APR Deceptive Website and Marketing practices

The avalanche just keeps building in size and scale for how bad this is for APR. I just don’t understand how they’re considering this to not be a bigger deal. I still say their unwillingness to come on this site shows that they’ve no intentions to come clean.

Thanks for continuing to share crew. That was a sakimano style chop busting exposé on golfmk6 forums

Vendors who get involved are idiots…

X2

Epic golfmk6 thread. Wow.

Damage control has now thrown gasoline on the fire.

This is quite a thread!

So many information…

Don’t worry guys, it will all be explained soon.

"Latest Member: APR "

lol

I picture all 5 employees who are left at APR, crowded around one computer while someone is typing scathing replies and ambiguously worded non-denials of their deceit. All while having a chili contest.

Oh yes, while their customers are busting APR’s ass wide open online, and their company’s reputation is in tatters, APR decided to…make some chili.

And while they’re not paying their bills, they ARE paying for a custom chili trophy lololol. Very weird shit.

You know my thoughts on this with respect to the hassling phone calls / text messages recieved from a cell number in Lebanon NJ. I am going to re-open this today and report back.

PA…

That story hasn’t broken on audizine. Wonder if there’s a troll there too. This guy is either a troll, or didn’t read a fucking lick of that thread

[quote=doug97GXE]its my assumption APR opened these exhausts because they felt they weren’t getting what they paid for, then at that point it was too late to stop the train from rolling. Was that deceitful? if thats the case then YES… absolutely… But it looks APR has been screwed just as much as the owners of the exhaust.

That being said the actual owners of this exhaust need to speak up and get some compensation if they so choose to without the other bashing.

Don’t forget as humans we can do 99 things right, but the moment we get 1 thing wrong its magnified. Let the actual owners get their compensation fix that situation and let the other 99 things APR has done for the community continue to beit those that need it

He has half a dozen posts in there sticking up for APR and basically ignoring the facts.

He also joined 10 days ago…

The name reminded me of one of the troll accounts the guy from AP TUNING was using

That mk6 thread is hilarious, those guys are absolutely crushing APR…complete with few additional Arin responses. I don’t know much of the APR economics, but aren’t the mk6/mk5 GTI sort of bread + butter platforms for APR…purely in terms of customer base, percentage of people doing mods, cost still high etc?

:wink:

The Mk6 guys are gonna love that chili cook off.

Interestingly arin was making jokes about the chili reference in this thread.

So was his employee fkyingfatfuck as well as rsworx and roceuro chiming in with sycophantic support.
Good to see them making light of the Apr customers concerns about being lied to and defrauded with the fake RSC exhausts.

It’s good that arin knows when to stop.

I’m sure mangrove people will enjoy this.

WOW, I am seriously in awe at the stupidity. I just can’t imagine…Arin must have photos of Mangrove’s CEO with hookers or something, not sure why they haven’t canned him yet.

Hahaha the last chili supper

That’s Arin’s face on Jesus

Love the Chili Supper. + karma

Good to see those guys who don’t care that APR was ripping off hundreds of customers, perpetuating a fraud and being at best, at first too ignorant to know what they were selling, and after opening them up and seeing it was junk, being complicit in that and continuing to lie.

RSWORX - doesn’t care, and is laughing at fraud and ripping off customers
ROCEURO - doesn’t care, and is laughing at fraud and ripping off customers
FlyingTomatoes - doesn’t care and is laughing at fraud and ripping off customers
Corbett (TimHaugan) - doesn’t care and is laughing at fraud and ripping off customers

Class acts.

This question/discussion might need it’s own thread… But in light of recent events w/ apr, who is the go-to aftermarket supplier for VAG? I wouldn’t trust revo, uni is mediocre.

GIAC?

what’s VAG? The entire group? It’s platform dependent.

JHM is who I’d choose for anything 4.2

3.0T? APR still has good stuff, but ethically they’re a gong show, so you might want to spend your money elsewhere. GIAC does well, and has managed to actually deal with the facelift shortshifting transmission whereas APR is a couple of years behind them (with no release in sight, especially considering recent changes)

2.0T etc? no idea.
