- A few clips of my 2018 B9 Audi S5 Sportback with resonator delete. Engine is stock for now but will be upgrading to Stage 1 shortly. Expect more videos comparing stock power/sounds with Stage 1 plus. Enjoy and subscribe for more content like this!
Fantastic video man, thank you!!!
No problem!
With the resonator delete, have you had any concerns regarding droning, especially at motorway speeds?
Nah it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe a tiny bit around 3-4k rpm but it really isn't an issue in my opinion.
@@adamenglander do you get any drone when the valves are closed?
thinking of getting the vps res delete kit, is the sound noticeably louder? i like the initial cold start on the car but then after that it quiets down quite a bit
Yes car is for sure louder and sounds much more aggressive when driving. For the money, it’s hard to beat.
are the resonaotrs on this car the mid muffler ? or the ones closest to the tips? also if u take off the mufflers closest to tips will u effect the active exhaust
Mid pipes yes, I don’t recommend removing the muffler that will give you serious drone.
What do you think about those OEM Audi Sound Enhancing Resonator Kit? It's about $1000, but I keep seeing everyone doing resonater deletes. I am confused about it.
I say pass on the OEM kit from Audi and go with the resonator delete for a fraction of the cost. Looking on the Audi forums it seems like some people have got the kit and not noticed much of a difference. With the resonator delete I noticed a big difference right away and only spent a few hundred bucks.
@@adamenglander Thanks, so is the kit I mentioned just a different set of resonaters from the factory?
The resonater delete, is that a specific kit from a performance company or just having a muffler shop cut them out of your setup?
@@pgmallon not totally sure as far as the kit but for my res delete the shop cut out the resonators. You can also purchase a kit from VPS. The audi forums have a bit more info as well if that helps!

@@adamenglander Thanks!
Is this the Audi one? Or aftermarket?
Aftermarket done at a local shop
how are ur lowering springs holding up, i want to get one but i worry about damaging the struts
No problems, springs have settled nicely!
@@adamenglander are there any cons to using lowering springs? i was told it can really wear our the struts by like 100k ( i have 60k on mine right now ) also how was the installation if u did it by urself, or if it was done by a shop how much?
no rubbing or anything with the spacers? i have the spacer but still apprehensive about getting lowering springs aswell but i love ur fitment and really want them
@@taco_yunior I am not really concerned with long term as my car is only at 40k and will most likely upgrade those parts at some point in the future. There is always some risk but pretty minimal in my opinion. Had it done at a shop, don't remember exactly but around 1k plus you have to get an alignment.
No rubbing at all! Springs made some noise at first but after a month or so settled and now I don't notice a thing. Springs + spacers is for sure the move if you want the sexy stance ;)
What spacers did you use?
@@fluidgeek 12mm spacers front 15 mm in the rear. Not sure on the brand of spacers but I got them through nemesis auto sport. Hope that helps!
Omg dude I JUST came from a dealership test drove this same car same year, with 55,000 miles and it FLIES
Oh ya these things move! Super fun and practical car.
@@adamenglander what common fail points should I look out for on this model?
@@danielchapter70128 some of the early B9s have rocker arms that can fail. If I was you I would avoid the 2018 models and go for the newest you can afford.
Does the petrol V6 always sound that ticky
What spares and springs are those?
Spacers*
034 dynamic lowering springs, 12mm spacers front 15 mm in the rear. Not sure on the brand of spacers but I got them through nemesis auto sport. Hope that helps!
@@adamenglander that is the perfect ride height!!
@@j12lkg Thank you, agreed!
8 zp automatic?
ZF 8 speed
Front resonator or x pipe?
What’s your budget? Res delete was only a few hundred bucks, definitely worth it imo.
@Adam Englander do you get a lot of rasp from the Xpipe, looking to see which is better. Front or rear resonator delete.
@@craiglou0528 Definitely not raspy, I deleted the front 2 and to me the sound is perfect especially now that it is tuned.
@Adam Englander good to know , I am about to delete the rear resonator. But I didn't know if doing that would be raspy, I'll get the Xpipe.
@@adamenglander would you recommend front res delete or rear I only want to do 1
