S3 Exhaust Change

[Milnesafc]

Thinking about changing the exhaust on my FL S3, just wondering if anyone has any advice on best system to get.

Also does this have any impact on warranty and have people seen a marked increase in insurance costs?

Nice !!

What did you go for valved / resonated / tips ?

I'm running the non valved,non resonated Milltek exhaust on my FL

Barely louder then stock. Once I add the downpipe I'm sure it will be way louder

I have black tips no res valved cat back!

I've only got DP/sportcat into standard (OEM) system. Sounds just right for me, growl/burble on initial startup is delicious!

I'm contemplating getting the scorpion non valved and non res to go with my scorpion de cat.

But I like the sound of the OEM exhaust with this set up.

On the warranty issue, check with your dealer how they feel about mods. I have 2 dealers within reasonable distance to me and I found one didn't want to hear it whilst the other didn't care in the slightest

My mate has a scorpion resonate non valved cat back, apparently scorpion don't do a non res non valved cat back as it's too droney. His sounds good though.

Had to get rid of my car unfortunately, which means my BCS Powervalve Catback is for sale..

OEM S3 8V tips plastidipped black to give an OEM+ look
Fitted for 1 year - No damage (Will take some pictures when I get the opportunity)
Sounds absolutely fantastic!! Anyone that has heard one in person will vouch in saying that the tone is just spot on. Subtle driving around 'normally/sedately' then on boost it sounds borderline anti-social!
Just do a google search to see the amount of positive feedback the BCS powervalve system has & (how it works if you don't know).

RRP £1400 (Inc. customisation of wanting OEM tips)

£700

PM me if you're interested - If no interest then I'm tempted to keep it just in case I might end up buying another VAG product in the future.

Had both a BCS exhaust and a miltek on my focus RS as various times and the BCS quality was far far far better than the miltek in my opinion. SO BCS would get my vote.

Milltek ! Really loved the quality of my last system, if I decide to do my S3. It has to be a Milltek

 

[Rob2k68]

Think I'm just gonna order the Milltek been toying with it long enough.

Do it Rob, worse thing you can do is toy with the idea of buying something! I've been like that with the Sonos Play:1, decided now I'm just gonna get it.

Today I had some "happy-drive" and i need to change the exhaust. the stock is good but is not louder enough! certainly i'll go for the REMUS, that seems the greatest for the sounds. i also like the stock exhaust tips and Remus has this https://www.remus.eu/media/catalog/...6e8a55728e79b48334e699243c07/0/0/0026_55S.jpg

[MikeParkin]

De-cat sounds good.

 

[SeoTFSI]

De-cat is penal here in Italy.. is not the best thing to do

milltek and quality in the same sentence? Haha I had two on my 8P and had to get both rewelded and the second one the baffles in the back box collapsed

What about just a resonator delete?
