To help you not catch a rash of shit from the s5 guys your never going to make your 4 cylinder sound like a 6 but the general thought right now is anything but apr for exhaust because there exhausts are built like shit from an outside manufacturer there ecu stuff is still good but that's about it as far as deep throaty sound I've heard a lot about the miltech not Sure on spelling for that at the moment but if you do a high flow cat or test pipe plus a good exhaust from whoever you choose you should get a louder throaty sound

 

The S3 is a 4 cylinder and essentially the same engine as your 2.0tfsi. I see no reason why you can't get close to the same sound.

I would have to disagree that it sounds good though!

 

Hey thanks for the reponses!
Yeh i thought it was more or less the same engine. Im havingmine remapped and the tuner says it will increase the BHP to around 250 low end and this is to be proven via a dyno. I believe these engines have been remapped to 280 stock.
Also in terms of the sound.... this may sound stupid, but will somehow adding an s5 exhaust give it that meatier S3 sound?

 

No the exhaust system can't make it sound like it has two more cylinders it's always going to sound roughly the same just different pitch you can't get the rumble sound out of a 4

 

It depends which S3 you are talking about? If its the v6 then no you will not replicate the sound with a 4 cylinder engine no matter what exhaust you put on it. If the S3 was also a 4 cylinder then you should be able to get close to the same sound..

Probably loads of aftermarket manufactures for exhausts. Milltek have a good reputation for Audi's, personally I am a big fan of Remus, had one on my S4 and it sounded awesome...

 

Erm, S3 has never had a V6. Even the previous gen RS3 was a 2.5 turbocharged straight 5. I've a mate on his second new S3 (first was stolen after just 1 month after someone broke into his house and took the keys) and they do sound nice. Very similar to the Golf R. Definitely both 2.0 straight 4s, turbocharged.

Best advice is to remap and new exhaust. If you want to go the whole hog then you'll need to replace the rear valance for the S5 version to allow for a quad exhaust, which Milltek make for both the manual and the S-Tronic version of your car. Details available here. I'm sure that would solve your sound issue, but it's not cheap - in the order of £1300+ plus the bits from Audi and then budget around another £400 for a remap.

Also, are you sure yours is a 179 PS version? There do seem to be less options for remaps for that version as opposed to the 211 PS version.

 

my apologies it was the a3 that was available with the v6...... but whatever engine, a remap wont effect the noise it makes.

 

guys all i want is this fart/ pop noise when shifting gears :'(

I got the quad exit Milltek on my 2.0TFSI A5 and its quite meaty.

I been meaning to get a video with the Gopro attached to the rear so you can hear it as I struggled to find a video of it before I got it.

 

back in the day if we wanted to pretend we had a bigger engine than we actually had we just used a hammer and a six inch nail to bodge holes in the silencer box.

today they are using audio amplifiers and speakers to put artificial engine noise into the interior...

good luck with achieving your aim..

 

Without trying to sound too 'senior' I just don't understand either. The A5 is a nice quality car, why would you want it to be noisy?

 

Lol im not trying to pretend, i just want a meatier sound. Nothing overly loud, just some pops and bangs if possible.

Jamin could you please get some footage! also footage of you shifting gears. Is your cars an automatic or manual? Also does it pop when you shift gears?

 

It doesn't pop I don't think no. Its a manual and I agree with DavidS. I didn't want to make mine noisy just more than what it was. Now has a deeper throatier sound that does not take anything away from the A5 I like to think everything I have done to my car I can still say is subtle, no??

IMHO anyway lol. When I get a vid up I you can see and hear for yourself although a lot will depend on your speakers at home.

 

I just got a AWE exhaust (quad tip) installed and I'm loving it.

Hesitated a lot between that and Milltek and from the YouTube clips I watched, it seemed the AWE had a deeper throatier note.

I also have a EuroCode HFC due to be installed tomorrow and after that I'm going to go for APR Stage 2 remap.

Your car won't sound like a V6 but it will definitely be more 'growly' especially when you open up the throttle.

 

Zed is this the setup yu have:

This setup also has the "burp" type noise.
Im beggining to think this may be a feature of the autos

 

Again, i don't want it to sound loud and boy racer... the s3 does not sound loud and boy racer. I just want it to sound more growlier

 

The sound:

When changing gears:

That s3 is the 2.0tfsi model

 

Mine doesn't sound as raspy. It's more 'growly'. It's a deeper tone. Maybe I'll put up a vid tomorrow so you get a better idea.

In the meantime, these are the vids that helped me decide to go AWE:

That last vid is pretty much the same setup I have and my exhaust sounds almost exactly like that.
