Hi Guys and Girls,

I recently got a quote for the APR Stage 1+ ECU from a shop in Vancouver. I also had them price out an exhaust system as well.

Here is the quote:

APR Stage 1+ programming (stock & 91 octane) $695.00
APR Stage 1+ fuel injectors $595.00
Stratmosphere Diverter Valve $150.00
Labor $125.00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-total $1565.00
PST $109.55
GST $78.25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $1752.80

APR B6 1.8t cat. back exhaust (stealth) $1270.00 (quietest)
Labor $225.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-total $1495.00
PST $104.65
GST $74.75
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $1674.40


Here are my questions:

1) Fair prices or not?
2) Does anyone have experience with the Stratmosphere Diverter Valve? I don't want to have much extra maintenance if possible (eg lubing the DV)
3) Has anyone heard this exhaust system? How does it sound?
4) Can I just buy the TT injectors myself and save some $$?

Thanks everyone!!!

APR has 2 sales per year, one around Christmas and the other in the summer, I would wait till then.

How much of a discount could I expect from this sale?

It is an all day trip (including a return trip on an 1.5 hour ferry) to get the work done so if it a big savings I will wait, but if it is only a few bucks I'll just get the work done sooner.

They usually load the ECU with everything if you purchase 2 programs, so you get everything. And Exhaust I have seen with at least $200 off. But you can also call them and ask, anyone else on here remember?

Can I buy and install the larger injectors myself and save any money or is that a fair price?

I have seen used injectors go for $200-300 or you can get a brand new set for about $400 yourself.

for the chipping, i have seen them go for as low as 450ish so its quite a bit of saving.
