Holy cow that thing souds soo good! I own a different inline 5 cyl (VZ5) and i'm currently waiting for my tune (DP+IC+ECU tune) but man, i just can't have enough of that sound on videos & in real life :D
Great job on the 8y exhaust, sounds awesome, my 8y is fully stock but one day I’ll pull the trigger on a mod like this, thanks for you’re motivating video
Just ordered the Switchpath for my 24, I already have the unitronic mid pipes installed.. Can't wait! Also, in regards to other people's comments about the AWE clamps, have you noticed any issues?
Obviously it's going to sound a lot better on the outside, but in the interior, the RS3 already sounds perfect, even if it's amplified sounds from the speakers or just some fake sounds added in lol!! I'm only concerned about how it affects me from a driving standpoint, and guy's that owned the 8V says the new RS3 sounds better inside the car, which i find very impressive!!
Both. The AWE made the car sound very good. Then the midpipes just added a bit more volume when the valves are open. So this combo is the perfect setup
Sounds amazing! Love your content mate. Random question, I have the same one as you and sometimes when I’m doing 60 miles and above (cruising in low RPM’s), and then give it significant throttle, it kind of just spasms almost - and will then lurch and then find its gear. I had this on my 2023 S3 too. Nobody seems to have an answer on this but I’m hoping a tune would fix it? Seems to be some sort of transmission defence mechanism?
Hmm, I know for me if I'm just cruising and then flor it, it will have to downshift into a much lower gear and then it accelerates very fast. So you might just be feeling the car downshifting aggressively
Sounds good, but please be aware that the clamps that AWE provides are junk. People all over forums have had problems with AWE products leaking at the band clamps. Spend 300-400 dollars more and get a GRAIL exhaust imported from Germany. The GRAIL sounds better than this!
Thanks for the video. So you removed the two OPF(cats) and didn't need a remap? No engine lights? I was told there are sensors there and if you remove them they will be detected and a remap is needed. Is this not the case
How do you think a straight mid pipe setup with stock exhaust behind it would sound? Also would this setup pass emissions? Live in Cali so that’s important 😅
Should sound pretty nice overall! I'm not sure with California. Everything seems illegal there lol. Depends if your inspection person looks under the car or puts anything in the tail pipe to read the exhaust fumes
I have the stock exhaust with a mid pipe kit on my 2023. It does sound a little bit louder, deeper tone, and you can hear the dsg pops when hitting it harder, but it's not super loud. Don't expect it to sound like you have much of a modified exhaust system. With regular cruising, it still sounds stock.
That's just the stock tuning and how it sounds with the exhaust setup. I'd assume these would all fit. But I'm not too sure. AWE doesn't ship outside USA and Canada. But I'm sure the midpipes you can find anywhere and they should fit both versions
probably not. 8Ys are stupidly still selling over MSRP keeping value a bit high. Supras about a $53-55k car new, the 8Y is a $65-70k car new. Maybe if you find one with 25-30k miles on it
Depends on mileage. But our RS3, we paid $65k. Used market we could sell it for about what we paid. My manual Supra would probably sell for about $63k on the used market. An auto Supra can be bought anywhere from $45k+. So would depend
Depends on the dealer. We got ours for sticker. But it was an 18 month wait. Used market these go for about MSRP or $5k more. Manual Supra on the used market would be about this price
@@alqatary07 The stock intake you can hear it a bit. I added a valve adapter to connect the hose to the new intakes since the current intakes don’t have the same pipe as previous generation. But a new intake will add all the sound. Or you can get the diverter valve spacer
honestly, until we can get a downpipe, this car is far too quiet. The stock downpipes is choking the life out of the car. Waiting to pull the trigger on my 485 exhaust (3.5" to 3" exhaust) until we get full open capabilities. Sounds nice of course, just not rowdy enough.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah...I will say your video tempts me to pull the trigger, even if its not 100% what I want at the moment...maybe Ill be happy with the volume *shrug*. Like I said though, it does sound good man!
I have the same setup and I love it!
Nice! Definitely a great sounding car now!
Holy cow that thing souds soo good! I own a different inline 5 cyl (VZ5) and i'm currently waiting for my tune (DP+IC+ECU tune) but man, i just can't have enough of that sound on videos & in real life :D
Oh sweet! Yeah the cars is crazy good sounding in person especially
For an Audi this size, I've never thought i would hear this one sound this good. Thats why I always call you the guru of exhaust upgrades 😂
lol it sounds awesome! Perfect setup now!
Car guys love bridge/ tunnel , I take a longer drive just to drive under the bridge so I can hear my exhaust ❤️
Oh yeah! Not too many around!
I love this car and it sounds like a beast!!
Yeah it's insane with the exhaust now!
I’m doing the same setup when I get mine in September. Getting the exhaust stuff now haha
Nice! You'll love this setup for sure! We have quite a few RS3 parts on our website ;)
@@BrosFOURRSpeed dont worry, ill support you and order off there! =]
We appreciate that! Such a fun car to upgrade!
Great job on the 8y exhaust, sounds awesome, my 8y is fully stock but one day I’ll pull the trigger on a mod like this, thanks for you’re motivating video
Thanks! Yeah it's a great setup for sure! Youll love it
Absolutely beautiful color
Thanks! Turbo blue really pops!
I have the same setup with unitronic midpipes! Sounds amazing!!
Sweet! Sounds so good!
You should try the Bull X
Love the sound!
For sure! Really woke up with the full exhaust!
Sounds so mean!
I just picked up my 2024 RS3 a little over a month ago from Audi Charlotte.
Oh thats' awesome! We film with them quite a bit. Definitely check out our site for upgrades for yours. Really wakes up the RS3!
Just ordered the Switchpath for my 24, I already have the unitronic mid pipes installed.. Can't wait! Also, in regards to other people's comments about the AWE clamps, have you noticed any issues?
I didn't notice anything with the clamps in mine. Just have to tighten them. Did you order it from our site?
Oh my god that sounds loud
Yeah it's awesome!
Trying to decide between this or APR. Not sure I want anything crazy loud, but man does this sound good.
Obviously it's going to sound a lot better on the outside, but in the interior, the RS3 already sounds perfect, even if it's amplified sounds from the speakers or just some fake sounds added in lol!!

