- BullX/EGO Catback exhaust video for upgraded exhaust • Audi RS3 8Y 2023 - HG ...
Quick review: I'm in the US so this review is more accurate for people without OPF. I was running this exhaust with stock downpipe and secondary cats (mid pipes). Considering it's a race system with no resonator and a small muffler, it sounds amazing at high RPM, really anything above 3k. As far as daily driving with valves closed, it's on the louder side and has a noticeable "bassy" tone between 2-3k RPM. Some people don't mind it and some do; it can be a little too much in my opinion. Once you are cruising at a consistent speed around the city it's fairly quiet. On the highway it has a pretty consistent tone between 70-80mph with some drone. I travel a lot so that did bother me which is why I ended up purchasing the resonated mid pipe from Milltek and adding it. That took away about 30% of the volume and definitely helped tone it down during normal driving. As of now, I'm waiting for APR to release their system and I will purchase that right away to make a video for people and compare it. Look our for that video once it's available for the 8Y!
POV of us vroom vrooming in a 2023 RS3 with the Milltek Race Exhaust set up. OEM cats still in place (primary and midpipe). US spec, non OPF/GPF.

IS SOUNDS AMAZING!!!! Everyone with an rs3 needs this exhaust
Only problem not legal but don’t give a shit
Sounds incredible. However, I think the sweet spot is the 2016 - 2018 RS3 with the stock sports exhaust.
Totally agree with you! It's sad they toned it down and took away the fun burbles.
I have 2018 one waiting for 8y but I think I will regret it 🥲🥲🥲
@@chasemydreams haha don't worry you're going to love the updates. You'll just need an exhaust that's for sure 😃
@@unmuffledcars i already drive 8y for week i like it but the problem is sound …i live in Europe 😭 OPF even with exhaust doesn’t really help, well I have another cars with good sound but I loved 5cylinder 😭
@@chasemydreams Sorry to hear that I know OPF kills all the fun! Anything EC approved I'm sure doesn't make much of a difference anyhow, you'd have to get race system like this to hear anything.
It definitely has some Lambo vibes in the engine and transmission sounds, I love it!!! Sweetest car out right under 70k IMO.
Nice video, I like your driving style, not too aggressive for the country road, but still fast👍
You leave a nice distance to the vehicle in front, you don't have to constantly brake and you don't endanger oncoming traffic either!
...and the sound is really good🙂
Nice to see someone that knows how to drive properly
this car deserves this kind of sound if scary is limited a sound that makes you understand that you are driving a car like no other
This is how the 8y rs3 is supposed to sound. Great job 👌
Glad you like it!
I loved my Urs4 for this reason. 5 cylinder symphony!
Holy shit that exhaust is tight AF.
If I were to buy an RS3. This exhaust would be the first mod I did to this vehicle. Sounds like a V10 under the hood. 😂❤👍👍
0:30 Dear God, that sounds glorious!
Certainly does.
Time for some Redbull to wake me up after that exciting video! 🙈
Sounds amazing and your going up rd211 that's my favorite road. Hope to see this beast out and about.
211 has been fun but lots of pot holes out there after the rain. I'll be looking for some new roads in the area to explore, let me know if you have any recommendations!
looked like a fun drive and sounds great. Winning!!!
The sound is amazing. The drive is fantastic. We should be getting a new exhaust on the rs3 very soon to test out.
Sounds amazing!!!! GG
Ty very much. More to come
Love this sound, next year i want too buy this car
You will not be disappointed. This particular car might not be for sale but the owner maybe convinced to let it go. 😋
Great video and Sound!
Great video ! Nice driving. Would be interested to hear the audio just from interior/driver's seat.
We are on it. We will figure out a way to incorporate this into our videos.
Any update on the APR exhaust review? Thanks for the awesome video and review in the description. It helped me to pick resonated one right after reading. I’m also considering APR but I have no idea how it drones on comfort mode during city and highway driving. I’m also traveling a lot and don’t want the sound to bother me. Thank you!
Hey there! I actually ended up switching to HG Motorsports Bull-X exhaust. It's amazing! Hardly louder than stock with valves closed and sounds awesome with valve open. Even with the valve open it hardly has any drone at all. By far the best system for a daily driver. I will be making a video on it soon.
@@unmuffledcars Thank you for the reply! I just searched for the HG Motorsports Bull-xX exhaust and it says it's a downpipe. Is that how you have yours? Catback: Milltek race and Bull-x midpipe? I wanted to just change the catback and leave all other components stock for now. Do you have any suggestion to get more tone on valves open and have similar to stock valve closed sound? Thank you!
@@bug4099 I have the Bull-X Catback only, so stock cats and mid pipes are still on the car. I've included a link to the exhaust here. It's a company out of Germany; I ordered it directly through their site and it took about 10-12 days to show up at my house in CA. This exhaust doesn't use the OEM valves it instead has a vacuum line valve. So it will not function with drive modes instead you have a remote to open/close the valve. The difference between valve open and closed is big which is why I've been enjoying this exhaust so much.

