Welcome to the ultimate daily! Liam's Audi A5 TDi is pushing around 300BHP with a soundtrack from the gods!
Join us as we take a good look at the car, get some sound clips and have some fun!
More interesting reviews coming up! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
When driving one of these myself, going from drive to sports mode is a whole different monster all together... torque just provides and provides
It was the torque that really impressed me!
Like i said, such a good all around car.
- Drew
Car looks absolutely stunning
What a monster is the Audi A5 3.0 tdi man...i have the 2014 sportback still stock and it still puts a smile on my face....just cant get enough..cant imagine how it is with this exhaust..one day i might do it and feel that amazing sound that this engine delivers😮😮😮
They really are great platforms! The sound is so addictive, highly recommend 😬😂
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I also have an Audi A5 3.0 V6 Tdi Quattro. Remapped 302Bhp and 653Nm.
Love this! Now I'm waiting winter and snow, to have some fun with it! Greetings from finland 🇫🇮🤘🏻💪🏻
I am very curious to see how they deal with snow 🤔 I will have to convince Liam to take it out when it snows next! 😂
Wow! All the way from Finland, really appreciate the comment!
Thank you for watching!

I have a question. How does your S-tronic handle 650 NM? I’ve read that the max NM with that gearbox should not be over 550…. How is yours Holding up?
@@tonnithemountainhagopian6471 Well, there is a different s-tronics out there. Depends also which engine they're attached. Older 6 speeds, with 1.6l petrol engine, it's probably that 550nm. Mine is newer, 7 speed, since my car is 2012. No problem at all, runs smooth. 👍🏻
Literally perfect for a daily
Seeing how cheap these are becoming now is making me very tempted, this fella has his speccd exactly how I’d do it myself, perfect car to me 👌🏻
Great Audi Model ..,..I have been a happy owner for the week and really enjoyed the same 310bhp, 610Nm and massive boots.....now I enjoy my driving.....all best guys😊
Beautiful car . Must have one .
I am still to this day considering purchasing one!
Very good cars indeed.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
Car looks and sounds stunning! Great review:)
Appreciate the support!
He has modified it very well.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
I love how you put the brand new Audi rims on your A5 looks absolutely insane, I’m seriously considering doing this to my audi rs5, what do you think ?
Thank you, we think they really suit the car.
Very nice choice going for an RS5! My brother previously owned an S5 and from then I have always wanted to experience an RS5 to compare.
Thank you for watching.
- Drew
It kind of sounds like a r35 gtr 👍
That's exactly what I thought!
- Drew
What a sound!
Great visuals! I love mine, the perfect daily👍🏼
Thank you! Really appreciate the support! Plenty more to come.
- Drew
Hey love this vid. I have the exact same car and I've been thinking to decat and remap etc. Would love to have the same sounding car. How much do you think roughly it would cost to get all work done? Many thanks 👍🏽
got the cabriolet with the map but not gearbox tune yet.sounds wicked.you got rid of the massive lag when launching with the tcu tune?
Mine puts out a shade over 300bhp BUT it doesnt sound like that! Nice. Great vid, well put together and appear genuinely nice blokes!
I think he took a risk straight piping it...but it certainly paid off!
Really appreciate the support, and really appreciate the positivity.
We do try to be ourselves!
- Drew
@Hamouda Mohamed purely noise wise. Sometimes when you straight pipe a car they can be unbearably loud, but this is perfect.
Thanks
Ken
@@accelerateyoutube for me in Germany the risk means high fines from the police 😂😧
how did you find it when it came to mot being straight piped? im thinking of gutting dpf on my audi a7
Any idea if a straight pipe will get better fuel economy? As my 2011 3.0 tdi a5 is drinking fuel at the moment, fully stock
Just piped and remaped my a6 3L Quattro and it sounds like a fkn monster and sitting on new coils. love the audi, so happy with the switch from the bmw 520d
They do sound incredible!
That's interesting! So you prefer the Audi over the BMW?
Thank you for watching & commenting!
- Drew
They do sound incredible!
