Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the support! You’ll love it I’m sure. It’s a great part.

Thanks!

local garage to me said that they dont recommend this if you want to have the ability to switch between modes. have you noticed an impact on that?

I'm thinking about deleting that suitcase too but im not sure

I took out the big one at the back and I noticed it drones on the highway. Going to put back and remove two in the front instead

@@kevinspiteri9590 just had the two fronts removed and in dynamic mode it sounds fantastic, as you'd expect it to have come from the dealer when new! The garage said that 2 customers had their rears taken off and both lasted a couple of days before coming back and requesting them to put them back on, it was just too loud.

@@Kendo87 yes that’s what I’m doing today! At 2000-2300 with windows up it is unbearable. So it’s the two in front that need to be removed to simulate what Audi does

Absolutely! I feel the same way. My old B8 S4 (have vids of that on channel) had an AWE touring exhaust which was still over $1k used. I think that the VPS kit really is the perfect sounding exhaust setup for these cars without spending a ton of money.

@@AutoAndrew do you know if the VPS kit is available in the UK? Upon a quick Google I can’t find much. Is it in essence removing front and back resonators and replacing with straight pipe as my local exhaust garage could do that? Car sounds awesome by the way, so much better. I would keep the switch too, better to be able to turn it down if you need to!

I’m not sure - I would send an email to Tony at VPS and ask if he can ship internationally. It essentially replaces the front two resonators with straight pipes and keeps everything else stock. Definitely recommend keeping the stock valves if possible, really gives a lot of flexibility.

@@AutoAndrew Hey Andrew, probably not seeing the link so forgive me. How to I contact Tony to purchase?

@@lilspeedwagon Hey there! No worries, the email is in the description: tony@verstarkt.com

Unfortunately, I do not think it will work with the A5! The A5 and S5 have totally different engines and exhaust setups and this kit is for S4/S5 only. I would definitely think there are other similar options for the A5 out there. Thanks for the support!

Hey! Thanks a lot! I went to GTPeace in Chantilly. They do great work and I’ve had a lot of work done there. Paid around $230 for the install.

Thank you! No drone whatsoever, even with the valves open in dynamic mode. That also sounds right - there was the option to order them on ECS but the wait time was longer than ordering direct from Tony. That might’ve changed though.

@@AutoAndrew Perfect, also have you heard about CTS' mid resonator delete x pipe at all? I cant seem to find any reviews on it and want to see how loud and droney it is compared to VPS.

@@st33d57 Funny you mention that. I was just browsing their website the other day and saw that part. I don't know much about it and haven't see too much feedback on it either, so I'm assuming it's a very new part on the market. IMO, you can't really go wrong with the VPS kit in terms of noise. It sounds great and I have no complaints.

Sure thing! To be honest, I think a reputable exhaust shop would be able to accomplish a similar setup as the VPS kit. In my case, I just wanted something plug and play that came from a recommended company on the forums. It also being reversible was another added benefit. Totally up to you which path to go down, but I can’t imagine an exhaust shop either a. doing it for much cheaper and/or b. keeping the reversible part. Thanks for watching!

Hey been a year but I was wondering how you liked the IE set? Was looking to buy it

No other mods, the rest of the system is stock outside the VPS system. There aren’t really any additional pops, it just amplifies those that were already there. I don’t think there’s really any system that will eliminate them. You may be able to tune them out, but I’m personally not 100% sure.

Correct! Everything after the front resonator delete kit is stock.

Hi! Yes the car has a rev limiter in park at around 4500 rpms. I highly recommend the VPS kit, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks! Unfortunately I don’t have any personal experience with FI exhausts, but I know they are a big name in the business. I do know they are quite a valuable system so if you end up not liking the sound it makes you can probably sell it for a great price. Hopefully that helps!

@@AutoAndrew thanks 👍

Zero drone with this kit. I’ve read that deleting the mid resonator (similar to what an X pipe does) causes a lot of drone. Some people can deal with it but I didn’t want to take the chance. This is a great product and I highly recommend it!

Unfortunately I’m not sure what else you could do outside of a downpipe or full catback system for more noise. I also heard removing the mid resonator creates some unwanted drone too.

@@AutoAndrewhey, i dont really know much about exhausts, but i have the 034 x pipe installed on my 2021 s4 and it has some unwanted drone. is mine the mid resonator delete? if the front resonator delete is different and doesnt cause drone like u said id be very interested in reinstalling the mid resonators and removing the fronts

Check my more recent vids, I’ve done some more mods since this was filmed. Intake, wheels, etc

Nope! No CEL.

I paid right around $280 for the part

I don’t think my kit came with the sealant. Maybe the shop used their own brand during installation, but I can’t recall my kit providing it when I first got it.

No drone!

Good question. To be honest I’m not sure. If I had to guess I’d say yes - probably because if the dealer found the new exhaust section cut/with new clamps they’d probably assume a worst case scenario and void the warranty. I’ve been reading that warranties are very strict these days, but it really does depend on how nice your dealer is with small mods like this.

im pretty sure but only the warranty for the exhaust

Yes, I would assume so. You’ll have to bring the kit to them or describe what you’d like done if you want them to do it from scratch. Any reputable muffler shop should be able to help you out either way.

I believe you can. However, from what I gather VPS ships to those who order directly from them first once parts are manufactured and then distribute to vendors like ECS. I could be wrong, but I do remember it being a longer wait time buying through ECS than VPS.

@@AutoAndrew ah okay thanks
