@@ToeCutter69 You're right, it's not much better than the Audi Sport exhaust I have on my new RS3. If it was a couple of grand, maybe, but five grand for such a small improvement, no way.

@@ToeCutter69 yep, and in the US the rs sports exhaust is only around 1-2k added on the order for the car. Definitely not worth the akraprovic in comparison
@@ToeCutter69 I've had my RS3 for a year now and is has the optional Audi sport exhaust. It's actually for louder and is now even giving out the odd crackle and pop. I think people are too quick to dismiss the stock system. It was the same with the TTRS I had, that improved a lot over time. The Akrapovic is way too expensive for very small gains in sound and sound quality.
What’s the warning for that’s shown on the onboards? It’s one menu to the right shown as the exclamation mark in a triangle - the text isn’t showing to clarify… What’s the error?
Try driving the new one, it is way better on every level. I've owned all iterations, right up to my new 8Y RS3 and it's the best RS by a mile. The older cars were quite poor in comparison.
Don't be daft. Destroyed? Have you even driven one? Thought not. It's only at low revs where it is muted and that's a good thing in my opinion. Not everyone wants to sound like stupid boy racer. Had my new RS3 for 4 months now, love the sound of it - just right from the cabin and not too loud that you look like a some tosser looking for attention. I owned the previous RS3, pre OPF and I hated the stupid bangs and farts it made. The new RS3 is more of a grown ups car and it sounds just so, lovely. Try driving one... and you'll also notice a night and day difference in handling/performance compare the rather lame car it's replaced.
@@mauricetoussaint7283 Thats good then. hope you're right. I had one as well and pre July 2018 with the opf changes the car sounded wicked compared to the vids I see of the 8y.
Ooh that’s a bit of a stretch - the 4 pot in the s3 sounds terrible. The s3 can be loud but loud doesn’t mean it sounds good. You’re right to an extent - the rs3 should sound better than it does. The rs sports exhaust makes a negligible difference to sound in the 8y sadly.
Great car, great color, meh exhaust. AWE sounds better imho. AWE makes some of the best out there today for almost anything they put their hands on. European aftermarket exhausts all sound, meh at best.
I have driven RS3 with MT exhaust 460hp, 580nm and I was very impressed by the MT's exhaust - wow loud beast. BTW Akrapovic is louder and have more pops than MT so... You should hear the exhaust irl then ;)
Too expensive, power gains are negligible, and it's not a full titanium system, and it's not sounding great, as for so these pops and bangs etc, it's just not worth it , turbos fecked in no time, was the same with als years ago, great in a world rally car, rebuilt or swapped out after every event, at the teams expense, but on road cars, forget it, unless you like scaring pensioners, pedestrians, no one who knows is impressed guys , just grow up eh ❤️
Sad that you have to pay thousands and thousands of Euros to make the beautiful I5 sing like it should have from the factory.
The ecocommunists try to block any fun you can have with cars.
And get real exhaust tips..
How much does it costs to have it?
idk a handsaw is like $6 at tool shop haha

The OPF kill the Sound!!
no shit sherlock
it still sounds beautiful (not very loud, but beatuiful)
three welded pipes and one valve priced at 5.5k

That system is nudging £5.5k. I'll see what my bonus is like before considering one for my car.

Open doors thats the mark
Is this full legal for EU beside the valves control ?
Yes, it is.
All is legal if you paid thousands 💶
We like it ❤️
The best rs3 is 367ch 2016 and 400ch 2017
Yessss

@@luciussander8217 Can u tell something about interior quality between 8v vs 8y?
Catback or complete system exhaust?
What I hate, (which is true to most OPF-cars) is that is absolutely no sound at idle. Nothing!
Which is what I like. I only want to hear something when I am moving, not sitting still or when starting the car, that shit is for boy racers.
@@luciussander8217 agreed. Even my Trackhawk is quiet when i want it to be.
Literally a mini lambo
nice video!
Thumbs up :)
Where do I buy the carbon fiber rear diffuser in this video!?
Pretty sure they are still on back order
At AwesomeGTI
What makes up this system? Cat back? Are the OPF’s in or out?
It's fully homologated slip-on system. OPF back.
Sounds so good that if I was out and about and I heard that noise and turned, I would be disappointed its just a hatchback.
1:07 this sound is real ? Or you modified something of the car ? Or Where can I buy this system ?
Imo it‘s real. I recently bought a 2024 RS3 8Y with the stock sports exhaust from Audi. Every so often it has exactly these pops and bangs at startup.
Why tf don’t we get the sportback
Prop rod?
why are the brakes squeaking? 😢
Ceramic brakes
Probably has the dynamics package so it has the carbon ceramic front brakes
that revving at startup needs to be stopped 1:15 I hate it when dealers does this trying to impress little boys.
They Destroyed the Rs3 when it comes to sound this days old is way better than new
Then buy you an old one ;-)
It is because of the EU regulations.
Agreed 😭😭 I’m selling my 8 v sportback for 8y sedan …I will regret it for sure 🤣🤣🤣
@@lalap2fun Forget it, except the sound the 8Y is way better than the 8V.

I dont hear difference….
No worthy sound. Another downpipe including removal of OPF/GPF will make this RS3 singing loud. Still waiting for ECU crack.
😍🚗😍
Quiet
Sounds bang average. Even the s3 8v sounds better imo. Seems like Audi Sport have lost their way 😔
It's better sounding than an S3 8v, come on... I had one of those, hardly a firecracker mate.