Now that's interesting
@@accelerateyoutube yeah prefer the audi atm as there is so much more you can do as the bmw n47 engine isnt the best due to injector issues and timing chain difficulty
@@CallMeTwisty530d would be comparable to the Audi 3.0 TDI , bmw straight 6 is where it's at , but the Audi V6 TDI are very good also
Lovely car! How many miles does it have may I ask? Been looking at one but it's got 145000 and dunno what they are like higher milage!
Great video guys !
Thank you mate!
Plenty more to come.
- Drew
Sounds good!
Beautiful
I brought the same Chinese diffuser that you had, appalling fitment considering the add states “ perfect fit” , shame I didn’t see this video sooner lol! To anyone thinking of buying one, don’t 😂
Sorry to hear you had the same nightmare! Lol
If we can help other's from making the same mistake then great!
Thank you for thr support!
- Drew
Apologies for the stupid question but, at Mot time how would it pass with the straight thru exhaust?
B8.5 Audi S5 owner here this car sounds amazing for a diesel 😍
@liam sweet I've had the S5 for 2 years now been so reliable so far no complaints. If only the current S4/S5 diesel sounded like this haha more people would have bought it
Gonna get a similar exhaust for mine soon... I have the pre facelift a5 with the capa engine with a manual and stage 1 custom map got me 320hp with 700nm torque... ruthless
Woooow! From a 2.0tdi? 700nm? Wow
@@thabomaseogane2819I’m wondering how it’s going so far with reliability
Yes, how is it going?
700Nm sounds ruthless all right, dam, imagine thar hauling weight better than a truck, mate.
What Alloys Are these? Look amazing!
amazing video !!
Thank you!
- Drew
How have you got yours to sound like this? Ive straight piped mine and it doesn't compare in terms of sound. Are you only in sports mode for this video?
Does a dpf delete pass an mot?
From Dunkerque 🇫🇷. Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Belle Audi A5 👍.🏴
tu es très gentil
Learning French just for you 😉...I hope that makes sense 😂
Thank you for the ongoing support!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube Merci 😉. Pas de problème 👍. Je vous comprends très bien 👌 🇫🇷. 🏴.
What wheels are on this beast and what offset? oh also do they need spacers. Looks and sounds sweet.
Great review, ive got an A5 myself and am considering getting a straight pipe. At 6:40 you mentioned the car doesnt drone at 60mph, what rpm does the car start to drone?
These cars are too clean for straight pipes bruh
which wheels and tires does the A5 have?
As a proud A5 B8 owner, I can say this is a great short review. My only complaint would be that I'm now contemplating a straight through exhaust so my bank balance will suffer! 👍
😂 I was sceptical when he mentioned the idea of a straight pipe on such a nice car, but man am I convinced now!
I seriously considered buying a 3.0 TDi A5 after driving Liam's, an amazing all arounder for sure.
Is yours modified in anyway Shane?
Thank you very much for the support!
-Drew
@@accelerateyoutube that kind of sound coming from a diesel is pretty awesome really! Only one mod, mine's remapped to just over 300 bhp and in the high 400's on ft/lb torque, but that's it. 57 plate manual, 71K on the clock, best car I've ever owned and I'll probably have her for a good while longer yet! I'd like to point out that the OE clutch isn't great at handling the high torque load after a decent map, so be prepared folks!
@@shaneomoleo Completely agree! When people referred to diesels I always thought of my old Renault Clio 1.9 or my old Peugeot 306 I had many years back that sounded like tractors!
They seem to respond very well to a good remap. I was wondering what the torque output would be to be honest as he has yet to out it on a dyno.
We were discussing how much power the standard gearbox etc could handle so I think he will certainly be keeping an eye on it all!
Thank you again for watching.
- Drew
@@shaneomoleo hi mate, I have a 2007 3.0 TDI manual too... Is your reverse gear a bit shaky coming off the clutch slowly?
@@YuriPeriotto hey bud, no it's generally always smooth. Although, sometimes it can be a little less so on cold mornings. Not to the extent it has ever bothered me though, and it's still a damn sight smoother than past cars of mine lol!