Hey man nice vid. The exhuast sounds great! I just picked up my 2023 rs3 with basically every option they had. I just wish they had more sound in the exhaust. How much was the whole exhuast system plus the installation for you? Do you have pops and bangs when downshifting or just on higher rpms does the sound come out? Lastly, does this affect warranty at all or. Thanks
I wanna know if this effects warranty aswell
Congrats! At the time I ordered it, I paid around $2500. I installed it at home so no cost there. This car doesn't really do any pops/bangs as it's not tuned like that from factory. When you shift you hear that "DSG fart" much more and sometimes at low RPM you get a very small amount of burbles; noticeable at start up. This is considered a catback exhaust, it does not affect warranty. Keep in mind this being a race system and having a small muffler and no resonator, it is on the louder side during normal driving with valves closed. I'm going to add a short review in the description.
@@unmuffledcars awesome thanks for the response I’m waiting on a order for a 23 green rs3 and I wanna be loud and obnoxious asap when I get it
@@tylerbergman722 why? Most people would get sick of that in a day. Loud exhausts are not ideal for daily drivers, you will likely find yourself driving 90% of the time with valves closed defeating the whole idea
Dope af
We are committed to responding to each comment we get. So the reply to this. We agree. Lol
That's sounds phenomenal 🤤
baby Huracan
That sound comes from speakers but the exhaust is impressive
We didn’t record any internal audio in this video. It only had external audio. No in cabin recording. So no speaker sounds.
This sounds great. I also have a non-OPF car since I live in South America. Can you please confirm if this is the Milltek system that is supposed to work with OPF? I don't see any non-OPF options from Milltek.
This works on non OPF and OPF models.
Sounds amazing
The Milltek Race exhaust brings out what the rs3 aggressiveness.
Sounds Awesome ... curious, what was that alert that kept popping up on the left screen? ... I don’t have an RS3 yet
It's an annoying notification for pre sense (forward collision) that doesn't go away in RS modes.
I thought pre sense was when it limits power when traction is about to break. I always turn mine off and the car is way faster (2018)
shame to hear it has a lot of bass to it even in comfort. One thing that does help is removing the fake sound added but in comfort it wouldn't help. Was going to pick this exhaust over APR or Remus. Would love to what direction you went with
We went and switched it out for a Bull-X exhaust to get less drone/bass in comfort and it did work well. Video coming in the next few days.
Probably the best i have heard. Downpipe or no downpipe?
No downpipe
Nice ride, any more information on the radar detector being used and it's usefulness when avoiding... things with radars? (radar guided missiles obviously)
It is a Escort MAX 360c. It’s awesome. You connect it to your phone and can limit the bands so only the laser and KA bands come through. So you don’t get notification for all the random K Band notifications. It also tells you if the alert is in front of you, behind you or on the side. It has warned us countless times and is a necessary investment.
Where is the mic located? Sounds amazing!
Every car is different actually. We have multiple mics in different locations. Then the microphones have their own characteristics that suit them to pick up different sounds. But in general on the back of the car not that close to the exhaust. We’ve tried putting the mics right next to the exhaust. They just catch fire or the pressure blows the mic components.
Sounds beautiful, can you do e85 on these 23s ?
Not sure about that since ECU is still locked. It's possible something like JB4 might support it though.

