Hahah safe to say I'm a lot more knowledgeable now!

Hey mate, yes they still make this system! This is a turbo back exhaust, even tho in the video mine was just the backbox. www.topgear.co.uk/audi-s3-2-litre-tfsi-valved-exhaust?product_type=exhausts I now have the full system and its loud when open but basically stock when shut!

Not a clue, probably 30 something!

@@supercarkingdom thanks mate. i put like 37 but still felt a bit flat at the front.

@@kbs3631 37 seems quite high haha! What tyres do you run?

Thanks mate! Go for it man, seems like very good mileage!

Full system is about £1k. www.topgear.co.uk/audi-s3-2-litre-tfsi-valved-exhaust?product_type=exhausts&vrm=rf58%20htp Mention you saw it on the video and they might do you a better price!

Most probably down to the price difference, the Z4 holds a slightly more premium price. So they've probably engineered it to have a few more burbles and sounds slightly louder. I've heard many M140i/M240i exhaust upgrades, res delete/gpf delete sounds the nuts without being excessive. Altho it would require some coding if you remove the GPF.

I I mean there's nothing stopping you from getting a different tune on your car or better yet just a different exhaust system. You should get a valve that you can open and close to have your exhaust sound different

Hiya mate, so I ran the cat-back system for about a year and a half, found it perfect. No problems whatsoever with regards to the valve or fitment. It's loud when open, but probably quieter than stock when closed. I made the decision to finally fit the other half of the system a few months ago, and don't regret it one bit, sounds so good when open(less muffled and restricted than the catback) but relatively quiet when closed (baring in mind this is a performance exhaust). There is no drone with the valve closed at cruising speeds, oddly its most quiet 60+. However once the valve is open the full turbo back system is very loud, and pops on the overrun (not on demand like the newer S3 8V DSG). With regards to cost, its hard for me to say! I was working with the company therefore had a contra-deal. However, I'm sure if you got in touch with them, they would be able to help you out with any questions or requests. Getting it mapped will be one of the best decisions you can do. Mine is stage 2, running 350bhp. Even a stage 1 will make it feel noticeably quicker.

@@supercarkingdom Thanks a lot for your quick reply. That's not a problem, I thought that would of been the case, but thank you. I'm sure myself, as well as a few other people who have commented/watched this video, would love to hear how it sounds now with the full turbo back system at some point in comparison to when it was just the cat back system... bet it sounds great! Yes the plan is to go Stage 1 initially and then weigh up whether it's worth going to Stage 2 or not with mine being a manual like yours. Who mapped/tuned yours? Yes I hope so! With R-Tech, they've been able to get 310 - 320bhp & 320 - 377 ft/lbs of torque from just a Stage 1 Remap on a fully Stock S3 with no hardware mods on a number of occasions. But obviously there's a lot a variables.. manual/S-tronic, 99ron fuel, 5w40 oil used, recently serviced etc... I've had the following work done last week in preparation for the Remap; Inlets Walnut Blasted, Car Fully Serviced using 5w40 Miller Nanodrive Oil, Haldex Oil & Filter Serviced/Replaced, Oil Sump Removed & Pick Up Pipe Replaced, Cam Follower Replaced & the Diverter Valve replaced to the newer Revision G variant. So I'm hoping on the day it should be pretty straight forward when it comes to the Remap... 🤞😂 Thanks again for your reply 👍

@@t011md95 I definitely plan to do a short video showing the full turbo back system this summer! I actually purchased my car already with a remap, I didn't know this though, until I contacted the previous owner about it and he said it'd been stage 2 then put back to stock (he wasn't sure if the map had been flashed to stock or not) so I got it dyno'd and it made 340bhp, then now with the turbo back around 350bhp. Sounds like you've done pretty much everything you can do to prepare for a strong map! Defo let me know how you get on mate.

It is surely a conspiracy 😂 when you break the components, and strip the threads then VW will profit by selling more.

Yeah colour grade myself, thanks mate much appreciated!

V6 engine in both cars

Lol, someone probably spilled when refilling. Unless you filled oil all the way up and it's pouring out, it's nothing to worry about.

What I have to do 😂

Here's the link mate! www.topgear.co.uk/audi-s3-2-litre-tfsi-valved-exhaust?product_type=exhausts&vrm=rf58%20htp

Promise you it was! You can see the tips are stock.

@@supercarkingdom it's had a decat or resonator delete

Nope, completely stock before I put this exhaust on. It's now non res with the new system. Obvs I'd know as I had it taken off the car.@@nabeelakram9125

Good point! Perhaps I will try include this in a future video! 100% get one, so much fun, and obvs you get the DSG farts from the S-tronic! My next few mods are hopefully gonna be Revo induction kit, spacers, and stage 1 remap!

Josh Stimson I’ve had a MK7 golf r I currently have a MK7.5 golf R I just can’t justify such a new expensive car as I don’t do any miles. I like the RS3 style grilles you can get and I would consider an RS3 style front bumper.

malakianleon you pretty much have an S3 then? Same engine and a lot say the Golf R is more fun to drive! Yeah I’ve contemplated a honeycomb grill! To change to an RS3 bumper I’d also have to change the wings as the arches are bigger

Josh Stimson I love my Golf best car I’ve owned its such a good all rounder, I’ve had a mk4 and mk5 golf R32 so I miss the noise but unless you turbo or SC it’s difficult to get good bhp gains. I have found a website that does an RS3 style front bumper and grill I’m pretty sure you don’t need wings for it to fit but don’t quote me on that www.xenonz.co.uk/store/p274/Front-bumper-conversion-for-AUDI-A3-S3-2009-2012.html if I was to do it I would obv have a front reg plate and I would find a way to put an S3 badge on it (nothing worse than a fake in my eyes).

Josh Stimson Which brand of remap are you thinking of going for out of curiousity?

Much appreciated!

What car you got lad?

Josh Stimson exactly the same car except mines stronic, that stops me revving as high so could be that?🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice mate, mine still limits revs to 4k when parked :( @@scottalexander6436

Josh Stimson when you drive put your leg on the clutch and it lets you rev the shit out of your car. I’ve done. Just in case you didn’t know

Thanks man, what content would you like to see with this car on CZcams?

Josh Stimson mate I could go on loads of ideas😂 oil catch can, air intake, coilovers, boost gauge, roof wrap, light tints, sun strip, remap etc

@@XxBretterzzxX My only trouble with all of these are cost! I am looking to put a revo intake on it, stage 1, spacers 12mm+10mm, and maybe a walnut blast and oil catch can!

What sort of content would you like to see with this car? www.topgear.co.uk/audi-s3-2-litre-tfsi-valved-exhaust?product_type=exhausts&vrm=rf58%20htp - Check out this link for exhaust. I don't have the downpipe section tho.
