I'll refrain from the obvious joke! Ugh, you're right. If you guys seen my car, you'd string me up. The sycamore tree has gone full ****** and my entire car is sticky like glue and full of bird muck. Well, goose poo to be specific. And it's killing me haha. Cleaning this weekend.
As I said low rev burble and grunt with much louder and deeper bottom end pulling away fast.
Where's the videos???
Screw em!! How's it got all the way over there?

I'll see what I can do. It's definitely louder now.

That in dynamic? Getting a bit of background noise. I'd have to incorporate the services of my lady (no jokes) and trottle off somewhere to get some rev shots. My neighbours wouod green light me at mine
Marketing will make sure it sounds like the B5 I'm sure
Have been following this thread, and thought I'd add my completely unresearched opinion for what it's (probably not) worth.
It's been mentioned that the exhaust valves are closed in a certain rev band, isn't this done to generate some kind of back pressure until the turbo is spooling enough that it then needs to get rid of the gases quicker, in whihc time they are opened?
From memory and younger days a lot of people started changing exhausts to bigger ones with less boxes, but it was found the turbo pressure had to increased and engines started to go bang quickly (RS Turbos).
So the question really comes down to how does this mod actually effect the engine and turbo rather than just increasing the noise? because if it's having to up the turbo pressure to account for the open exhaust, and as mentioned it's logged that the valves are disabled, that's your warranty out of the window, and a very expensive engine replacement in the worst case, or a turbo replacement as the seals are blown.
Like I said, maybe fine, but also maybe worth some kind of test to see how the turbo pressure changes. Also depends on the length of ownership I suppose

I'm sure some better mods will sound great. I'm thinking @EddieRS3 here, looking forward to hearing that. Yes thanks, loving the car. I have some pics i the A5 forum, I won't repeat them here, I will no doubt be breaking forum rules lol. Only got it last week, still taking it relatively easy!
