL just sent me a text indicating a July 5th delivery. I was hoping to have it back together by the weekend for the Charlotte Cars and Coffee. Just my luck. Oh well.

Received my Super Sport exhaust last night. Wow, what a huge weight savings. And, with all of the angles and bends, Velocity has their jig just right. Took a little finessing to get the two outlet tubes adjusted correctly, but a couple of minor tweaks and it is spot on. Hopefully have it all buttoned up by Friday.

Alright, I have good news and bad news. THE GOOD NEWS: Finally got it all back together. I ordered the Super Sport System per Stuarts suggestion.The lap-band system does make it easy to get the tips exactly where they need to be. I had to hold the rear fascia up to the car several times to get the tips where they needed to be, but no problem with a good neighbor friend and a couple of cold ones. There are some excellent step by step directions online that made the process quite trouble-free. A lot of hidden nuts and bolts that would have caused some frustration. Although my car has only 8K miles, it was a nice opportunity to clean everything while it was apart. Fired it up last night and no leaks or issues. It smoke quite a bit for a couple of minutes while burning off the contaminants but initial sound was promising. Cleaned it all up, jumped in the pool to cool off quick (96 degrees here in NC), and took it on it's maiden voyage. Now the bad news.


THE BAD NEWS: I can't park this thing. Told the wife I'd be right back for dinner, but that sh*# was cold when I got home. The sound and the dual tone from the exhaust is intoxicating. At low RPM and normal driving it won't be intrusive to anyone. The initial warm up is quite louder than stock, but it's cool. Once you roll into it the sound comes alive. As you go through the gears it sings like European Super Car should. This is the sound we're looking for boys and girls. And, for the price, I doubt anyone out there can improve much on this. I believe you'll hear a lot more about VELOCITY-AP. Thanks Stuart.

NOTE: The author of this article was NOT compensated in any way by VelocityAP for this review. In fact, he was a bit a of a pain in the ass when he thought the exhaust might not make it to him by the holiday weekend. LOL (Thanks again Stuart)

Anyone running the Velocity AP Sport or Supersport exhaust on a V8? All the sound clips seem to be V10's.
