It was the torque that really impressed me! Like i said, such a good all around car. - Drew

I am very curious to see how they deal with snow 🤔 I will have to convince Liam to take it out when it snows next! 😂 Wow! All the way from Finland, really appreciate the comment! Thank you for watching! - Drew

I have a question. How does your S-tronic handle 650 NM? I’ve read that the max NM with that gearbox should not be over 550…. How is yours Holding up?

@@tonnithemountainhagopian6471 Well, there is a different s-tronics out there. Depends also which engine they're attached. Older 6 speeds, with 1.6l petrol engine, it's probably that 550nm. Mine is newer, 7 speed, since my car is 2012. No problem at all, runs smooth. 👍🏻

I am still to this day considering purchasing one! Very good cars indeed. Thank you for watching! - Drew

They really are great platforms! The sound is so addictive, highly recommend 😬😂 Thank you for watching! - Drew

That's exactly what I thought! - Drew

Appreciate the support! He has modified it very well. Thank you for watching! - Drew

Thank you! Really appreciate the support! Plenty more to come. - Drew

Thank you mate! Plenty more to come. - Drew

Thank you, we think they really suit the car. Very nice choice going for an RS5! My brother previously owned an S5 and from then I have always wanted to experience an RS5 to compare. Thank you for watching. - Drew

I think he took a risk straight piping it...but it certainly paid off! Really appreciate the support, and really appreciate the positivity. We do try to be ourselves! - Drew

@Hamouda Mohamed purely noise wise. Sometimes when you straight pipe a car they can be unbearably loud, but this is perfect. Thanks Ken

@@accelerateyoutube for me in Germany the risk means high fines from the police 😂😧

Thank you! - Drew

They do sound incredible! That's interesting! So you prefer the Audi over the BMW? Thank you for watching & commenting! - Drew

They do sound incredible! Now that's interesting

@@accelerateyoutube yeah prefer the audi atm as there is so much more you can do as the bmw n47 engine isnt the best due to injector issues and timing chain difficulty

​@@CallMeTwisty530d would be comparable to the Audi 3.0 TDI , bmw straight 6 is where it's at , but the Audi V6 TDI are very good also

Appreciate the support! - Drew

😂 I was sceptical when he mentioned the idea of a straight pipe on such a nice car, but man am I convinced now! I seriously considered buying a 3.0 TDi A5 after driving Liam's, an amazing all arounder for sure. Is yours modified in anyway Shane? Thank you very much for the support! -Drew

@@accelerateyoutube that kind of sound coming from a diesel is pretty awesome really! Only one mod, mine's remapped to just over 300 bhp and in the high 400's on ft/lb torque, but that's it. 57 plate manual, 71K on the clock, best car I've ever owned and I'll probably have her for a good while longer yet! I'd like to point out that the OE clutch isn't great at handling the high torque load after a decent map, so be prepared folks!

@@shaneomoleo Completely agree! When people referred to diesels I always thought of my old Renault Clio 1.9 or my old Peugeot 306 I had many years back that sounded like tractors! They seem to respond very well to a good remap. I was wondering what the torque output would be to be honest as he has yet to out it on a dyno. We were discussing how much power the standard gearbox etc could handle so I think he will certainly be keeping an eye on it all! Thank you again for watching. - Drew

@@shaneomoleo hi mate, I have a 2007 3.0 TDI manual too... Is your reverse gear a bit shaky coming off the clutch slowly?

@@YuriPeriotto hey bud, no it's generally always smooth. Although, sometimes it can be a little less so on cold mornings. Not to the extent it has ever bothered me though, and it's still a damn sight smoother than past cars of mine lol!

@liam sweet I've had the S5 for 2 years now been so reliable so far no complaints. If only the current S4/S5 diesel sounded like this haha more people would have bought it

Sorry to hear you had the same nightmare! Lol If we can help other's from making the same mistake then great! Thank you for thr support! - Drew

tu es très gentil Learning French just for you 😉...I hope that makes sense 😂 Thank you for the ongoing support! - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube Merci 😉. Pas de problème 👍. Je vous comprends très bien 👌 🇫🇷. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

It is such a good example of an A5. Liam is contemplating selling it but I won't let him! Thank you for watching! - Drew

Woooow! From a 2.0tdi? 700nm? Wow

@@thabomaseogane2819I’m wondering how it’s going so far with reliability

Yes, how is it going?

700Nm sounds ruthless all right, dam, imagine thar hauling weight better than a truck, mate.

