Is this something you can do yourself? Or does it need to go to a garage et el? I take it Audi will just sell you the parts?
Thanks, so i have a 2016 model with the dynamic pack, so has the sports exhaust, do i just walk into Audi and ask? Anyone know the cost?You can quite easily do this yourself.
If like me you have a PFL car then you can order the de cat parts for the 2017 FL model and unbolt the secondary cats and refit the Audi ones.
You may need to re new the exhaust gaskets and locking nuts.
If you have a new GPF model exhaust then I believe you need to map out the sensors on this.

Yes they doDoes the sports exhaust have secondary cats? I assumed that it came without them?
Cheers.
Haha I know chap! Not to worry. I’m picking up a PFL on Saturday and it has the sports exhaust. What will it sound like with the secondary cats out then? Too much?Ha! sorry my reply wasn't very clear. Whether the car has a sports exhaust or not, the car will still have secondary decats from factory.
I have sports exhaust and secondary decats with exhaust valves tricked into being open all the time and cold start is extremely loud and a bit embarrassing. The way around this is a CETE valve controller which is what i'll probably end up buying. It does sound incredible though when driven hard!Haha I know chap! Not to worry.

I have an RSQ3 now with a fully PCW modded exhaust and secondary decats. It sounds mega, but obviously it isn’t a sports exhaust set up like the one on the RS3.
Nice! Do you have any sound clips or videos of it chap?I have sports exhaust and secondary decats with exhaust valves tricked into being open all the time and cold start is extremely loud and a bit embarrassing.

Whats it like with the CETE + Decat in Comfort/valves closed, as thats what i use when cruising on a long motorway journey so don’t want it too loud/droney?I have sports exhaust and secondary decats with exhaust valves tricked into being open all the time and cold start is extremely loud and a bit embarrassing.

Just decat It was the best sounding car I've ever owned even pipping current M5 imho.I have a 2016 PFL and have the Audi oem decat pipes sat in my garage.
I’m still unsure of whether to do the mod as some days the exhaust is so load ( i also have the CETE valve controller) that i can’t imagine what it would be like decatted!

Tempting me this.No video capturing the sound on the PFL ever does it justice.
I have this setup on my PFL and according to mates that have followed me say it sounds mega loud and insane.
I drove through London one early Saturday morning in a business district where the streets are quite narrow and you are surrounded by skyscrapers and the exhaust sound bouncing of the buildings as to be heard to be believed
Oh yeah sounds amazing. My local petrol station (knew the guy well!) could hear me leaving their place for a few miles!Definitely worth secondary decatting then with sports exhaust?
I suppose like someone said earlier in the chat, no video does it justice until you actually hear it in person. Can’t wait to have the sports exhaust though and just enjoy it for a bit before secondary decats. I will definitely do it as I have it on this RSQ3.Oh yeah sounds amazing.

Cheers chap,Miltek and scorpion ones will be just the same as the Audi ones, a hollow metal tube, however the miltek ones had a plaque wielded on them saying ‘not for road use’
Audi ones are plain with just the part numbersView attachment 200164

Part numbers from my Audi ones Naylor
How much were they? By the way I have a pfl model too.I’m sure the will all sound the same, I just bought the genuine Audi oem ones, at least you know they look like they are part of the exhaust system and no ‘not for road use’ labels on them, and fitment will be
Yes still passes MOT.Do the cars make it through MOT emissions tests with the secondary decat ... or am I gonna have to buy my MOT guy cases of beer again?

am i right in saying that the FL already has the secondary de-cats done?
FL model did not require a secondary set of cats as the fuelling and emissions on this engine was changed from the PFL model.
However the straight pipes that come with the FL model are a direct replacement to the secondary cat pipes you remove from the PFL model.
Possibly, still 50/50 on whether to get them fitted to be honest!Would you be up for selling your decat pipes mate?
I’ve got some sorted now chap. Some custom made ones at the place I use luckily.Possibly, still 50/50 on whether to get them fitted to be honest!
