  • Our Audi B9 S4 gets a massive Unitronic Intercooler! The B9 S4 has a very small intercooler from Audi and upgrading the Intercooler is extremely beneficial when trying to get the most out of the B9 S4's 3.0T. Special thanks to Axel Automotive for having us and installing the Unitronic Intercooler! As we wrap up all the hardware mods for the Audi B9 S4 we will finally get the Stage 1+ tune in the next Vlog.

    Easily the best mod you can do for these cars. Even at stock power the car benefits greatly during summer months. Looks sick!

    Currently have a 2020 S4 and I'm going with the Unitronic Intercooler as my next upgrade. I've got an IE intake + full straight pipe exhaust with a Carbnlab downpipe... It sounds incredible! Save some money on an expensive exhaust and just full send it lol. It's not THAT loud especially when you just have it in D mode

  • @rileys1979
    @rileys1979 3 года назад +1

    Nice upgrade! You'll really notice the difference in the summer. For the resonators, delete the front small ones - great oem+ sound with zero drone. See how you like it first and go from there. I've heard several claim lots of drone by deleting the center one, while some don't mind it. I'm more sensitive to it, so I may delete the mufflers for a bit more sound and keep the center resonator. My valves are already unplugged.

    Best sounding exhaust for an S4 I have ever heard is the full cat back exhaust made by polo performance exhaust located in Canada. Sounds almost like a Nissan skyline GTR

    • @drivenbyboost
      @drivenbyboost  3 года назад +2

      Danggg. These 3.0Ts I did think had a slight gtr vibe from them regarding noise. Will absolutely check it out. Thanks for the recommendation 🤙

    I have an ecs x pipe which has some drone in dynamic but valves closed it’s dead silent. But still not pound enough valves open. Removing it all for an awe switch path👍🏾.

    Very nice! I really need to get my S4 hooked up with the black optiks, especially that aftermarket grill, mind I ask where you got it? Is it just an eBay one? They all seem to be the same but I want a decent quality one. Also do you use the ridiculous new 0w-20 oil? I have it in mine now but I'm thinking to do what the Euro ones do, 5W-30.

    Nice upgrade, resonators wise the less the better but to keep it on the quiet side might be worth keeping the front ones to limit cabin noise which can be more annoying that just loud exhaust.

    • @drivenbyboost
      @drivenbyboost  3 года назад +1

      That’s a good call. Maybe leave the front resonators and start with the x pipe 🤔

    With the larger intercooler now blocking the radiator from getting direct air, are you concerned with engine temps?

      @@drivenbyboost One thing I will mention is Milltek qc is shit. First install botched because they didn't include clamps. They then sent clamps over and ended up sending me an exhaust that does not work for the S5 sportback with underbody brace, failed second installation that was luckily covered by the vendor..

    Don't bother with resonator delete you will get tired of it. Ive removed the bigger resonator and replaced with xpipe and got a good amount of noise without drone. After removing the 2 smaller resonators noticed a bit more noise but a lot more drone. I have now moved onto the AWE Track Exhaust with the 2 smaller touring resonators which were purchased on the side. Perfect balance between loudness without drone. Let me know if you have any other questions.