Accelerate Accelerate. Nice video buddy.💖
Appreciate the support!
- Drew
Getting one this summer for sureee. Planned it for years now. It's time. The stance+ coils I did look at so great to hear they aren't too horrendous! Also any tips on how to pass mot? 🤔🤔
After filming Liam's A5 I seriously went straight on to Auto Trader to have a look for one! A very good everyday car that certainly puts a smile on your face!
I was impressed with the Stance+ Coilovers. Considering they are not a 'premium brand' the quality exceeded our expectartions. (Liam said he has them very low! So it could be raised to soften the ride that little bit more if desired)
Keep the DPF and swap it for MOT.
Thank you.
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube I've had that auto trader search saved for 2 years now 🤣👌but these brilliant videos mean the stock of those is pretty highly valued + limited! Sounds like a plan 👀 although pretty big job, cheers !
@liam sweet happy to hear ive kept the right choice for years now! Just waiting for a nice model for a reasonable price now, might meet you on some welsh backroads in the future ay haha
@liam sweet great shout! Will do closer to date, how bad is putting the dpf back for mot? Can't have it without the noise if that's the noise we get haha
@liam sweet appreciate the comments! Will save the IG!
Gorgeous car I love it
It is such a good example of an A5. Liam is contemplating selling it but I won't let him!
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
Loved this video. Any modifications to fit the quad pipes?
We look back and cringe a little 🤣. It was one of our first and we had audio strikes, hence the random music. But thank you, much appreciated. The exhaust system was made and fitted by Prospeed exhausts. I'm sure it was straight forward for them.
Thanks
Ken
exhaust diameter please.. Doing a project on a4 b8 chassis but not sure which diameter to choose
what's mpg like??
Any spacers to get that fitment cause stock they come with some horrid fitment
On 034's website they don't list any sort of intake for the 3.0 TDI, only the TFSI, do you have a link to it? Or which exact model is it so I can google it?
Apologies for the delay.
The 034 air filter itself was taken from our Audi TT RS at the time, and fitted quite nicely, but it was just the filter (to my knowledge)
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
How does the Stance+ coil overs compare to the standard s-line ride???
Liam (the owner) stated "It is obviously firmer than the standard suspesnsion but by no means as harsh as I thought it would be. Plus I'm running it VERY low so could always be raised which would soften the ride."
He does highly recommend them for the price.
Thanks
- Drew
Brother is this stage 1 or stage 2? Also, how hard is the mot situation regarding dpf removal? Also, if he would get stopped by the police and they checked.... What are the consequences? I have a A5 3.0 TDI parked up at home (it's a manual and I have a automatic only license, currently waiting for my test) Its on stage 1 atm and the dpf isn't mapped in anymore according to the previous owner but it's still in the car, just not plugged in, egr removed too. I love the power but I need a straight through exhaust too
Hi mate,
He doesn't really work with stages, he just got the supporting mods he wanted to compliment a reputable map. And it has transformed the car!
He puts the DPF back in for MOT.
I bet the manual would be a lot of fun to drive.
I highly recommend the exhaust, in person it sounds even better!
Thank you.
- Drew
Can you share a link for the diffuser please
thinking the 3.0 a5 tdi as my next. Think it just might be
Hi bud. Could you please recommend a proper pedal shifter extension please for my A6 C7 ?
I’ve bought already 2 and both ended up in the rubbish as they all cheap Chinese crap…. Which one do you have please?
Thanks
Hi,awesome exhaust, i have a question: I have the same engine on a a5 and i have downpipe and backbox delete and it s already very loud, do you think if i do the full exhaust it would be louder? now i can cruise around 2 000rpm without hearing much and i like it, do you think that would change or i will still be able to go slow without hearing it ? thank you so much.(sorry for my bad english)
There isn't anymore you can do there isn't anything else restriciting your exhaust system,. You currently have it set up the same as mine:)
How has the ride quality held up with those coilovers? Was going to get hr springs but don’t think they’ll lower it enough for me haha
It actually wasn't bad! considering they were budget coilovers. I am running Tein coilovers on my 335i currently and i would say the ride is much harder than the Stance+ ones were!