@liam sweet hes really good at what he does! He made 7 different maps and explained each one. Proper sound guy! Haha glad to know! I do miss the noise 100% I have a 535d e60 pre lci atm DPF gutted and off / egr off / swirl flaps deleted Dynod at jm imports and made 315 at the wheels According to them that’s around 360-370 depending on % you use for transmission loss

Bobby mapped my old 1.9tdi Polo, and will deffo be doing my A7 3.0tdi! Literally a no nonsense guy!

How is your gearbox Holding up with that much NM? I want to map mine to 600 NM but Idk How the gearbox Will hold up

@@tonnithemountainhagopian6471 gearbox held up fine tbh! As long as it’s serviced and you don’t launch it everyday then it’ll be fine. Search Facebook / forums majority of the a5 3.0tdi he does have 720nm and all are running with no issues. To date I have not seen a negative comments about Bobby and his maps. His a4 Avant 3.0tdi is now at 600+ bhp haha

It really is a great all rounder! - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube 😁👍

After filming Liam's A5 I seriously went straight on to Auto Trader to have a look for one! A very good everyday car that certainly puts a smile on your face! I was impressed with the Stance+ Coilovers. Considering they are not a 'premium brand' the quality exceeded our expectartions. (Liam said he has them very low! So it could be raised to soften the ride that little bit more if desired) Keep the DPF and swap it for MOT. Thank you. - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube I've had that auto trader search saved for 2 years now 🤣👌but these brilliant videos mean the stock of those is pretty highly valued + limited! Sounds like a plan 👀 although pretty big job, cheers !

@liam sweet happy to hear ive kept the right choice for years now! Just waiting for a nice model for a reasonable price now, might meet you on some welsh backroads in the future ay haha

@liam sweet great shout! Will do closer to date, how bad is putting the dpf back for mot? Can't have it without the noise if that's the noise we get haha

@liam sweet appreciate the comments! Will save the IG!

These cars are too clean for straight pipes bruh

We look back and cringe a little 🤣. It was one of our first and we had audio strikes, hence the random music. But thank you, much appreciated. The exhaust system was made and fitted by Prospeed exhausts. I'm sure it was straight forward for them. Thanks Ken

I was impressed that a diesel could make me smile in such a way! The sound is addictive! Thank you for watching. - Drew

Hi mate, He doesn't really work with stages, he just got the supporting mods he wanted to compliment a reputable map. And it has transformed the car! He puts the DPF back in for MOT. I bet the manual would be a lot of fun to drive. I highly recommend the exhaust, in person it sounds even better! Thank you. - Drew

@rosscampbell34 It was a few years back, but yes, I believe he purchased it through eBay 👌 - Drew

Liam (the owner) stated "It is obviously firmer than the standard suspesnsion but by no means as harsh as I thought it would be. Plus I'm running it VERY low so could always be raised which would soften the ride." He does highly recommend them for the price. Thanks - Drew

Apologies for the delay. The 034 air filter itself was taken from our Audi TT RS at the time, and fitted quite nicely, but it was just the filter (to my knowledge) Thank you for watching! - Drew

It is a lovely car in fairness. It is literally a straight pipe from the turbo back. Custom fabricated by LongLife exhausts. Thank you for watching! - Drew

How much mm is exh bro?

There isn't anymore you can do there isn't anything else restriciting your exhaust system,. You currently have it set up the same as mine:)

We were blown away by the sound (hence why I didn't stop talking about it in the video lol) Thanks - Drew

It actually wasn't bad! considering they were budget coilovers. I am running Tein coilovers on my 335i currently and i would say the ride is much harder than the Stance+ ones were!

The wheels are 9J ET33. I believe they are replica RS6 wheels. Thank you for watching. - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube thanks 🙂

It has a custom (I believe 3 inch) pipe from the turbo back, no silencers etc. - Drew

@@accelerateyoutube awesome sound and mods congrats. Wish i could mod mine like yours

Do you needed to reprog at stage 2 ?

That's correct. Removal of cat and DPF, air filter and a remap from a reputable company easily pushes them to just over 300bhp (to my surprise to be honest). We have seen dyno results of people pushing between 302-313bhp with the same mods. Diesels certainly have come a long way! Thanks. -Drew

@@accelerateyoutube Wow that’s impressive. Thanks for the response

@@RB26DETT_ My pleasure, like I said I was very surprised to see a diesel perform (and sound) the way it did! Thank you very much for watching. - Drew

It was straight piped from the turbo back. These engines sound superb. Thanks KEn

A modified ttrs is not really comparable to the A5 tbh. I have the ttrs myself and it is, and feels, lighter than the A5 which is expected. Depends what you want really. If you want something very tunable and insanely quick, buy the ttrs. If u want a good all rounder and cheaper to run & maintain, then buy the A5. The TTRS is quite pricey for most things because its an RS. Hope that helps. Thanks

