This is a comprehensive review of exhaust cutouts on my 2014 Audi S8, which I installed 2/5/20. LOVE THEM!
Cutout Hardware Installed: (both from Summit, but shop around)
- Granatelli Motorsports part #307525K (www.summitraci...)
- Granatelli Motorsports part #303510RD (www.summitraci...)
Details of the Video:
I created this detailed video because, as I was researching my exhaust options, there wasn't much information that was relevant to my particular model car (or newer generation Audi 4.0s, in general). I wanted to do more than throw up some random sound clips; I wanted to include information that would have been helpful to me as I was researching exhaust options.
The general layout of the video is as such:
- Overview/details of cutout installation and installation of remote-control module.
- Standardized sound clips at 25%, 50%, and 100% throttle with the cutouts both open and closed.
- Sound clips from bumper, interior, and drive-bys... to give you the complete picture of what these bad boys sound like.
For best sound accuracy, wear headphones/earbuds
Here are a few more relevant details of my car:
- 2014 Audi S8, APR Stage 1
- All 2.5" exhaust piping
- Baby resonators and suitcase replaced with custom x-pipe
- Valved mufflers are unplugged, which keeps the valves open (so, "closed" in the videos represents the loudest, most raucous the stock mufflers can sound)
ENJOY!
