I'd just get the full APR. Install price is a little more than I've paid but about right.

Default i got the apr dps and got a cel a few weeks later....

dealer told me te cel was because of the aftermarket cats. i called apr and they said "well, if you have the correct ecu then we can disable the O2 sensor and thats only if we have the coding for your ecu". I run GIAC and therefore they said "sorry we cant help you". So, if you run GIAC with APR you might have to live with a CEL like theyre asking me to. They even tried saying well if you mix components things like this can happen. Exhaust is exhaust.... It appears their system create a CEL but as long as you run their softward you'll be fine. Guess I didnt read the fine print when buying and APR has got a great way to make you get their software. : )

That sucks. I wonder if others with APR DPs also have this problem.

Seems like a crap answer... what if you have stock software? Should it throw a CEL then?

Default Well I flashed back to stock ...

(Pretty cool feature) when I dropped it off. The SA mentioned that it must be the cats since I have stock software : ) he did say "don't worry I won't register your upgrades with audi like I'm supposed to". C'mon its not like a have an SC! Well, I'm gonna take it to where i got it flashed and have them figure it out. If I have to go to apr software then I'll just sell these and go a different way on the dps

Default Full APR, esp if used.

I personally don't like mixing up systems, unless custom fabricating an exhaust for your specific preferences.
