I'm certainly lol'ing at all the "look how wonderful it is" posts.

Silly really. The RS3 is a wonderful car whether 8P 8V or FL. No need to brag about having the latest as the next one will be along soon and you'll be old news.

Why do people keep saying the pops are gone? They are not....not as much but definitely getting some hard pops on downshift, especially 4-->3. It's especially pronounced with the secondary cat delete which more markets will not even need to remove.
You know what's really silly? The people jumping up and down whining about missing pops and how slow they are, without even having seen one in the flesh.
If only there was someone who's actually driven both could offer their opinion regarding the differences in sound...
Oh wait, someone did over a month ago...
Synopsis: less pops but sounds much better overall. See? That wasn't so hard
Also a good vid to get an idea of sound.

Well I own one and can dispute that then

I'll get a drive in a FL with sports exhaust very soon and will give an honest opinion. I doubt it will be louder. But somewhere close would be nice. It DEFINITELY doesn't pop anywhere near as much (if at all) on downshifts compared to the PFL which IMO is a massive loss. The extra power may make up for this, however.
I'm fascinated to hear this. I've seen videos galore of the FL with sports exhaust (and with decat) and haven't heard any downshift pops and crackles.Well I own one and can dispute that then

I'm keeping an open mind and will test soon enough. Haven't heard any on the videos, though?! Including the guy in America who decatted his and confirmed on his video there are no crackles on downshift (it seemed pretty clear!) Can you explain that?!I agree with thebc2. Plenty of pops when downshifting when in S-dynamic mode.

Hopefully there will be a solution soon.
I'm absolutely gutted to find out that the pops have been removed 100% on downshifts :'(
wait are we discussing that the PFL is as fast as the FL version in a quarter mile, seriously?
It pops, just not as heavy as the PFL
FL will clearly be faster than a PFL over the 1/4 mile.
Pros FL:
Turbo lag: low-medium torque it feels laggier than PFL

The comments for this video are saying Stock Exhaust sounds better than Sports Exhaust??
A quote from Sapient Budget in the comments: 'The sport exhaust is all mid range crackle. The regular exhaust sounds way deeper and has a much better tone at half and full throttle. The stock exhaust is a way better option. Stock exhaust sounds amazing in the car, very Porsche 911 with a rumble. Sport exhaust is not good. Get an after market, don't waste money on the 'sport' exhaust. I drove both cars for a solid 30 minutes. The standard exhaust is amazing. Beautiful thick tone and is plenty loud if you want it. People turn their head loud. But still very refined with some nice pops. The sport exhaust tone is the problem. It's more mid range and after 30 min driving it I was done. Sport exhaust is just loud mid range annoying. Buy the car and live with it for a while, you will be glad Audi lets you put the exhaust in comfort mode.'
That's great.I have 2500km on the rs3 limo now, makes more noise than at the start, but I'm sure it won't go any louder without any adjustments.
Just install software if you want the old rs sound back, I'm sticking with this. Never like the PFL sound anyway
That's great.
You might be one of the few FL owners on here who have done decent mileage.
Any issues at all?
What would you say would be the simplest fix to this to keep the valves open at all times. Or what would be the solution and cost of being able to control the valves?So I checked underneath the loan car I have with a standard exhaust, it has no secondary cats which I have been relieved to see.
The car is loud enough with valves unplugged even with the standard exhaust, I mean cabin noise now and is pretty loud sat at 70. I can't see me wanting to take the silencers out, if I do I will likely be glad of me being able to operate the valves with my remote.
Having the car control the valves is just an absolute no no, because they are shut all the way through second gear and it ruins any noise you can make in the streets.

Even in Dynamic and Sport?
That would explain why, in my review, I said the car generally sounded poor.
I will go out in it again and just focus on the actual sound it makes and not try to compare.
How much do these remotes cost?

For the 8V Audi S3 Im guessing something very similar to this if this will not work for thr RS3?...
The exact same system should work, identical setup and mine will be going on my RS3.
Assume this won't affect warranty? I know how Audi can be and this isn't something I've done before?
