    Best way to get more noise from an S3

    Fitted the BCS delete pipe yesterday and can confirm that there is no done at around 3k rpm or any other revs!

    Wind noise from drivers window

    Just got my DTUK box

    Trade in prices

    I traded a manual S3 3-door with 32.5k miles 20months old for £21.2k, which just happened to be equal to the settlement figure!

    Post Pics Of Your A3/S3 8v In Here

    Hmmm, will have to look into this, might have to be my next project! It certainly feels higher than my last S3 which was 3 door non mag ride on 18" wheels.

    Yea, was unsure whether to put one on or not. Strange thing is that it's barely noticeable unless you go looking for it!
