It’s not an issue for me with it being an MOT failure. As The guy who owns the exhaust factory is a close family friend. So it’s only a 5 minute job to put the resonator back in. All I want to know is, will deleting the middle resonator make a big difference to the noise factor? Also thinking about deleting the back box too. Do you think just doing the middle one will suffice?That and an MOT failure most likely - not the best idea going! The RSQ3 makes a great soundtrack in Sport mode (valve in the tail box is open) - downside is that passengers tend to look nervous.
The neat thing to do is to fit an Exhaust Valve Controller from Cete Automotive. You have options then via Drive Select - in Comfort mode that valve stays shut on start up - great for a quiet departure in the early hours of the morning. In Dynamic mode it's permanently open and then you have that fabulous 5 cylinder howl for company and the car still looks stock - perfect and an eagle eyed MOT tester isn't going to be an issue.

Best buy one before the UK crashes out of the EU and you have to pay import duty....
Paul at The Phirm fitted mine (put in EBC Redstuff pads at the same time) http://thephirm.co.uk/
Yes, will have a look with the exhaust manufacturer when we get the car up on the ramp. It may be sufficient enough just getting rid of the middle resonator anyway? What do you think?If you delete the back box then the Exhaust valve controller will need fixing in some way - I believe the RSQ3 won't rev past 5,000 rpm if it thinks the valve is closed - the Cete AVC opens it automatically if driving in DS Comfort mode.
Good luck for tomorrow, hope the rain doesn't spoil it too much!Picking the car up Saturday and I cannot wait now!
Cheers chap. I know me too!Good luck for tomorrow, hope the rain doesn't spoil it too much!
Anyone know where I can get some wind deflectors from for the RSQ3? I’m really struggling to find any.
Says not when I try to buy them on eBay and go on the link that says ‘will they fit my car’.Would normal Q3 ones not fit? I didn’t think the doors were different on S/RS models?

You reckon they will though? Don’t know if I can be ***** with the hassle of sending them back if they don’t.I wouldn’t believe what that says, it’s told me wrong many times. If i was you I’d buy them and if they don’t fit just send them back and start searching again. I’m 99% certain they would fit

Good point chap. Must be the same then you reckon.If it was me I’d buy them, main reason I assume they’d fit is that I can’t find a set or SQ3 or RSQ3 ones anywhere online and also that I doubt the door are different shape/size than a Regular Q3, if they don’t fit it’s only £30... RSQ3 owner I’d guess you might have £30 sparebut also if they don’t fit just send them back or resell them on here and take a £10 loss

Do you have a link for it chap??I found my RSQ3 to be a wow Too, Ha Ha, Good cars, Re wind deflector, Look at luxgrill fronts only £25.45 to me these are best on there, Im getting some.
I know but it’s so expensive!! Just for a stage 1 map. It’s £599 plus VAT isn’t it? Works out at like £720. When can get the tuning box for near on £300 cheaper with very similar figures.Revo remap - get it done properly.
I can imagine as it already drives brilliantly. The TDI Tuning boxes get rave reviews though. Can get quite a bit for your money also.It is strong money I agree....supposed to make the RSQ3 drive beautifully though.
I’ll have a look. Don’t think I’d be able to do anything without having a remap though would I?https://www.supersprint.com/ww-en/p...5-tfsi-quattro-310-340-hp-2012-2013-2014.aspx
It would appear so - Supersprint do pipework for it.
How much are they chap and do you have a link to one please?Just fit an AVC - when the noise becomes a bit too much (i.e. on the motorway) you can just use DS to select Comfort mode and sort it.
Jesus! That’s expensive, is there a cheaper alternative?
How much do you want for both chap??I'm cha bing my car at the end of this week coming, my exhaust was modified by PCW and am offering it for swap for a standard system plus cash my way. Also will have a valve control box for sale. Also 4x 15mm spacers with bolts
