Ive been reading up on the fix for the RS3 tin sounding rattle coming from the exhaust valves.

https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/818892-RS3-left-exhaust-valve-rattle-DIY-fix

I have a similar sound on my S3 but a lot less noticeable than the vid in the link. But I’m wondering if there is a similar fix for the S3 8V PFL? My plan was to replace the exhaust with a valveless system seens that Audi say the sound is unavoidable and the only way to fix it was to replace the entire exhaust but they said it may happen on the new system after a few thousand miles.

Anyone have any experience with this? I could live with the sound to be fair, it’s a bit of OCD really!
