Heyyyhowareya?! Thanks for the immense support on this video. I will definitely be doing more of these and perhaps a POV drive in Boston tunnels, like I did with the Golf R back in Winter. Stay tuned!
I own an RS3 Pre Facelift and the 5 cyl sound is just such a beautiful symphony, I honestly will never get sick of it. it just sounds so unique and has such a wide and varied sound profile
also pre facelift owner here. 135.000km on it lol. recently put it on KW coilovers, tune that gives me 425 on 100octane vpower and @NewEnglandPete , the DQ500 tune definetly does help
@@fikratahmad so far very good. drivetrain itself is solid, the engine and gearbox can handle more than stock´without issue. above 550-600hp you should get the engine build (pistons/rods stc) and a clutch upgrade. other than that only bolt ons only big problem the previous owner had was a dmaged bearing in the awd transfer case. cost him arround 2000€. so the usual mqb stuff but as everything is mqb parts are easy and relatively cheap to come by. you will have to accept that carbon is gonna build op on these older engine intake valves as its direct injection only. can be midigated with a fuel injector kit of a WMI. i heard about timing chain lengthening when you get to 150.000km but rarely. if you give it good oil regulary, doesnt seem so be a problem.
Best Pov driving i’ve ever seen. Audi rs3 has got a beautiful sound. I would be the happiest man in the world if one day, i could afford it!🥲🥹 Next video push the gas to the limit😂💯
Bro im telling you rn, unitronic stage 2 tcu and ecu tune. Your car will change completely. All the quirks you mentioned about the transmission will make it so as if you're driving with the r8 transmission. The tune will fix those issues.
nice car and also a very beautiful town. It is quite different to my US experience so far. But yeah... i made the mistake to visit NY first. Which wasnt the brightest idea.
I got my B9 S4 on a stage 1 034 93 tune plus the x pipe + front res deletes done. Sounds better than stock but still doesn't match a rs3 5 banger. I have a RS style start-up enabled but nothing like the real thing.
@ the ticking noise from the roof, I’ve had an 8V generation S3 (and an A3 before that) with the same issue. If I recall correctly, it might have been the sunroof frame. I believe the dealership added some lubricant to it when I brought it in which I think fixed the issue. There may be a TSB for it. Not sure if your noise is the same, but hope that helps. I have an 8Y RS3 now and love it. The engine is so addicting. Love to see another New England RS3
Would you still choose IE over Milltek and Armytrix? Can't wait to get my RS3 and im not quite sure what exhaust to buy. WIll definitely buy the Non-OPF RS3 though
I’ve had my 2020 for 2 years now. Bone stock 9k miles. Came from a mk7 GTI and I feel just about the same way you do switching to the DAZA. Around town gear shifts at lower RPM I preferred the gti DSG. Feels more aggressive around town lower rpms but the audi just completely changes the shift characteristic when under boost/moderate acceleration. It took me the longest to get used to less torque down low but the top end is incredible. Would like to compare to the golf R 7 speed.
I used to do this on the dc5 integra type s just gear 1 alone disturbs the neighbors peace 🤣🤣🤣 this one fits the bill... I must get myself one of this 😛
I literally have the same ticking of the sunroof, sounds like a stuck leaf as well. Sunroofs on the 8V are funky anyways, usually its like a creak sound, but that ticking is strange, havent found the issue yet. If you do, let ne know what the issue was lol. Sounds brutal, I just love this car.
Watching your video today man heard a Daza couple of days ago down in Brandywine, MD , man I can’t wait to pay off my M340 .I’m going back to Audi. Thank you lol
When you had the stock exhaust, did you ever have a very deep low drone but not much rasp? I put on mid pipes recently and am still getting this weird low drone sound with minimal iconic 5 cylinder rasp/tone. Thought it may be a clogged cat but the cat EGTs never go above 600c. Curious if stock just sounds like that.
Same car, the ticking sound in the sunroof is the rivets, there was a post i had seen a little while ago that goes over every single possible sound that the sunroof makes, ill try and find it for you, maybe youcan make a video about how to adjust the sunroof based on that forum post to clear the sound.
I wonder if the 21 A4 S line is a good contender for mods. I got one used recently it has extended warranty until 85k I’m unsure what to do with it I hear Massachusetts has strict exhaust laws but idk. I also wonder if the “DPAA” EA888 evo4 will be reliable over time, apparently it’s the most reliable version of the engine and it’s pulled from the golf R just detuned Apparently the B9.5 generation of A4 has the evo 4 engine which doesn’t have the problems the older gen3 in the b8.5 had
Hey Pete, did IE pay you to say positive things about the exhaust or did you genuinely like it and decided to put links in description after the fact. Just want to decide which exhaust is best! Cheers
I have worked with iE on these last two car builds, however, I am still very open about my opinions with sponsored and unsponsored content. This is by far the highest quality exhaust system I have ever installed & ran on a car. This is coming from Borla and even my Remus system on the Golf R. I will create a follow-up video shortly with my final thoughts too. Thanks for watching!
@@NewEnglandPete Thanks for explaining. So in your experience your IE exhaust is the loudest for the RS3? i just dont want any restriction when valves are open.
Audi just announced the RS3 is coming back to Canada for next year, so hopefully the 8v prices will come down and i'll be able to get my greedy hands on one 🤣 How many miles were on yours when you got it? and what did you pay if you don't mind saying? Loved the video man!
To be honest I don’t think they will drop that much, since not many people will be able to afford 85k, plus I also heard only 250 will be made but don’t quote me
if you were to buy from a 2018 Audi RS3 or Audi RS4 2018, again, going back in time, what do you think you would pick? im looking at getting my first car, and luckily enough i am willing to fork out for a RS badge, just torn between a stock audi rs3 with daza or a 2018 rs4, i love the wide body, but idk if the engine is better in the 5cyl than the v6 in rs4 what do you think?
@mattkyle6968 Rarely, if ever. If he got a unitronic stage 2 tcu and ecu tune, he'd be set! All the issues he's having with the transmission will be fixed.
17-18 rs3 screen goes down. 19+ or 20+ not sure when it started screen stays up. “Safety” feature Audi was forced to add. Screen going up and down was distracting apparently and forced to change.
@@Rs3Louie Yes, I found out that apparently at some point in 2018 there was a new rule saying the backup camera should be visible within 2 seconds of going in reverse and I guess the screen doesn’t pop up that fast so they make it stay up. Bummer.
Question? U complaining about the transmission short shifting and yet you say there’s no need for a trans tune? I tuned mine with FBO and I have no issues with short shifting. Nice car and keep the videos coming.
@@NewEnglandPete I own audi a5 but it's stock no alteration to the exhaust because my earls would bleed every fucking day and especially driving for 100+ miles
@@Idrias Who hurt you buddy? There are a lot of other Videos of people flooring their RS3 that you can watch. This man right here just took a Video of him enjoying a chill ride in his, no reason to get mad