Thank you for the comment. We’ve been trying to stress the importance of that to the driver. He keeps forgetting.
Nice sound😮 do u have valve control on the car ?
No valve controller
Jesus christ, what a sound!
Complements the rs5 well. Stock was too quite.
Leider habe ich die für den Straßenverker in Deutschland legale Abgasanlage verbauen lassen und war sehr enttäuscht! Sie hatte mit Klappe zu unter 75 Dezibel und mit Klappe offen 87 DB, inklusive HJS-Downpipe. Die originale Abgasanlage hat 99 Dezibel mit Klappe offen. Außerdem fehlte auch etwas Leistung bei einer Messung, was verkraftbar gewesen wäre, wenn der Klang gestimmt hätte. Im Innenraum hat es stark vibriert, dass in der Türtafel und in der Lichtschalttafel Teile lose geworden sind. Für mich ist diese nicht zu empfehlen, da die originale Abgasanlage einen besseren Klang hat.
Hello mate , im in france and i want buy new RS3 but i dont like really origin soon !
Do you think its possible have same song in europe ?
Its possible delete opf/gpf ?
Sounds great. Was there any errors by removing the OPF?
US Spec RS3's have no OPF factory.
@@unmuffledcars but there was a Kat in the Downpipe (600 cells) and two Kats (each one line) under the car when you buy it Stock?
@@crank6666666 Yes, there is the main downpipe cat and then the 2 mid pipe secondary cats, one on each side.
@@unmuffledcars you let the three Kats Original? No bigger cells inside the kat?
There's a few variations of this exhaust mostly centered around EU market with opf. Where did you get yours? I have a US car. Didn't know if you had the part number or details
I’m in California and ordered it directly from this site. Shipping was pretty quick, took like a week. Keep in mind this does have some drone even with stock secondary cats.

@@unmuffledcars Thanks for the info. So drone even in comfort with valves closed? I know they sell other variations that are resonated as well that may keep the noise down?
@@04svt_twinscrew Yes even with valves closed. If you want to be extra safe go with SSXAU966 model. This is the resonated mid pipe and muffler that is larger than the race version. No idea how loud it will be though, i'd assume its on the quieter side. If you want to maybe take a chance for a bit more noise and hopefully no drone, go with model SSXAU967. This is the non resonated mid pipe, but still has the larger muffler in the rear. If i were to do it again, I'd probably chose this option first. Unfortunately I can't speak on either of those systems since I don't have them, but that would be my advice. Hope it helps!
@@unmuffledcars VERY helpful. I'll take a look at them all. I think the plan is to go to a 200 cell catted main DP eventually so a more conservative catback is probably best as that will make it all louder. Thanks again!
omg, It looks like new FH4/5 map
Everything around here looks like that map.
What are the power gains with the Miltex exhaust? It sounds awesome .
Not sure exactly what they claim and I did not do any before or after dyno. From the butt dyno it feels the same
I’m sold!! Curious how it’ll sound with midpipes too
Hopefully we can record some with mud pipes. If it stops raining out here. We haven’t been able to get any recordings done.
Have you considered the JB4 yet?
By far the best option since the ecu is locked at the moment. They have a video of it on TH-cam and they have their dyno runs on their website for a 100% factory car with and without the JB4.
Nothing against JB4, I know they can do great things. I’m just much more of a fan of ECUs tunes for consistency. On this one I’ll be patient and wait for the ECU to be cracked (hopefully soon).
@@unmuffledcars I get that. I’ve had a few cars that I’ve installed a JB4 on and it was awesome for what it was, but I will say a tune is the real deal.
Eventually the ecu will be cracked. Some say it’s “uncrackable”, but that’s what they said about the C8 vette, Supra, other cars with the MG1.
@@unmuffledcarsatience does indeed pay off my friend. Was unable to snag the 8y RS3 (UK dealer markups insane!) but got a launch week 8y S3 after two years of ownership from new finally got the ECU/TCU stage 1 tune from Racingline. It put the stock 310hp/450Nm to 412hp and 540Nm of torque - insane mapping, can only imagine the gains on stock 8Y RS3!!!
Edit: Forgot to add all this improvement for less that £1K! Next is intake, down pipe and exhaust!
@@garethc78 That's awesome! I truly hope the 8Y RS3's have ECU tuning options very soon.....being patient is getting tough 😅
@@unmuffledcars I think with the fact that Racingline, Revo etc all bought S3/Golf 8R the instant they launched and have been working with them ever since the RS3 shouldn’t be 2 years in the making as I’m sure the ECU locking is similar to aforementioned cars 😃
I’m thinking about getting the same exhaust do you have the sku #? Thanks
SSXAU974
How do you get it so loud inside? Did you remove any insulation?
This isn’t from the inside. We have several microphones and audio recorders on the outside of the car capturing the beautiful sounds of the exhaust.
When you change the engine sound to quiet in the settings, does the drone go away?
It comes down significantly but still present in the Miltek Race Exhaust for the RS3.
Wow, first audi that I like how it sounds, anyway BMW sounds better to my ears
Many bmw motors sound great, but if we're talking about modern day I'd say the 5cyl sounds a bit more unique than the S58/B58 😉
@@unmuffledcars I drove the 8v generation, dowpipes, lowering sprints, wow waw a car, the sound in real life is FANTASTIC! So I came back to THIS video, I kinda like it now
Nice clip but could’ve used a glimpse of this machine.
Sorry! That was the drivers fault. We tell the driver to do that. But he seem to be too excited to drive so forgets.
straight plug and play or is a tune needed?
All bolt on. No tune needed
Where can i get this system?
Can you provide a link for the exhaust?