Did you have any issues with MOT or police after straight piping?
Whats the mpg on these?
Mines maxed out at 336bhp/830nm
Tuned by Bobby Singh
But due to fuel pump it had to be turned down
So was running around 320-325/750nm
Few clips of it on my channel
Absolute brute the noise! But due to weight & 4wd not as fast as my current car 😂
@liam sweet hes really good at what he does! He made 7 different maps and explained each one. Proper sound guy!
Haha glad to know! I do miss the noise 100%
I have a 535d e60 pre lci atm
DPF gutted and off / egr off / swirl flaps deleted
Dynod at jm imports and made 315 at the wheels
According to them that’s around 360-370 depending on % you use for transmission loss
Bobby mapped my old 1.9tdi Polo, and will deffo be doing my A7 3.0tdi! Literally a no nonsense guy!
How is your gearbox Holding up with that much NM? I want to map mine to 600 NM but Idk How the gearbox Will hold up
@@tonnithemountainhagopian6471 gearbox held up fine tbh! As long as it’s serviced and you don’t launch it everyday then it’ll be fine. Search Facebook / forums majority of the a5 3.0tdi he does have 720nm and all are running with no issues. To date I have not seen a negative comments about Bobby and his maps. His a4 Avant 3.0tdi is now at 600+ bhp haha
Link for the diffuser?
As much I want to do this to my 3 litre quattro your are going to have a job with passing your MOT straight pipe 👍
Guys were would I get cold air intakes for my A5 sportback diesel model. Can yous send. Me a link.?????
What’s the name of this headlights? I can’t find them nowhere 😭
Awesome daily 👍
It really is a great all rounder!
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube 😁👍
Car looks amazing. Where did he get the grill? Just from eBay?
@rosscampbell34 It was a few years back, but yes, I believe he purchased it through eBay 👌
- Drew
Great car fantastic noise. I have the 3.0TDi too and get the same smile as you guys . Would love that sound though
I was impressed that a diesel could make me smile in such a way! The sound is addictive!
Thank you for watching.
- Drew
Im between an A5 3.0 tdi and a 330d e92 which one you think its better??
That's a very good question!
A lot of it is personal taste, both cars have their positives and negatives, but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either!
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
what width are the 19" inch wheels and the offset? Also you say RS6 style. Are they genuine or just look like RS6? Thanks
The wheels are 9J ET33. I believe they are replica RS6 wheels.
Thank you for watching.
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube thanks 🙂
I got a b8.5 2.0 tdi 2015 at stage 1 but what can I do to it that’s more I wanna be pushing 300 plus wanna know if it’s possible
To get to the 300BHP mark, you will be looking at bigger turbo etc. It may be beneficial to get in touch with a diesel specialist (someone like Darkside Developments) they know VAG diesels very well! And know how to get good power out of them!
Thank you for watching & commenting!
- Drew
What was that reqr diffuser anyone ???
New RS wheels!
Hello mate very nice car indeed, sounds amazing, wich exhaust system is this??
It is a lovely car in fairness. It is literally a straight pipe from the turbo back. Custom fabricated by LongLife exhausts.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
How much mm is exh bro?
Hello I have the exact same car where can I buy the rs5 grill? Is it compatible with parking sensors?
Ebay and yes they sure are easy install to! :)
Didn’t catch the name of the rear diffuser that was used, anyone know the name of it ?
@Liam Sweet nice one man thanks
Would you recommended me buying a 96Kmileage 2010 3.0 TDI S Line A5 with a step tronic gearbox?
They are brilliant all aound cars in fairness.
- Drew
I bought mine 3 years ago with 98K... currently on 133K with only an injector seal that let me down (very cheap fix). Sadly selling mine due to wanting to buy a house, if I didn’t have to sell I would run it to the ground.
@liam sweet hey m8, wanted to ask about piping diameter, do u run 3" to 2.5?
What downpipe?👀
What alloys are them ?
They are Audi RS6 style wheels.
- Dree
bro where did you find these bodykit parts🤩🤩
Hi. Liam (the owner) says the name of the skirt kit in the video and i'm quite sure he bought them on Ebay.
