i was wanting to make my s3 a bit louder without buying a whole new exhaust system, so today I had a vwr r600 air intake fitted and had the exhaust flaps deactivated, but I cant really notice any difference, air filters Ive had on previous cars made quite a bit more noise so thougth id try that 1st, are there any other cheap options that can be done?
suggestions to make s3 louder

You can delete central resonator.

I think is the mod you are looking for.
vwr r600 air intake doesn't make the car louder? I've heard it makes!

Adding a downpipe adds more sound and improves the response but requires spending £300ish on it.
It's practically invisible though.

You would and before you reply to that..... Everyone with this car should get a stage 1 map, it transforms the car from quick to omg this is silly fast!

The downpipe makes the car sound amazing, it's the same sound as stock just more of it.
How it should of been from the factory.
Catted that is..... Not sure what decat sounds like.

This is what I've dine:
Vwr600
Flapper mod
Centre box removed for straight pipe
Dtuk box (no extra sound but more power quicker)
And the car sounds amazing

Can you post a video of how it sounds. I'm thinking of doing the straight pipe. Iv unplugged the flap parts and that did make a difference

There's a post on here somewhere showing you what the clips look like. One under each exhaust. You need to lie down get under the car a bit reach up and un plug them. It's a bit tricky. I think I used tape to hold them up out the way.
There is also a VCDS mod to ensure the flaps / valves stay open if you do not want to physically remove them. It is mentioned here.

Also a video of what the Stock S3 exhaust actually sounds like from outside.
Might be going stage 2 in the next couple of weeks after its service but I'll be looking at a sport cat Scorpion (Revo) downpipe and more than likely the Awe tuning S-Flo intake.
finally got around to getting my resonator replaced with straight pipe, and very happy with the noise,
glad I paid the £90 instead spending loads on cat back system
