What other ways are there to get fun sounds out of this car?

Thanks Kory. The shift into neutral to rev the engine had me perplexed. Only owned the car a few weeks. Now I have a smile on my face as I put it BACK in dynamic after shifting to neutral! Thanks for the grins!

I’ve owned my RS3 for awhile now and never knew about the rolling anti lag trick! Thanks for the video 😮

Bought 2018 daza yesterday - love it! Really useful info on your channel will give these a try!

I've been waiting for a video on this topic. Excellent work mate😉

I freaked out when I discovered what happens when you floor it at 60mph in D. For a split second I thought the clutch broke or something then I realized it was a freaking rolling launch control kinda thing. xD Nice video once again! Nice to see that there are other people out there too that are trying to figure out the spiritual side of the RS3's sound life, which tbh is a little complicated to understand!

Thank u! That neutral move is huge. More videos like this please :)

Cool share! Now I need an RS3 lol! I've been watching as many videos as I can...current 15' STI owner looking for new snow machine.

Cool video, I’ve had my RS3 sedan since May and already 10k km. Had a stage 1 eTuners Motorsport tune for about 2 months now and loving it, always learning different ways to get the best performance with driving techniques. I’m 50/50 driving in S or D in Dynamic, manual very rarely THB.

My God... that rolling launch control. Thank you for showing me this looks like I'm going to have a little fun after work tonight

I’ve just got my RS3 and changing from s3 to s2 in towns makes one of the best noises IMO

Love it mate. Very sound understanding of all this cars quirks! 👍🏼

First, great video. That last trick I learned when finally being able to pass someone. I knew the DSG wouldn’t kick in fast enough if I just floored it so I downshifted myself and then smashed it. I was like, “wow they programmed it with a passing mode that really lets them know how crazy they made me.” 😂 I absolutely love this thing.

my dream car!

Great video, I bought a valve controller and some of the sounds at low rpm are pretty impressive

The sound is 🔥

Will check back here when I pick mine up later this year 😁👍

OMFG thanks Kory. I got an rs3 recently (i also live in brisbane) and it kept fucking with my head that my car just starts "LC" when i'm just trying to aggressively downshift for a turn but instead gives me the LC sound (as well as just kind rolling at the same speed). I thought my gearbox got fucked. Now that you actually told me that it's intentional LC while rolling, you saved me a massive headache. I kept complaining to audi it kept "holding revs" sometimes when i would downshift instead of actually just going but they just reported back to me that there are no problems and don't get what I am talking about. Thank you!

I noticed one a few times last night in mine. While cruising in 4th gear around 3400 RPM then you downshift, as it blips it pops real loud. Was able to do it a few times in a row. I’ve also noticed it in other gears but around 3400 RPM. Mine is a 2019 US spec (DAZA) with the catless midpipes. I have also tried some of the things you’ve done in this video and they work on mine! 2018’s can pop a little bit more from factory but with 19’s they’ve sort of toned them down a bit.

Hit the nail on the head with these sounds mate. Personally my favourite is just sport auto mode and the downshift from 4>3>2>1 always see heads turning!

Kinda nerdy but 100% awesome. I'm putting my order in soon and I'm so excited. And here I was thinking I was cool cause I can get my S3 to drop 2 gears by double clicking a paddle and this dude turned his RS3 into a pipe organ.

Good stuff man

Haha thanks kory for the anti lag trick I never knew or found it before. I know what Im trying tomorrow morning! Like you said sport auto downshift 3 - 2 can get some gunshot akin to the pfl 8v (albeit rarely happen)

What is this, a fucking instrument? Yes, yes it is.

Literally subscribing and liking to hopefully get you a bit of money so you can mod your whip since it shows you truly love this car 🚗 💕

Hey kory Can you repeat how to make this backfire? I understood 2000 RPM and then one gear down, right? And which mode and manual or automatic setting from the gearbox Best regards from Germany

2 to 3 3/4 throttle is good... but my favorite is full send 3 to 4 and then to 5. On downshift at 100 km/h 4 to 3

TBH ... to make nice noises you need to play with the gas pedal wich makes you go more frequently to the gas station ! Story of my life with my A3 hahaha

I'm a lot more interested in getting the sunroof in my RS3 to stop creaking than I am coaxing new sounds out of it. My brand new 70k Audi sounds like the damn Santa Maria driving around town. I've already had it at the dealership once, but it's still doing it. Apparently the next step involves taking the headliner out, which I'm not even remotely stoked about. It seems really unlikely it'll get put back together as well as from the factory.