Thanks
Ken
What are those wheels called?
Unsure of the exact name but they are the newer style Audi RS6 Replica wheels.
As someone whos driving a modified 3.2tt and contemplating about buying a ttrs... How does this handles compared to a modified ttrs? Or just a modified tt in general... Not like i really need the back seats to start with but every 2nd of my colleagues has an a5 and they all want me to get one... Too bad none of them is modified, and the stock ones handle like a boat...
A modified ttrs is not really comparable to the A5 tbh. I have the ttrs myself and it is, and feels, lighter than the A5 which is expected. Depends what you want really. If you want something very tunable and insanely quick, buy the ttrs. If u want a good all rounder and cheaper to run & maintain, then buy the A5. The TTRS is quite pricey for most things because its an RS. Hope that helps.
Thanks
@@ken_accelerate thank you, i mostly asked about handling, as i drive 30miles a day(95%motorways and 5%traffic), so running costs arent that much difference, but when we go somewhere with my car, then i like to enjoy the roads... Ive never driven a lowered a5, or a stock tt (bought mine 1st look...lowered-spaced-arbs front and rear, so stiff as hell)
Also i wouldnt buy a manual ttrs (only car, so has to work well in traffic as well, dont wanna pay the clutch tax)
Knowing my driving/servicing methods, the ttrs is around 15%more to service yearly compared to my 3.2, but id be fine with it...
Also i wouldnt buy a diesel... Close to london i dont want to risk getting fged up by the ulez changes year by year... So id prob end up with an s5 if anything... But theyre still 200kilos heavier...
Also on the ttrs id stop around 450bhp (for the dailyabily)
@@UKfromadrone if you want handling then the ttrs is what you want. Mine is on bc racing coilovers and it is literally on rails. I have a manual and it was over 2k for a clutch and flywheel fitted. Anything over "stage 2" is expensive to do, e.g my turbo fitted was around 5k. But 400-440bhp is probably more than enough tbh for a spirited drive
@@ken_accelerate thank you, then i think ill stay with my original choice:D
Yeah for that much extra id rather buy a mk3ttrs or a v6s f type...
Even now im only thinking about selling the 3.2 because after a week of b road blasting holiday, i realised that 250bhp isnt enough "fast" for fun, and the 6th speed is too short for motorway cruising...
But ill miss the musicality of the vr6... And all the looks it gets everywhere i drive it...
Also even with full h&r setup it just aticks into corners at impossible speeds... I wouldnt go for coilovers, i had them on my volvo and it was way too crashy for a daily driver... But prob ill go w eibach/mss lowering springs this time
PLEASE!!!!!! LINK TO BUY THIS LIPS SOLITER Y SPOILER
dream car! are wheels 19" or 20"?
It is a very impressive car!
The wheels are 19 inch.
Thank you for watching!

searching for some videos. got a mapped 245hp to 300hp 3.0TDI a5, and wanna straight pipe it to, curious how it sound and else
Stock for you car are 245HP and 550NM^^
Have downpipe?
What year model is this car
It is a 2012 model.
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
What did you do to make a diesel car sound this nice ?
It was straight piped from the turbo back. These engines sound superb.
Thanks
KEn
Anyone know what the wheels are?
They are Rs6 replica wheels dude
Wow I love that. Can't believe it's a diesel and sound like that. I want 1
We were blown away by the sound (hence why I didn't stop talking about it in the video lol)
Thanks
- Drew
How much did it cost for the straight pipe mate?
About £500 mate £250 for the DPF Pipe and £250 for the backbox delete and custom pipe work :)
All the power gains came from an air filter, exhaust and tune?
That's correct. Removal of cat and DPF, air filter and a remap from a reputable company easily pushes them to just over 300bhp (to my surprise to be honest).
We have seen dyno results of people pushing between 302-313bhp with the same mods. Diesels certainly have come a long way!
Thanks.
-Drew
@@accelerateyoutube Wow that’s impressive. Thanks for the response
@@RB26DETT_ My pleasure, like I said I was very surprised to see a diesel perform (and sound) the way it did!