only big problem the previous owner had was a dmaged bearing in the awd transfer case. cost him arround 2000€. so the usual mqb stuff but as everything is mqb parts are easy and relatively cheap to come by.

The 5 cylinder has ALWAYS sounded such, the engine is legendary.
no way I made it on your channel, that was me passing you on the dirt bike
😮
Love it! Ride on brotha!
Stay in school
@@AngelValdovinos ?
sure thing buddy
Bro you can’t tell me it doesn’t sound like a mini R8!? OMG that sound is ADDICTING I can’t wait to get my RS3😭 Awesome video brother!👌
The 5cyl sound is insane !
Beastly little motor!
Rs3 is the peak hot hatch for vag enthousiasts just like me
I love vaginas. And 5 zylinder ❤
Oh, I'm also a Vag enthusiast but miss me with VW Group products.
Sick car. Hope to purchase one in a couple years.
Thank you! They are worth the money!
man i love the 8v/ 8.5v rs3 my dad has one and it is fun , the power is insane
Love the sound of 5 cylinders but they’re still pretty expensive
Best Pov driving i’ve ever seen.
Audi rs3 has got a beautiful sound.
I would be the happiest man in the world if one day, i could afford it!🥲🥹
Next video push the gas to the limit😂💯
sounds very similar to r8 v10, I love it
Bro im telling you rn, unitronic stage 2 tcu and ecu tune. Your car will change completely. All the quirks you mentioned about the transmission will make it so as if you're driving with the r8 transmission. The tune will fix those issues.
Unitronic stage 2 flexfuel 👌
I have a golf r with a pan roof and some krytox fluid is the best investment I made, no clicking/creaking now, a small amount lasts a year plus too
got the rs3 from 2016 here in germany, its a blast to drive every day with the sunroof open. I hope i will never sell it haha
nice car and also a very beautiful town. It is quite different to my US experience so far. But yeah... i made the mistake to visit NY first. Which wasnt the brightest idea.
I traded in my GTI on an S3 because of this channel. Thanks bro
Glad to see someone reppin New England
England looking differentiated 🔥
Dreamcar. Currently owning a gti tho and i love it. Looking forward to upgrading one day hopefully🙏
Pops&bangs while startup are insane

Beautiful car. Love the blue. I’m running a baby stage 3 APR S3. Hope to see you around!
love the videos pete! i live in derry and have a stage 2 rs3 8v and when i cant drive my car im watching your videos. plz upload the rear mic!
Audi rs3 n ttrs iconic edition and the bmw e60 m5 is a need in my life.
The 5 pot is amazing
once you tune the gearbox, its gonna get a whole lot better. i recommend darins tcu tune with custom flex fuel ecu tuning from him as well
great to see a rs3 in america 👌
I made a RS3 Out of 2015 Audi A3.
Stage 3 GT2260’s through IE. 423hp
My license plate is BABYRS3
beast mode! 😎
Thats not a baby rs3, just a modded A3
How’s the trans holding up?
From UK we got em rs3 8v is insane car

Golf GTI has 350nm of torque at 1500rpm and rs3 465 at 1650rpm so not sure how you figure the rs3 is missing low down torque over gti?
Did removing the dampening of the hood of your GTI cause any problems ? Did it make a difference in sound ?

Hey @NewEnglandPete awesome video, just confirming this has the stock down pipe still? So it's just the back box that's been changed?
Yes! Stock downpipe w/ cats.
As someone else who lives in NH are you tuned on e85 and if so where do you get it?
How’s it feeling with just the IE ecu tune and no tcu tune?
downpipe / straightpipe ? What did you change in this car?

You need to look up the rs3 from Boaz.
