@Matt Biro why'd you sell if I may ask? I'm looking at getting on with around 40-50k miles but I don't want it to be a money pit that I'll end up selling shortly. I wanna ride it until it dies.
@@CinemaSteve they are extremely reliable cars unless they were absolutely abused by the previous owner and even then it doesn’t take much to get it back to peak reliability unless they completely destroyed the thing, there is some costs that kind of blindside you, for me personally it was getting test pipes installed, all the performance parts are reasonably priced but because of where and how the cats are located it’s a pain to get to and remove, most shops don’t even offer to do any work that messes emissions and if you can find one I got quoted a little over $1600 just for the labor, and you can expect to be shelling that money out if you want to go past stage 1 on these cars as stage 2 and DP will melt the cats very quickly, other than that I’ve had mine for over a year and I haven’t spent a dime on maintenance other than normal stuff like brakes, oil changes, services, etc. Also super important! Spend the extra cash and buy a b8.5, the b8’s especially with the DSG’s are riddled with problems and if you plan on buying a b8 DSG you can expect to spend just as much money or more servicing the transmission than you would’ve just buying a b8.5, all around really good vehicles and will never give you an issue if you take care of it
Hey! I just purchased mine yesterday. Car is completely bone stock and from what Ive seen some people have little burples everytime they shift like yours and some do not. Is your car bone stock except for the exhaust or what else did you do to get the burple shift?
Aww that supercharger whine, HEAVENLY!
Yes it was one of my favorite cars, great platform
Damn dude I’m waiting for mine!!! I got so much to do and so little money 😭😂

It’s like an RS4 but instead of being an RS4 it’s called an S4.
I can’t decide between the Ecs valves or the awe touring exhaust I just want 0 drone sound but with a resonator delete damn !
Same.. anything work?

DSG causes that. If it’s not happening ur not giving it enough gas during shift
where is your rear spoiler
is it 90mm or 102mm for the exhaust, currently thinking about installing the same exhaust for my b8.5 s4
102mm
stock downpipe?
Yes stock downpipe for now, not looking forward to test pipes once I change out pulleys lol

I’ve heard both in person, they each sound amazing. For the price this is the way to go.