Yeah it sounds really good from the interior too. But fro the outside it sounds insane now with the midpipes!
@BrosFOURRSpeed Those midpipes help out on what you hear inside the car much, or was it mainly the actual exhaust system?
Both. The AWE made the car sound very good. Then the midpipes just added a bit more volume when the valves are open. So this combo is the perfect setup

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks for the reply mate! Yeah I’m guessing it’s just how it functions. Thanks again!
@@danhutchison9693 sounds like it! I have a video coming Saturday about how to daily drive these and get the most out of them 😎
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Oh sweet, looking forward to seeing that! 😁 Thanks legend!!

Mine in fact does leak at the band clamps lol. They can be upgraded easily though.
I'll have to take a look.
@@joshpetit44How do you upgrade them? I’m looking into getting this exhaust
I currently have awe touring exhaust on my fk8 and I have a whistle noise at 6-7k rpms idk if those clamps are related

Sounds epic!
Does the same exaust fits on rsq3 sportback? And how did you put that snapping sound When upshifting? I freaking love it, much more than the fart

@@BrosFOURRSpeed did you decat you’re rs3 also?
@@fabianchappottin3838 Stock downpipe. But the midpipes deleted the secondary cats
do any of your mods affect warranty? the spacers, springs, exhaust, all of it
Technically no. A dealer would have to prove the mod caused the issue you bring it in for
U think I can get an equal trade for 8y rs3 for Supra?
probably not. 8Ys are stupidly still selling over MSRP keeping value a bit high. Supras about a $53-55k car new, the 8Y is a $65-70k car new. Maybe if you find one with 25-30k miles on it

Is it stock blow of valve?
Yes. The intake I have makes the blow off sound much louder.
That’s nice even with stock air intake still making blow noises 🤔 but my car doesn’t 🤷🏻♂️ I thought you add diverter valve spacer
@@alqatary07 The stock intake you can hear it a bit. I added a valve adapter to connect the hose to the new intakes since the current intakes don’t have the same pipe as previous generation. But a new intake will add all the sound. Or you can get the diverter valve spacer

Yeah I would like a high flow catted DP like I did on my Supra. We'll see if a good one comes out. But the midpipes really woke it up!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yeah...I will say your video tempts me to pull the trigger, even if its not 100% what I want at the moment...maybe Ill be happy with the volume *shrug*. Like I said though, it does sound good man!
We have no complaints with this setup. The AWE Track exhaust is a bit louder over this one too you could always do
Removing the cats is a sure way to kiss the warranty good bye
I doubt that. There are no sensors in the secondary cats. So deleting them won't effect a single aspect of the car