The Back fire - so its 2000rpm in 2nd/3rd? Downshift to 1st and hit the breaks? I love that noise. More than the crackles...

How about this: dynamic sport in auto. Upshift manually with the paddle to something fairly unreasonable like 3rd or 4th at low speed. Then as your decelerating, pull back the stick to re-engage auto and have it down shift. **Crack**

You missed out the launch sounds mate..

How often did the downshift crackles happen? Seems like the PFL models do it more frequently regardless of RPM and gear. Will be in the market soon and was set on a FL model but the sound of the PFL has left me undecided.

Add a cts intake and the car sound giggle factor doubles.

Each time you start the car, you need to cycle back through to Dynamic to get ludicrous mode exhaust sounds (or is that just n=my car?).

Might have missed it in the video or comments but do you have any aftermarket catback or dp?

Does the rolling launch count as a launch control in the counter? Since each RS3 only has 200 launches on the tcu?

My favorite type of farts. 👀 🏎💨

Does the 8v rs3 share the same exhaust and sound exactly like the new rs3? I realise the 8v is not producing the same hp. Thanks

I love this video and I love the RS3 for exactly this reason (though my dream car is an RS4).. it's the same as my old Scooby WRX, with a decent stainless exhaust and dump valve, plus the flat-four boxer engine meant it always sounded interesting event at idle and low speeds. The RS3 is on my hit list.. it's a mega hatch/saloon and like the Scooby so characterful with that 5-pot! Thanks for the tips on how to have fun and Keep your licence Kory 👍

When in second gear, around 15-20mph very low revs (Sorry, we Brits don't use meaningless kph) start to depress the throttle and down shit into first. Many times I've had loud pops and bangs from the exhaust doing this. Might have to play around with the speed/revs when doing this.

how much better is the sound of the preface lift (2015-2017) ? Interested to have your opinion :)

Is you car pre or post OPF? I pick my new one up on Saturday!

Does the RS3 have a limited slip differential as standard?

My US spec 18 RS3 use to pop and bang for about the first few months and then the fun noises just vanished. It's like the sports exhaust just stopped being sporty. I tried different fuel brands and driving techniques with no luck.

Im wanting to buy an MT16. do you need to have the sports exhaust for it to sound this way or basic exhaust is fine?

Have you done anything to the exhaust

Hey man i just found this video but i would like to let you know that i have subscribed to your channel cause 1 your australian 2 you live in brisbane near me 3 im buying a rs3 at the age of 20 ahhah

is this post june 2018 so it applies to the 2019s as well?

rolling antilag ? downshift and then full gas ?

The sounds have deadened on the 2017 onwards models. I prefer the crisp pops and bangs of the 2016 model.

How do you do that sound at 3:59 to 4:06 please do a video about that

Does the 2017/18 model have a soft limiter?

My tt rs is same

Not trying to be a partypooper, but the "rolling anti-lag" is just the DSG needing som time to make the gearshift. Thats why its holding back the engine power ;)

That’s anti lag too?? Oh Man. I always thought my car was just over throttling RPMs and trying to change gears to correct me. The video just went from an 8/10 to 10/10

7:28 are your breaks squeal???

that's kidstuff. get a milltek catless downpipe and milltek non-resonated catback exhaust - the car will be shooting like uzi

Iv been told by my Audi dealer ( uk) don’t do more then 4 launch control...

This car does NOT have antilag or rolling launch control lol. You're simply mashing the gas while the car is in between gears, which make the revs jump (because it's momentarily in neutral). Once the car is back into gear, of course it is going to take off. A true rolling launch system allows you to build boost for as long as you need and then launch the car at the exact moment you want. Just like the actual launch control the car does have. And do you even know what antilag actually is? VERY few road cars actually have this.

you missed out on a lot of other different sounds it can make , come for lessons lol

Not just the video but I would love to know why the thumbs down on an obviously good video on a rs3. Nonetheless youtube should keep the feature so we can continue to dislike every joe biden related video. Awesome rs3 video and support freedom by not conforming to socialist agendas no matter where you are on the planet.

Such a bad video... This car makes much better sounds at other drive situations and settings. Greetings from Germany (sedan driver) (should use avc too)
