The MT are so nice enjoy the car and be safe out there!

I didnt film the install but there are a lot of videos on YT you can find for this exact install, very straight forward

This particular system does not have active valve control where you can choose to open or close them via a button like some other systems do. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to or not. They have “track” edition of this exhaust which is louder overall compared to this one the “touring” version

@@Dscotty my b9.5 S5 has the stock electronic exhaust valves that open in dynamic and close in comfort so if your model doesn’t then I guess my question is just does it sound better idling than it does stock haha

@@Facebookman168 it’s louder for sure than stock

I sold the car the other month but it had 58k on it for mileage no issues only thing I spent money on was an oil change

@@Dscottywhyd u sell it?

@@InspiringgrowthIG wanted to get into another project

It was fun and we ended up out cards under the hood advertising our group too so why not 🤷🏻

No I haven’t heard any issues with adding an intake after already having a tune if that’s what you’re referring too. Depending on your tune doesn’t hurt to ask or research. I have Apr and it wasn’t an issue

I’m not sure off the top of my head but if you go to Facebook and look up MAC (Maryland Audi Club) you’ll find schedules. The group is bigger than just Maryland that’s just the OG name we stuck with from the start

Good question I’d have to ask the gang, I was running APR

Not at all this is more tamed sound on cold starts compared to the track edition

Track edition is nice too! Congrats and be safe out there🤙🏼

Intake is by integrated engineering and the exhaust is the AWE touring edition. Hope that answers you’re question correctly

Thanks You answered correctly 👌👌

Just be cautious buying a used one and always ask for paperwork on the car for all maintenance done. They can be great cars but def a money pit if not kept up

60mph and holding a conversation won’t be a problem there’s no drone with the touring edition. There’s a deeper growl compared to stock but really won’t notice a difference between those 2 modes unless you step the pedal

Hey thank you I appreciate it! Yeah I believe they would sound similar both sharing the v6 although probably some differences since you got the turbos vs the supercharger. I’m sure you can find some videos on here to compare

1 can covered both mirrors just start light but I bought 2 cans just incase

Of course I’d say s4 but I don’t know much about the q50s. I would say test drive them both if you can. The s4 is a fun car and I love it.

literally debating the same exact thing rn bro.

Obviously S4. why would you get an Infiniti? unless you're a high school kid. lol

If you mean the DSG farts those are stock from the factory

Adding an aftermarket intake does not require a tune but my car does have a tune on it

Uhhh idk anything about that car

I mean it says you gain some horsepower but nothing noticeable. More for sounds in my opinion

It never does but these cars sound amazing with the right setups, I’ve heard some not so good ones too though

Nahh never had any weird smells or noises after the tune. Might be worth looking on a forum or asking the shop that tuned it

@@Dscotty i just have ecu, tcu worth getting for more reliably ?

@@coencardelli6869 it’s better in my opinion since you have an ECU tune that way it’s all on the same page, they communicate better and drives much better, definitely worth it in my opinion

Yes stock cats and yes stage 1 ECU and TCU tunes from APR

@@Dscotty Cool; I wanna keep my stock cats for drone control. If you go stage 2 or higher then the stock cats won’t last very long on our cars; at least that’s what I’ve heard. Have you upgraded to resonated down pipes yet?

@@numbaz9172 Yeah stage 2 will melt the cats so usually gotta get them gutted. Nahh I wasn’t sure what difference it would really make vs the price. But I’ve thought about it a few times

​​@@numbaz9172 no, stock cats have no effect on drone. I have stock cats, stage 2 dp and have tons of drone w my currant setup. Ecs res valved. I had the touring and honestly would go back to it in a heartbeat. The valves are great but the sound is not as good, the ecs gets raspy too when you open it up. I don't like rasp. Some do. You can get away with stage 2 dp on 93 Oct if you're somewhat respectable w your driving. If your racing then yeah get rid of them but I've been driving this setup for almost 3 years w no issues. I have a gorgeous set of high flow cats sitting in a box that I planned on getting installed a few years back but was afraid of what the car would sound like. It will get very loud and raspy I learned after some research. And it's not something you can just put on real quick and if you don't like it swap it back. Have to pull the engine to replace the cats and that's real expensive. If it was a muscle car I'd be down to do it but too much going on in these engine bays these days, my luck I'd get done and have a pile of parts leftover and not know where they went lol.