Are you still running the stock downpipe ?
Yes stock DP and secondary cats
Slow asf to 60 tho 😂
@@smithjones2488 When using launch control, it's much quicker lol.
why does it look so slow on the first pull?

Pretty sure this wont be legal in germany. So sad that they killed the sound on these gorgous 5cyl engines. What is the point nowadays in getting an rs3 when it is muffled to death and looks like an suv? No hate, just wondering. The unique selling point of this car has always been the engine/sound. I would choose an m2 over this anyday since the a45 sounds even worse than this stock🤷
It's still a very fun car to own but I do agree with you regarding sound especially for you folks with OPF/GPF. In the US we are a little more lucky, even though they are still pretty quiet from factory.
@@unmuffledcars Thanks for the reply :) I can believe that it drives way better than the 8v prefacelift since the prefacelift pretty much understeers everywhere. But yet, I chosed it over the m2 OG and the m2 Comp because of the unique sound it has and the quattro system. I also tested the 400hp facelift but it wasnt the same. That sound makes so much fun 😂 You are doing it right in the us. I dont know why they had to put in an opf here in europe and regulate the fun out of these fun cars 🥲 Always a good ride ✌️
@@Undercover1987 I have not driven an 8V to compare the understeer but you have to push this thing pretty hard for it to understeer. I've heard others say it is indeed much better than the 8V. Happy driving! ✌

Is this tuned?
Not yet 😎
Ecu is still locked for the moment in 8Y
@@unmuffledcars Thanks for the reply! I've noticed the stock exhaust just doesnt pop like an aftermarket exhaust. So I thought it was the tune initially that's causing it to pop.
@@ptrentertainment9617 The stock exhaust is pretty quiet which makes it harder to hear the DSG upshift crackle, but in general after 2018 audi toned them down and took away some of the factory crackles/pops. Listen to any 16-18 RS3 they sound much better even stock.
Ecu remapoed?
Put ASMR in the title
Lol. ASMR exhaust videos. That’s an interesting idea.

Not quite sure what this is supposed to mean.
Hey, I enjoyed the video. I have a question for you or anyone else who might have an answer for me..
I'm 23 y/o and about to purchase my first car. I want the RS3 of course but I'm stuck between the 2021 or 2023 and I'll tell you why. My priority is amazing sound with pops and bangs. I just want popcorn and sensational DSG farts kind of like the car in this video ( th-cam.com/video/go9Akx46cMU/w-d-xo.html ) ...
My question is : If modified, can the new 2022/23 AUDI RS3 8Y do what the 8V RS3 in the shared link does purely in terms of sound ???? I know it's a bit silly asking this question since it's the same engine and everything but I mean, I'll be spending close to $100 000 on this purchase so I have to be sure.( context: I live in South Africa, so that should explain the price tag)
Between the 2 models ( RS3 8Y / RS3 8V), my buying decision is influenced by the sound the car can make after tune.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Hi there, as far as pops and bangs, audi does not tune the 8Y to do that due to stricter noise/emission regulations. Yes you will get the DSG fart but not any pops/bang (sometimes extremely subtle ones but that's rare). The 8V does it more from factory. Just about any vehicle can be tuned to have pops/bangs but the problem with the 8Y RS3 is the ECU is still in the process of being cracked. Until then, your option of wanting that sound is going to be tough. Many 8Y RS3 owners are eagerly waiting for tunes to become available so if you go that route you'd join the party 😁.
😢😢😢😢wow 😢😢😢😢
We think so also!
