APR RSC Performance Exhaust System
RSC™ technology is now available in the 2.0T RSC™ Performance Exhaust System. RSC™ or Reflective Sound Cancellation allows for maximum exhaust gas flow while completely eliminating unwanted in cabin sound resonance known as "drone". Reflective Cancellation bounces the undesirable sound waves into each other to attenuate the wave and eliminate the low frequency tones that create drone. Each RSC™ muffler is tuned to eliminate specific, undesirable sound frequencies allowing only the engine's true and desirable exhaust note to be heard and improving performance.

The following data was measured from a 2008 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T FSI at a 70 MPH constant speed cruise. Sound measurements are made inside the vehicle and recorded as sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels. Comparisons show the resulting sound levels tested with no mufflers, with a competitor's exhaust system, and the new APR RSC Performance Exhaust system.
Many of the competing exhaust systems do not significantly reduce the low frequency tones that occur around 50 to 200 Hz, which makes the tone levels closer to running without a muffler (dark gray bar). It's these frequency tones that are responsible for "drone". RSC acoustic prediction methods and design techniques reduce these tones without compromising the sporty sound we all enjoy from high performance automobiles.
The gray bars show data taken from the GTI with a competitor's exhaust system installed. The red bars compare results from the RSC™ Performance Exhaust system. The dominant low frequency tone responsible for drone occurs at 94 Hz and has been significantly reduced with the RSC™ Performance Exhaust system by about 20 dB compared to the competitor's exhaust system.
The following graph illustrates the narrowband acoustic spectra for the competitor's exhaust system and the RSC™ Performance Exhaust system. Both the dominant tones and the broadband sound levels are quieter for the RSC™ system over most of the frequency range, especially around 94 Hz where drone notes dominate.
RSC™ technology provides sound levels comparable or even quieter than OEM exhaust systems at cruising speed. RSC's™ design minimizes back pressure and provides gains greater than other performance exhaust systems. The example shown for the Volkswagen GTI demonstrates the ability to tailor the sound spectra to eliminate drone while maintaining a sporty sound, especially under full throttle.
