Agreed
I remember when I stuck the res delete pipe in the G7.5R...... it actually hurt my ears with the flaps open all the time.
In the end I reverted the flaps to standard and then sold up
yep... I have no left my Active Valve Controller off the car, no longer need it as the map has added some extra noise.
I think Brian can concur, the cars sound incredible from behind (to the carrera 4S's disappointment last week) (we were only plodding along, honest )
As good as the AVC is at switching valves open and closed on a whim with the ESP button or via ADS modes, when open, the deeper bass note of the FL exhaust gives drone that feels like it can bursts the ear drum (not volume but deep bass that is actually uncomfortable), so I got bored switching modes or the valves to avoid that drone and just leave them as stock now, more than happy. I'll put the AVC back up for sale at some point.
You just changed the exhaust?Well I am totally lost for words, the car is on another planet now.
The pops and bangs are as loud as a PFL when blipping at idle, too loud to abuse it outside the house.
You can hear the exhaust note with minimal throttle input, whereas before you needed to have a heavy foot.
It consumes the environment it is in, no need for walls in close proximity to you to get the full experience.
I find a lot more people are turning to look, even before the car is in sight.
So much deeper, the engine note has changed throughout and it sings at high revs a lot more than it did before.
Drone; yes there is drone. My valves are unplugged and that's the only way I've driven it, under heavy load the drone is the same as the S3 with a res delete, loud but perfectly liveable. Motorway at 60 it is silent, at 70 on flat ground it is quiet.. come to a steep incline and you can hear the engine note but it isn't ridiculous.
Absolutely no regrets, fallen in love with the car quite a bit more after hearing it today. Total different animal. You get little pops on downshifts too.
Happy happy AudiNutta!
You just changed the exhaust?

Shift indicator. It comes up when U engage manual mode to assist with optimum shifts and also to prevent hitting the limiter.AN... what’s the little yellow marks that come up on your rev counter when you get right round in the rev range?
Stick left and use paddles!AN... what’s the little yellow marks that come up on your rev counter when you get right round in the rev range?

Hope you wasn’t breaking any speed limits there audinuttacar sounds good mate glad you have got the results you wanted
Shift lights in manual... well that’s something I’ll be checking out today! Cheers fella’s
Do it, it’s awesomeEspecially when it flashes red close to the red line, but don’t hit the red line because it’s brutal the way it pulls back
Ok, it’s time to panic... I don’t get shift lights when I manual... what’s going on? Is there a setting to knock it on and off? If mines broke, that’s it... I’m taking it back and kicking off... it’s just not on!
Are you sure? Yours should absolutely have it, all new RS models with Virtual Cockpit have it!!
Amazed you don’t. The gear lever was to the left yes?
Yep... the gear lever was every which way it could be... I tried everything... I must have looked like a right tit trying to get the shift light onI’ll have to have another play tomorrow haha
The VC has to be in Sports dials option (central rev counter) and the car in dynamic, gear change using the paddles.
Redline it man, you're probably not over 4k revs
Exactly what I tried for a couple of the goes and nothing... I’ll have to have a play around again tomorrow and see if I’m just being daft and figure it out
Haven’t been in the car for a few days but was out for a drive earlier on... anc I can report back that the rev lights are there and working like a dream... I don’t nothing different to last time mind... so not sure what was going on there haha
I think TX called it
