@@Ted.O you may be correct Sir, I’m unsure as I went from stock B8 S4 to IE stage3 a year ago😅 I love what 034M has done with launch control & I’m considering 034M if IE doesn’t clap back 😅
Wait.. that was Mall of America. I live 40 minutes away from there and I go to MOA quite often! That sounds really nice. I never got around to modifying the S4 I had. I had a B8.5 S4 for 3 years, but I was out of warranty and my 2nd kid was on the way. I made the responsible decision to sell my S4 and I miss it quite a bit. I may hop back into another Audi in a few years but we'll see. Other priorities for now.
I have a 2011 s4 and its a really reliable car. Just keep changing the oil every 3k miles and check the thermostat, water pump and pcv valve and after that your car will be fine.
@@jayceclements4327 cleann brotha , I want a manual s4 eventually . I loved it , it lowkey sounds like a gtr with the awe exhaust .

I was gonna go with IE but I gotta do at least a single pulley to get crackles. I have stock DPs, Cats, and mufflers but I have an X-pipe. I wouldn't want to run it all the time but just every so often. I think im gonna do 034 because your car sounds insane and launches like hell.

About you turning Traction Control fully off... Don't ever turn it off on slick/wet roads unless you have space to dick around. When I hotdogged it around a corner to get it loose (entering a 5 lane open road, wet roads), I got the car more loose than I expected an AWD could and had to hard counter-steer then hard counter-correct.

Dumb question as I’m about to embark on a b8.5. Is the “crackle tune” something you have to specifically ask for? Or does it just happen when you go stg 1?
The TCU tune alone is worth more than the crackle. Nothing like shifting that S tronic and running up behind someone who thought they can get away all while having little to no turbo lag.
hey man, i was thinking of following your setup. I was wondering how is ur stock downpipes? Im worried about the flex pipe breaking from the crackles. Thanks
Will you still shoot flames with the same set up but in a manual? And do you know how the advanced launch works in the manual, would you just hold the clutch down instead of the brake when launching?
Where did you get your paddle shifter extensions, if you can post link I would really appreciate it, just got a b8.5 s4 and definitely need to upgrade those asap
Obviously, crackle tunes don’t blow your motor.. they blow your cats. It’s just excess air and fuel out the back, ecu does a hard rev cut and wah lah.. fuel that should have burnt in the cylinder goes into the exhaust. Can you say gas money???
@@nativesumerian2146 people have reported engine issues from clogged cats. That’s what he’s talking about. The 034 tune for cats vs. non cats is probably the difference between ignition cut vs. fuel cut. Ignition cut will destroy cats