@@HVACRTECH-83 Thanks for the info Bryan; However I’m solely referring to the AWE touring setup.. I know the ECS system is inferior imo and creates too much rasp and drone.. I’m not looking to push my car to the limit (i.e. stage 2 or higher) or break any time records. I’m more into bolt ons and aesthetic upgrades (PPF, wheels, suspension, intake, exhaust etc). I prob won’t exceed stage 1 therefore I plan to retain stock cats and DP for as long as possible. I have prioritized my build accordingly.

Nahh no drone that’s what is great about the touring edition!

Thank you and congrats on your new ride! Enjoy it, amazing platform and overall great car! Be safe out there and thank you for checking out my page 😊

Thank you I love it!!

@@Dscotty i see this video is 2 years old, do you regret getting the intake you did or do you wish you got a different brand or do you like the one you got

@@maxs4986 not at all I’m still very happy with this intake.

Honestly they go hand and hand but I noticed more of a difference with the TCU tune not power but quality of the transmission. But together they both really compliment eachother

The manual would be more fun but harder to come by. This car has been a dream to own no major issues I’ve encountered just typical Maintenance. Water pump and timing chains are common things to go wrong with this platform but I haven’t had any issues with mine

Thank you so much!! I love that supercharger whine! I agree, IE is a reputable brand and I love what you get for the price! Enjoy the build and be careful out there!

Of course!! I got you! But it’s been smoothing sailing for years now. A video will be in the works though with more specific details.

Air flow into the hood when you’re accelerating. You can see the little air scoop just in front of the intake

The used car market is really good right now for those selling but buyers will pay more, not sure how long this will last though. I should be able to do pretty well when it comes time to sell. I just recently did some other maintenance costing me about 2k but it’s just normal stuff that needs to be done, breaks, spark plugs all that fun stuff. They’re not cheap cars by any means but keep up on the maintenance and they’ll last. That’s how I look at it.

On a regular basis driving normal I get about 250-300 miles per tank but driving like FnF much less, especially with the tune it’ll suck up more fuel the more fun you’re having

@@Dscotty appreciate it I plan on buying one maybe next year jus trna get my bag right 💪🏼

@@S4_boy it’s a great car and so much fun to drive so I definitely recommend it if you’re gonna be in the market for one! Lemme know if you got any questions about it and Goodluck!

@@Dscotty add me on Instagram if I have any questions I’ll lyk

I’d say to try an get an B8.5 which is 2013-2016. Audi made a few changes from the B8 model with some issues that were happening in those years. Lower miles the better but definitely try to get paperwork on maintenance done such as DSG flush ( should be done around 50k miles), spark plugs around 60k miles, oil changes (Audi says every 10k but do mine every 5-6k). It’s important to know how well the car was maintained and can help with reducing future problems.

@@Dscotty doesn’t the 2013 still have the mechatronic problems , I see some people trans still failing on the 13-14 I think some 14s

@@jketphanh22 it does as well as 2016 same year as my car. I’m not entirely sure what the main cause is for the failure but I’ve seen in it all the B8 years as well as timing chains going bad too, seem to be common but is easy to notice. Make sure you test drive the vehicle, listen to it closely while idle and changing gears such as park, drive, Reverse and having someone who is knowledgeable about them helps too if they can come along with you.

@@Dscotty 2016 also has dsg issues ?

@@jketphanh22 I’ve heard people having issues before but not a common fault. Most common thing I’ve seen is timing chain going bad

Hahaha maayybbee 😁

So many dope cars I want them😍😍

Yes find us on Facebook under Maryland Audi club! We’re bigger than Maryland that’s just the name. We chat, set up events all kinds of great things, always a good time. Definitely would like to see you at the next event! Let me know if you have any trouble finding us an if you want introduce yourself on the group with a pic of that sweet ride 👌🏼

@@Dscotty joined a few hours ago. I’ll share a pick once I pick it up!

@@brandonlong324 awesome glad to have you in the group!!

You can mix for stage 1 but I think if you go stage 2 or 2+ then you might have to go to a specific setup with that brand like APR for example. Stage 1 though you’re fine it doesn’t matter if you mix an match