@@ken_accelerate thank you, i mostly asked about handling, as i drive 30miles a day(95%motorways and 5%traffic), so running costs arent that much difference, but when we go somewhere with my car, then i like to enjoy the roads... Ive never driven a lowered a5, or a stock tt (bought mine 1st look...lowered-spaced-arbs front and rear, so stiff as hell) Also i wouldnt buy a manual ttrs (only car, so has to work well in traffic as well, dont wanna pay the clutch tax) Knowing my driving/servicing methods, the ttrs is around 15%more to service yearly compared to my 3.2, but id be fine with it... Also i wouldnt buy a diesel... Close to london i dont want to risk getting fged up by the ulez changes year by year... So id prob end up with an s5 if anything... But theyre still 200kilos heavier... Also on the ttrs id stop around 450bhp (for the dailyabily)

@@UKfromadrone if you want handling then the ttrs is what you want. Mine is on bc racing coilovers and it is literally on rails. I have a manual and it was over 2k for a clutch and flywheel fitted. Anything over "stage 2" is expensive to do, e.g my turbo fitted was around 5k. But 400-440bhp is probably more than enough tbh for a spirited drive

@@ken_accelerate thank you, then i think ill stay with my original choice:D Yeah for that much extra id rather buy a mk3ttrs or a v6s f type... Even now im only thinking about selling the 3.2 because after a week of b road blasting holiday, i realised that 250bhp isnt enough "fast" for fun, and the 6th speed is too short for motorway cruising... But ill miss the musicality of the vr6... And all the looks it gets everywhere i drive it... Also even with full h&r setup it just aticks into corners at impossible speeds... I wouldnt go for coilovers, i had them on my volvo and it was way too crashy for a daily driver... But prob ill go w eibach/mss lowering springs this time

It is a very impressive car! The wheels are 19 inch. Thank you for watching! - Drew

They are brilliant all aound cars in fairness. - Drew

I bought mine 3 years ago with 98K... currently on 133K with only an injector seal that let me down (very cheap fix). Sadly selling mine due to wanting to buy a house, if I didn’t have to sell I would run it to the ground.

@liam sweet hey m8, wanted to ask about piping diameter, do u run 3" to 2.5?

To get to the 300BHP mark, you will be looking at bigger turbo etc. It may be beneficial to get in touch with a diesel specialist (someone like Darkside Developments) they know VAG diesels very well! And know how to get good power out of them! Thank you for watching & commenting! - Drew

That's a very good question! A lot of it is personal taste, both cars have their positives and negatives, but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either! Thank you for watching! - Drew

Hi. Liam (the owner) says the name of the skirt kit in the video and i'm quite sure he bought them on Ebay. Thanks Ken

Just watched your videos, that looked like a lot of work 😂 but it sounds mental! Oh wow! Darkside certainly know what they are doing with diesels! Thank you for watching! - Drew

Well the owner; Liam, has owned a 330d and a few 335is so he may be able to give more info. I have never driven a 335d but have heard very good things about them! Thank you for watching. - Drew

@liam sweet That is a very good point! Lol - Drew

@liam sweet Hey, thanks for the helpful response! Haha very true it doesn't even compare sound wise, that's made it a much easier choice!

@@accelerateyoutube does Liam have an Instagram?

@@drakehunter5965 yes mate: @liamsweets

Ebay and yes they sure are easy install to! :)

@Liam Sweet nice one man thanks

The A5 is more of a cruiser than the 335 I would say. Both really good cars though. I wouldn't worry about being "gapped" by a Golf R tbh. Depending how modified the R is they are very quick cars either way. You may be quicker than a stock 1 in a modded 335 but a 500bhp 1 will most likely be quicker. There's always quicker cars out there. Personally I would say get the BMW, as I prefer them, but the sound of the A5 like Liam's really does make that a harder choice. Many Thanks Ken

Oh my god that is insane! They are strict over here to a certain extent (and you will not pass MOT/safety check with a straight pipe. But I pretty sure we don't have it as bad as you! Where are you from? Thank you for watching! - Drew

He doesn't tend to have any issues with police etc. When MOT time comes around he just puts the cat/DPF back in. Thank you for watching! - Drew

We genuinely have no idea! Lol it is literally straight piped fromt he turbo back. Along with a Remap and open air filter, that is it. - Drew

Cause it's a V6, most diesels anyone hears are 4 cylinder

ebay dude

Have you got a link mate, looking for some decent ones

Unsure of the exact name but they are the newer style Audi RS6 Replica wheels.

About £500 mate £250 for the DPF Pipe and £250 for the backbox delete and custom pipe work :)
