B8 A4 Downpipe Install - Sounds WICKED with Crackles! 

I can’t remember if this one was coated am sure they probably have a bit on it and it’s likely from the new gaskets and the pipe warming up for the first time, probably wouldn’t worry too much!

Normal for new exhausts to smoke while breaking in

I’ve got the same on my a4, mine had the same thing when we first started it up, one all the oil burned off it was fine

Came with the intake kit!

You buy it off of EBay for like $123 plus tax

Not entirely sure, most likely just some random one off amazon/ ebay from the previous owner!

Fuck front plates

just don’t use a front plate

Yes, I wish I could keep it but unfortunately the platform is very limited with the amount of power it can make without spending some serious cash, there will be sick stuff to come once the new car is in the garage that is for sure, I want my channel to explode so I gotta start doing some crazy shit haha

@@ThatGuyTyy I hear ya ! Just recently got a 2.0t a3 myself haha. But sweet man! I’m excited to see what’s to come on the channel 👍🏻👊🏻

@@Cam-fq4rh After some recent developments I will be doing some more technical data analysis stuff for the A3 that some people may find useful! I'll probably film that this weekend!

@@ThatGuyTyy ohh, good stuff man! Can’t wait 👍🏻

Yes we are!

It might be a water pump

@@MutammimChowdhury happens when you run a block off plate//pcv delete

Rear main seal most likely,there notorious for failure,if it was burning that much oil is notice it coming out the exuast,,clear sign of the seals bad is oil coming from the bell housing,,hopes that helps you out ,,lean codes when ur oil is low is will mean it's real bad

Hey my car had the same issue at the beginning what i changed was the oil seperator , the diverter valve, and when you do the oil change buy the dr.lucas oil stabilizer before i had to be changing the oil every 2k to 3k if im not wrong but now it last me at least 4k to 5k before it hirs the min oil I highly recommend it.

@@carlost0929 I’m currently using motomaster OE plus 5W-30, which oil are you using, was your car burning 1 litre every 350 miles ? I already ordered the PCV valve from ECS tuning just to try to see if that fixes the problem and is not something a lot worse 😓, also how do you use that dr.Lucas oil stabilizer ? 😅

@@samwh4775 This era EA888 Gen 2 motors had (allegedly) a significant design flaw with the piston rings which could cause them to become damaged and allow significant amounts of oil to be burned. I have an 09' A4 2.0T with this engine and it used to burn 1L/1000km's which is around 1qt/590 miles, which is a bit less than what you are using. The only real permanent fix for this is to replace the pistons and rings, and repair any damage done by the rings to the block. Audi used to offer this repair for free due to a class action lawsuit, but the window for that free repair is long gone. Since the car only has 51k miles on it id wager that the block is still fine. You could just feed the beast oil every time you fill the tank like a god damn rotary lol, but over time if the issue is not fixed the issue will cause scoring on the cylinder walls which could lead to engine failure. The "replace rear main" mentioned by some commentors was the original fix offered by audi before they acknowledged the actual cause of the issue, but the root cause is (thought to be) the rings. Note: I am saying allegedly because there was a class action lawsuit in 2015 about this issues, which resulted in audi agreeing to fix all affected engines but not admitting fault, or that there was anything wrong with the motor. Im not a laywer or mechanic, just an owner of this damned motor whos had experiences with it, again check with your mechanic, though this issue is quite well documented in the forums and lawyer's websites. Sorry to break the bad news, this is kind of the initiation ritual for the 09-11 A4 2.0T owners club lol, practically all of these engines have/will experience this issue at some point in their life. Edit: Did my maths on oil usage wrong, has been fixed

need a stage 2 tune to go catless with no cel

Swapped steering wheel from a previous owner

Yes

Needs primary o2 delete or “stage 2” tune

CTS website

No

Just H&R!

@@ThatGuyTyy do you think i would need shocks or anything else or can i just put those h&r springs?

Nothing needs to be chopped

I can't get it out not sure what I did wrong 😭

Take it out the top not the bottom - should only be like a 16” section

@@ThatGuyTyy right after I said this I got it out y'all made it look too easy this shit was a STRUGGLE 🤣

@@ThatGuyTyy and I did go out the top it just was just barely bumping against shit so annoying

i got mine off of CariD and yes they work with non LED

Catless*

Not too bad surprisingly enough

Yes, deleting the cat itself will provide (maybe) minor gains, but to unlock full benefits you need to tune it.

@@ThatGuyTyy how much does it cost on average? The ECU tune for a car delete?

Depends on what company you choose to tune with, usually around 5-700$

@@ThatGuyTyy is this for stage 1 or 2?

It’s just scosche mount, nothing fancy

Wait is this for the A4 or the A3?

@@ThatGuyTyy 2012 a3 just like yours but my is awd. Isn't that mount that 9ne that goes in between the vents ?

Yes mine is made by clear mounts, it goes behind the vents and pokes out in the middle!

@@ThatGuyTyy thanks. Gonna order the low profile one. Ive order 2 from Amazon but dont fit the vents

You betcha!

I've seen that taking of one of the 2 resonators really makes a good difference then taking the turbo muffler off and installing a better air intake is gonna make it sound amazing. Last step would be a stage 2 tune or sum but thats just imo.

It has an AWE catback, but a lot of the resonator and muffler has been removed, it's almost fully straight piped aside from a smaller muffler!

I believe this had chopped springs so who really knows haha

Probably not, you’d have to Google it

stock*^

@@tristansully4648 this is just a stock tune in this video, the one after this has a full crackle tune

Catless exhausts need to be tuned for it, so yes you will get a CEL

19’s I’m pretty sure

*Very* common issue on that gen A4. Have a 09 A4, had the same issue, only real permenant fix is to get the engine rebuilt. You used to be able to get it done under warranty by audi (there was a class action) but now you have to pay for it out of pocket. Everyone I know with a car with the EA888 Gen 2 has this issue. Either rebuild or just keep feeding it oil though eventually you may start to get some serious piston slap on cold starts which can very quickly destroy the engine.

@@Byefriendo is this the same issue for a 2012 or did they somewhat fix it by then?

@@rudyl.103 I think they fixed em by them, but not 100% sure

Gas

@@ThatGuyTyy yeah I know you Americans call it has but it’s with petroleum or diesel

Your comment is irrelevant, to each their own pal.

Oof ouch my feelings 🥴

I was only joking jeez 😝 i also put in a full exhaust on my wifeys A4 B9 it actually sounds badass

ngernon_

You can run a test pipe as long as your ECU gets tuned for it. Could be a stage 1, but specifically would need to have the O2 faults coded out.

Anything that can be done with vcds?