Hey, are your crackles still this loud with the new updates they've made?
What updates did they make
??
Wow how did you get it sounding like that😱 sounds amazing
Awe turing
@@Ted.O have you got a full exhaust system?
@@Ted.O how did you get the burble?? Is there a burble option on 034 or it just did it?
034 has built in burble and pops@@edgarisawesome2100
thinking about running this with stock cats. i could care less about destroying my cats. but definitely not my engine obviously. thoughts?
Yea I understand but i wouldn't take that risk man. my advice is gat out your cats or do test pipes.
So do you still have the cats that are part of the donwpipes or are you fully catless
Just a rough average, around how much did this all cost?
Is that stock exhaust?
So far completely stock other then the tunes? No exhaust mods or what?
What paddle shifters are those?
why do you and boosted vqs sound the same
whats your exhaust set up bro ?
hey man, i was thinking of following your setup. I was wondering how is ur stock downpipes? Im worried about the flex pipe breaking from the crackles. Thanks
yea that's a good question, they should be fine but you might want to change them down the line. I still have mine in
@@Ted.O thanks for the quick reply man, id probably take a gamble on this one and run with stock dp’s for the meantime 😅
@@aeroshift no worries man
god damn i got an eargasm😮💨💀🥷🏻
Hey man if you ever see this. With the test pipes, does it clear the o2 cel codes?
is the crackle tune add on or it comes with the stage 1 034 tune?
hello, can you write me what was done in the car? where and what do I need to buy to have such an effect?
You need test pipe, keep you stock down pipes and AWE touring
@@Ted.O thx, How about the ECS - it sounds nice too ruclips.net/video/gLw8CvSNajU/видео.html
@@CenturionMs yes that pretty good as well, I have a video coming for that
@@Ted.O link please
So stage one 034 tune comes with a crackle tune or is that a separate file that you have to purchase?
Yes the crackle tune comes with the stage 1 file, but it only actives in dynamic, sometime in auto
@@Ted.O Do you need test pipes to run the crackle tune file?
@@spencerparker1355 yes I believe its safer,
Need more !
Does the s4 have ajustable burbles, or only one setting?
it doesn't but it changes in the different drive modes.
Will you still shoot flames with the same set up but in a manual? And do you know how the advanced launch works in the manual, would you just hold the clutch down instead of the brake when launching?
yes sir
Is it a B8.5 how many miles on it before you tuned
Where did you get your paddle shifter extensions, if you can post link I would really appreciate it, just got a b8.5 s4 and definitely need to upgrade those asap
sorry for the late respond but they from ECS tuning
Hey bro I got a 2015 S5 technik. How much was this tune? Do you have an exhaust?
How is it, running the car catless? I was thinking about it but I'm not sure I would like the smell.
it does a little bit but, its really not that bad
which test pipes do you have?
JHM test pipes
@@Ted.O do you have a link?
I’m doing a test pipe conversion soon on this tune is there a way to not have the pops on all the time or are the always on?
034 made it so that the engine sound option for the soundaktor is repurposed for enabling/disabling crackles
Hey man how bad is the exhaust smell with test pipes/catless ?
honestly, it's pretty bad in the summer but it gets better in winter
Are you still running with the test pipes? I had them but the smell with no cats was a bit much.
yes, it does but the JHM high-flow cats take care of that.
@@Ted.O Understood, I assume you had to move them further down and extend your oxygen sensors? Did you get any fault codes?
@@KingLouieX there was but 034 Motorsport tune toke care of that
Have you had any issues so far if you still have it
Yes I still have the car and yes it's still tuned and it's really reliable
@@Ted.O what major maintenance have you done so far?
@@jordanr3163 i just did all the engine maintenance, the only thing I haven't done yet is spark plugs and DSG service
Is this Track or Touring? and what downpipes?
Touring
Man how do you drive with all that pop and crackle crap? That cringey stuff lol
thats why the is drive modes so its not like that all the time
Is the crackle tune the test pipe file or is there an actual crackle tune file ?
Asking the same thing
How does your car crackle off a stage 1 tune? I thought its only stage 2 and +?
Im on the race file and i have test pipes
Y’all if you want to run the crackle file you HAVE TO have race pipes , if you do this w/ stock cats you’ll blow your motor like myself 😅
034 gives you the option to chose between test pipes or cats. you HAve to chose according to what you have so you dont break your car!

So your pulley was upgraded too? Or
No just an ECU tune
So does the 034 B8.5 Stage 1 ECU tune come with the crackle tune?
Yes.
how do u get the crackle file tune? are you able to get it with just the stage 1 ecu tune or do u need both ecu and tcu?
You can do just the ECU tune, but I highly recommend you do the TCU at the Same to ensure the safety of your trans.
@@Ted.O thanks bro, yea it just sucks 034 doesn’t offer a bundle cuz i have the a6 3.0 (same engine) so it’s like 1300 for stage 1 ecu and tcu😭
Are you on dual pulleys or just one?
no, its just 034 stage one
After the test pipe install how’d you get rid of the cel along with having the 034 tune? Mines still showing o2 sensor codes
its coded into the 034 tune
what tune do you have?
Im doing stage 1 apr. It is possible to have the same setup for pops with apr stage 1 ?!
I dont think so man, the pops and bangs is part of the file
YUP! Time to trade my a4 b8.5 for an s4 lol
haha you wont regret it
Do these times make your car waste gas? What's the best value?
honestly when you are in dynamic and you really on it yes gas consumption is not as good
@@Ted.O i think I'm better eliminating the pops...i need my gas... Especially at the price 93 octane is going for now
@@cheflos524 i get it but in comfort and Auto is pretty good on gas
