APC makes products which are illegal according to NHTSB guidelines and are used regularly as OEM replacement parts. They are advertised as 100% street legal but are not so. Read the article as to the specifics of the violations.

APC makes strictly Pep-Boys type crap. No performance parts at all.

Yes. APC is a cancer on the automotive aftermarket industry.

Heh. I found it and saw that noone else posted, and I know how passionate this board is about APC and the "eurotail" craze in general...
