    72k miles in a S4 B9 and now about to order an S3 sedan

    For what it’s worth, I had an S4 avant B9 and currently have an S3 8Y sportback. The noise is the biggest thing I miss from the B9, even though I’ve got a custom exhaust on the S3 it’s not the same. Imho, the B9 is a keeper and I reaaaaallly regret selling it! Although I can understand the...

    Exhaust valves S3

    Put engine in dynamic 1st. (If it was already in dynamic you may need to cycle all the way through the modes) until you hear the deeper exhaust tone. Then, leave the engine running and unplug the valves. One on either side btw. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Considering a brand new S3 saloon...questions!

    I think once you’ve gotten used to it then yeah the trade offs are worth it for sure. With the S3 being an “S” then the residuals are a lot better (usually) too. The **** absolutely fell out of the value of my A6 so jumped when I could! I’m six months into the S3 now, and after the initial...

    Considering a brand new S3 saloon...questions!

    Hi EcosseA6 I too was in exactly the same position as you. I can out of an A6 40 TDI saloon 68 plate. My A6 had the S-Line 19” wheels, not sure about yours. I’m now in an S3 8y, with the 19” trapezoid wheels. Not wanting to put you off but if comfort is your primary concern then you’ll notice...

    8Y S3 exhaust tips

    Sorry just seen this. Technically it should have been about 2k for the exhaust (the tips are carbon fibre) but I lent them my car for a few weeks to develop on so got stands me at about £500 all in. It’s a thing of beauty underneath too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    8Y S3 exhaust tips

    It’s got about 500 miles on it I’d say, but it gets a little louder once the engine gets warmer too. That was a cold start after 8 1/2 hours standing. When lifting off power in dynamic, there’s no “bangs” but lots of crackles and pops etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    8Y S3 exhaust tips

    Ok here’s a couple of idling/revving videos (soft limiters suck). The 1st one is in Efficiency mode, the 2nd in Dynamic. Efficiency: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0ZtlNwlLaD2Q5f6vsDfYnHikA#Warrington_-_Risley Dynamic...

    I take delivery of my S3 tomorrow!

    Congrats on the purchase, best colour in my opinion too. Wish mine had C&S as the standard stereo is pants so the right move there! I didn’t get to choose my options as it was a stock car already built, so I didn’t even realise for a month it had hill hold assist! (FYI - it’s in the MMI menu -...

    Would be interested to know any sound difference with the R600 once you’ve got it on. Looks the part too, which helps. Yeah I’ve not modded a car in a while now, and now I’ve got the exhaust I may be falling down the rabbit hole! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hi guys, just received my car back (we’ll, on Saturday!) from Scorpion Exhausts after having its GPF back exhaust system developed! Was their 1st one, went for the non-resonated option and it’s opened up the exhaust sound a treat. Will look to get a decent video recorded but for now here’s a...
