Is there any way to get rid of the pops and bangs the FL S3 makes in dynamic (and dynamic exhaust in Individual)? Like in vagcom or something?
There's a few reasons I want to do this, mainly because I like driving with my windows down in dynamic (usually dynamic exhaust in Individual and comfort everything else) because the exhaust makes a nice burble... but with this comes these pops and bangs after acceleration. Which would be fine but round here you get this same overrun fake banging on 1.0 Corsas and similar ilk. In fact, near my house a group of cars go every night and just sit revving their cars making them bang, sounds like shotgun blasts...every night.
So it's somewhat embarrassing when my car does it when I overtake someone or such, I bet any pedestrians or other car owners think I'm one of the nobs who do this locally.
I recently went past a Community Speed Watch group, despite them hanging out in a NSL zone and me not exceeding the NSL, my exhaust happened to bang on the s-tronic upshift into third (partial throttle) before I saw them...one of them shouted something at me I only heard the last part "******" and a week later I received two letters saying I was caught speeding by them twice...on the same day... having only passed them once...and not actually speeding... and so my vehicle details have been sent to the "road policing unit" whatever this means. So the loud exhaust bang has already got me into trouble.
And thirdly at some point I want to do a sport cat, and I believe that extra fuel on overrun to cause bangs actually wears out a sports cat quite quickly.
So is it just a case of turning something off, or is it part of the ECU map? I would guess the former as in comfort it doesn't do it (but in comfort you get fake noise that sounds like a golf VR5 and the valves don't open properly).
Thanks
