Trading in my 2020 STI for a 2020 s4 tomorrow!

how do you like the s4 in comparison to the STI? How much more is maintenance?

Thanks! Definitely might have to give this a shot 👍

Thanks Matt, really appreciate the support 💯

Hard to beat the sound for the price!

The switchpath is such a good exhaust I had it on my Golf R. But you’re right it is a little pricey unfortunately

@@drivenbyboost their track exhaust isn't too expensive and sounds the same. Curious to see what direction you go

@@surfercardude9127 definitely looking into the track option but it’s so nice have valves especially if the car is a daily

Absolutely!

Yes sir had some help with this edit 🙌

Every b9 does this

Oh man that’s going to sound sooooo good with a catless DP 🙏

So you have both the front resonators/mufflers and the giant center resonator delete? I've been thinking about doing the same but was worried about drone. I just want this baby to sound deep and loud like you described.

Thanks dude 👍

X pipe with the downpipe would be a perfect combo! How do you like the cts downpipe?

Thanks for tip! Will definitely give it a try 👍

I just saw this comment after posting mine lmao. yeah as u said when it first starts up even tho it says dynamic but it doesn't make pops and idles lower. really weird design, I thought a remap would get rid of it but after two different stage 1 it stills stays this way.

Front res delete 100%. I'm doing a similar overhaul 2018 B9 S4, tuned, and from what I've read, people get least amount of drone with just the front dual resonators deleted. After watching every video on the internet and analyzing sounds, here's what I believe to be true. The mid-muffler, which is solid piped to the factory valved rear mufflers, does a great job at controlling drone, so if both front mufflers/resonators and mid-muffler are deleted (and NOT straight-piped, but H or X-piped) from what I've read - you can introduce bad drone. Replacing ONE of the two (either fronts, or mid) results in more growl but very few reports of drone. An upgraded HFC or catless DP will only exaggerate the sound you're already hearing, but adds additional RASP and crackle. Coincidentally the upgraded HFC is a Stage 2 requirement means most of the cars you're hearing examples of in rev and launch videos - are already Stage 2 or higher. 034/IE, etc. tunes at that stage (especially TCU tunes) will further enhance that additional rasp and crackle. So, depending on your overall mod goals - I would recommend the following staggered deletion method to make sure you don't overdo it. Start with the dual front resonators deleted, (or replace the front midpipes altogether) listen to it (Soundaktor = 0). If you want more bass, delete next your mid-muffler (with the least amount of bends in those "deletion pipes") at a muffler shop or DIY. Listen to it again, go for a drive, make sure to hit 5th and 6th gear at "cruising" RPMs (2K-3K) and check for drone. Still seeking more savagery, then bite the bullet and find a non-resonated catback exhaust like Milltek or Valvetronic and burn that money chasing the perfect sound. Truth is, the quiet stock exhaust is actually beautifully designed and can support up to 500/600whp - it just doesn't make the same impression as a modded exhaust.

No hard codes or lights on the dash but If you run a scanner you’ll see some soft codes pop up

I got mine from German auto accessories

Since the mechanism keeping them closed is turned off the valves will naturally want to stay open and will remain open when driving. However recent data suggests on these cars when doing so you actually lose some power

@@drivenbyboost Gotcha! Thank you! I wonder if the power loss due to less back pressure

@@jongib6096 not sure, could be. It throws a soft code too so it will only show up on a scan

CTS I think 🤔

Thanks for the heads up Jason we definitely might be doing this in the future 💯

you got any drone with the fronts removed? I feel like this thing drones ever so slightly.

@@kulka89 maybe if you reattach the valves and close them you’d have the option of no drone at all?

@@crazycornuto9 oh so you gonna come on here tell me how to live my life too? hahaha

@@kulka89 Watch out my guy! Ill come to the house and plug em back in without telling you!

its a 7000lbs quick jack sir.

@@kulka89 Thank you Sir. Let's GO!

I couldn’t imagine working like this and not standing underneath 😂😅

This with a DP and I think it would be absolutely perfect

@@drivenbyboost for sure downpipe is a must oem is so restrictive.

Very minimal but slight increase from stock levels. Very tolerable 👍

Nope no codes at all 👍

What do you care

Good point. I really dont care.

How do you pass inspection with dps? Two not ready for testing codes will come up

The supercharged 3.0Ts definitely have a more raw and angry sound to them no doubt

I agree. The b8’s had more of a VR rumble to them.

@@crazycornuto9 B9s have the more euro turbo six sound which still sounds great IMO 🤷‍♂️

Still got the cayman, we have a coupe things planned for it 👍

Dude absolutely. Your set up with the DP and the X pipe I think would be so good together
