APR is now a part of Driven Performance Brands (DPB), a leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of specialty automotive aftermarket performance products for car and truck enthusiasts.
DPB offers a variety of uniquely designed and stylized products to a wide range of automotive enthusiasts. DPB’s product line touches almost every part of the undercar, from exhaust to transmission, drivetrain, and electronic tuning products, and is now marketed under six brands: Flowmaster, B&M Racing and Performance, Hurst Shifters, Hurst Driveline Conversions, Dinan Engineering and now APR.
“For nearly 65 years, Driven Performance Brands has shared our passion for building enthusiast driven products that touch nearly every aspect of the driving experience,” said Mitch Williams, CEO of APR.