Thank you very much for watching.
- Drew
yup i got one and they do sound like this
Amazing what kind of pipes do you have on it ?
It has a custom (I believe 3 inch) pipe from the turbo back, no silencers etc.
- Drew
@@accelerateyoutube awesome sound and mods congrats. Wish i could mod mine like yours
Do you needed to reprog at stage 2 ?
Were did you get your paddle extentions. ?
ebay dude
Have you got a link mate, looking for some decent ones
Might be a stupid question but I thought I'd try my luck. How do these compare to a 335D? They seem to make a lot more HP at stage 1 despite both being 3L diesels
Well the owner; Liam, has owned a 330d and a few 335is so he may be able to give more info.
I have never driven a 335d but have heard very good things about them!
Thank you for watching.
- Drew
@liam sweet That is a very good point! Lol
- Drew
@liam sweet Hey, thanks for the helpful response! Haha very true it doesn't even compare sound wise, that's made it a much easier choice!
@@accelerateyoutube does Liam have an Instagram?
@@drakehunter5965 yes mate:
@liamsweets
Are they 19 inch wheels?
Yes they are dude
2 diesel kings a5 3.0 or 335d . Ive been driving for 5 years and max hp car ive been in is 108bhp which is my civic 1.6 vtec. Ive roamed autotrader and marketplace for months switching my mind between the two. 335 has 40bhp ish more but simple remap to 350bhp etc but worse interior and sound . a5 300bhp stage 1 but lovely interior and crazy sound.. Im just scared that if i get the audi ill get gapped my golf r which i doubt would happen in the 335d. Could anyone provide input as this is a massive decision for me . regardless both will feel like rockets to me
The A5 is more of a cruiser than the 335 I would say. Both really good cars though. I wouldn't worry about being "gapped" by a Golf R tbh. Depending how modified the R is they are very quick cars either way. You may be quicker than a stock 1 in a modded 335 but a 500bhp 1 will most likely be quicker. There's always quicker cars out there. Personally I would say get the BMW, as I prefer them, but the sound of the A5 like Liam's really does make that a harder choice.
Many Thanks
Ken
any new mods?
He sold it not long after the video.
Thanks
Ken
Any problems with the police or what would you do when it comes to an mot
He doesn't tend to have any issues with police etc. When MOT time comes around he just puts the cat/DPF back in.
Thank you for watching!

i'm sooooooooo jealous. you guys can do whatever it comes to your mind with your cars... try straight piping a car in Europe... police will take licence plates from your car if they find out the car is straigh piped, next u gonna get a pretty nice fine. after that they'll send your car to special controll point and after it passes all the tests you are able to register your car again... i'm talking from personal experience... straigh piped my own Audi A4 B7 3.0 v6 and when i got cought all together with paperwork, fine, repairs, putting back stock parts costed me over 4.000€ and 2 years of head-ache... all for a damn straigh pipes i was able to enjoy for like 9 months.. :(
Oh my god that is insane!
They are strict over here to a certain extent (and you will not pass MOT/safety check with a straight pipe.
But I pretty sure we don't have it as bad as you!
Where are you from?
Thank you for watching!
- Drew
Desiels typically don't sound like this even with an aftermarket exhaust, how does it sound so good? Is it because it's straight piped or am I missing something?
We genuinely have no idea! Lol it is literally straight piped fromt he turbo back. Along with a Remap and open air filter, that is it.
- Drew
Cause it's a V6, most diesels anyone hears are 4 cylinder
I have not the same car but an Audi A7 245 v6 3.0tdi which you will see on my channel currently as a project had the engine rebuilt so far I have a 3inch dpf and a back box delete darkside development air intake pipe just ordered a hybrid turbo and front mount intercooler Wagner the aim is 400bhp I may need to upgrade the fuel pump
Just watched your videos, that looked like a lot of work 😂 but it sounds mental!
Oh wow! Darkside certainly know what they are doing with diesels!
Thank you for watching!

he needs cardboard so if he cant get round a bend like that he can have some protection lol
