AUDI S4/S5 FRONT (DUAL) RESONATOR DELETE: Worth it? B9 owner install & review!

Рет қаралды 5,211

Күн бұрын

I need this 2019 B9 Audi S4 (also applies to S5) to rumble a bit more. I have read a lot about what works without having to replace the exhaust, because let's face it, the exhaust systems for these cars are a bit overpriced.
I took my S4 to go get the front dual resonators deleted. Verdict?
It's not gonna change your world, but for a small budget-friendly mod, it's likely worth it to some degree.
Watch my review for my feedback and thoughts.

Great video! I have this done on my b9 s4 and The big difference is really on the outside/ behind the car. The insulation inside the car really does mitigate a lot of the change especially with the Acoustic glass, so windows down is the way to go for sure lol I think it's probably a 20-25% increase on the outside, but for a daily driver it's perfect in my opinion because i can cruise in comfort with the valves closed on a road trip or have the valves always open in dynamic (with 034 tune) and enjoy the extra noise. Really enjoyed this content, keep it up!

Hey thank you so much! It was such a basic "mod", but I love watching behind the scenes stuff, so I figured since my exhaust guy will let me film, why not? And yeah I agree with you. Coming from a Golf R, which was def fairly refined but a lot more raw compared to the S4, I had different expectations. And I think you're spot on. Def makes a difference on the outside and a bit on the inside. I can't wait to get the 034 tune eventually. Appreciate you watching and the nice feedback!

@@Emadifications oh absolutely, the tune makes such a difference with the exhaust because it actually makes the valves always open in dynamic. Stock they still fluctuate based on throttle input. I wanted a golf R for the longest time, such a great little rocket hatch!

I'm likely going to do the same. Just want a little more noise (very different coming from an S14 to the S5) without the price of these aftermarket exhaust. I recommend cutting the side of the air intake for more induction noise versus an expensive intake that does bugger all. Drastic difference to induction noises. I also added a K&N filter at the same time, which may have added to some of the induction noise.

Yeah this helps a Teeeeeny bit. Btw I do have the CTS intake. It sounds great but not like what it did on my Golf R. It had a grunt it added on the golf. On this, it mostly just added cool turbo noises. Better than nothing I guess. This car is interesting. Why are aftermarket exhaust so expensive?? Ha ha

Quick update: with the windows down, dynamic mode is def about 20% louder. It actually sounds great.

Looking for the exact same thing on my b9 S5 since I dont want any drone or rasp. I wonder if a decatted downpipe would make it sound the way we want it?

@Emadifications 4 ай бұрын

I have a feeling that would push it over the loudness I would want. Plus the smell in the raspiness could be a potential. But it may work for some people

i recently did 034's xpipe which i believe is what you said center resonator delete and yes there is a lot of unwanted drone. curious if you have any suggestions what i could do to reduce some of the drone lol you seem quite knowledgable about the car.

I'm learning as I go and doing a lot of research. So my thought is one of two options: 1) put the stock resonator in the middle back on or 2) find an aftermarket resonators to replace it with. Vibrant makes some that are good at muffling certain frequencies. That's my next experiment ... Test out a couple well known resonators. 034 x-pipe is def loud from what I've heard. That resonator in the middle back is HUGE. So I imagine it's muffling a lot. So trying to find one that does a bit less than stock but not completely remove it is my goal. I'll update as I figure out. Otherwise, go back to stock in the middle and just do front two res delete like mine and maybe muffler delete. I actually am starting to love the sound in dynamic mode.

Hey man! Have you tried this? Replacing the mid resonator with something less restrictive? I know straight piping that section creates ear rape, so I'm totally looking for a middle ground. Let me know!! @@Emadifications

@@LukaDaudt the mod I did in this video was the perfect sound. It was almost stock with valves closed and minimal drone otherwise. it was perfect. Just deleted the front two resonators. People who delete mufflers are asking for drone.

Did you get an engine light. My exhaust guy told me the two resonators you took off are cats?

@Emadifications 9 ай бұрын

Ha ha no. The cats are way ahead. I took off the resonators in the front. Those are not cats.

@dardash6667 7 ай бұрын

@@Emadifications How did you know they weren't cats?

@Emadifications 7 ай бұрын

Because the cats are very obvious and these are just resonators a little further back

You need to delete the rear resonator too. If you delete all the resonators it sounds pretty damn good without being over the top. B9.5 S4 owner. 👋🏼

@Emadifications 9 ай бұрын

I debated it but don't want ANY drone. I heard my friends with those deleted and yes it sounds good but I need to drive 50 miles one way to work starting next week a few times a week and I don't think I can do that.
