*UPDATE* I can no longer recommend this exhaust. BUYER BEWARE!!! I have had some issues with it flexing and hitting the driveshaft of the car. It doesnt fit perfectly and started to hit the driveshaft. It has also has started to rattle. IPE has moves its production do China and since then the quality has dropped signifocantly to the point that is has cracked and dropped on other cars. If i have mislead anyone up to this point a truly apologise but i cant stand by a product like this.
@@Andrew-qs5yo catback, no. Turboback, "yes." Because it would need a tune. But I also phrase as "yes" because a warranty doesn't just get blanket voided. If something malfunctions and the dealer says it's a direct result of a mod, then they can deny that claim.
Just pick up an RS5 yesterday thinking "Man this thing needs an Exhaust". Then you drop this epic video lol. On another note, It's crazy how much louder your car sounds compared to the stage 2 B9 S5 I had. It had downpipes, res deletes, and a tune but the RS5 Sounds much louder/better.
The cold start is really really loud but then the car settles down and it isn't as crazy. With the valves closed it's as loud as the stock performance exhaust when its open (non GPF). I usually drive the car in auto mode and haven't blipped the rev range where the flaps open. Loving the sound and am happy I got Catted downpipes so it's not raspy. Anyways! Congratulations on your new car! You're gonna love it!
This is the first video that I watched on F1 exhausts and I just want to tell you thank you. You made it all simple for me to understand. I don't even have a car yet LOL
Awesome video, Car sounds brutal! I used to have the IPE system on my MK7R, same setup with the pneumatic valves but could be controlled by remotes or by throttle position. I had it set to open the valves pretty much where the kick down switch was on the throttle peddle. Liked this a lot as you could rev it out and at the top end open the valves. It sounded good but I wasn’t overly impressed with the quality for the price of these systems. That and it took them sending my 5, yes 5 downpipes before they sent me on that actually for properly! Glad you seem to have had a better experience though! Apart from lack of instructions 😂
Yeah I forgot to say but the kit fit extremely well. Usually when getting exhausts there's always something that misaligns but this was perfect! Sorry to hear about your experience though! I would have though the same if that happened to me tbf!
Sounds great! But that cold start 😱! Lol I was thinking of starting with the Bull-X res delete on my 2022 RS5...baby steps so my neighbours don't hate me.
That is SO AWESOME!!! i have the Fi exhaust catback, may i ask did you get any Cel light after the installed of your catted downpipe? Thank you! sounds absolutely sick and love your RS5 videos
hey man! it's been over a week and I didn't have a single CEL. With the valves closed on the road it's about the same as it was with the stock valves opened maybe a bit quieter. Very easy to live with so far and I will update if anything changes :) Thanks for the kind words man!
Sounds amazing Any suggestions for my 4 cylinder 2020 Mercedes C300? 😁 I’ve seen a kit by Armytrix Would like to tastefully step up the exhaust sound a bit
Hey man. I'm a new subscriber I also live in middle east. Albeit dubai. But how did they not remove the rev limiter? Sounds sus for a loud as heck system
Yes please when u do get that tuning done down the road i would love to see the video doing some tunnel runs and flybys and launch control take off i can already picture the awesomeness :)
Love the car! I have to say though, this exhaust is just too obnoxious for me. For the luxury/sport blend I just personally don't want to wake the neighbors up 2 blocks away during a cold start or cause hearing damage to anyone near the thing if im going WOT. Maybe im just getting old, but for a high end german sport lux.. too much!
Awesome sound!! also...Highly recommend RaceLine forged aluminum engine struts to replace what loos like fence post ones on the B9 RS5. Very easy DIY install and looks great! Will compliment your IPE intake!! Will send photo of mine if you reply.
Hey! Did you have to do some ECU modification after changing downpipes? I mean the problem with GPF, which is actually removed 😀 I'm planning to change downpipes in my RS4 B9.5, but no one is 100% sure about that fact with software.
My car didn't come with the GPF/OPF so I didn't have to tune it. However at this moment of time I can no longer recommend this exhaust. The quality has been a let down and I will be changing the cat back to Milltek. IPE moved its production to China and has really dropped the ball. The downpipes themselves are solid though.
@Snowcatsrt Oh, I see... in Europe, we have a factory mounted GPF filter, so we have to cut it off... 😅 I can truly recommend Milltek non resonated exhaust. I have one for 2 years, and it sounds great. The quality is nice. The only thing that, in my opinion, is missing in this set is a remote controller to the exhaust valves. It's worth buying it additionally to have a possibility to open the flaps permanently. Thank you!
@@miki13330 awesome! That gives me hope! Are you using the original modules from the sport exhaust? My installer said that I can use them to basically switch with the button on the wheel. Wait a second are you Polish?
@Snowcatsrt I'm using valves module, which was switched up from the OEM exhaust. The series system to control the flaps with drive selects was for me unacceptable because flaps were always closed under 2000 RPM... that's why I bought from the German brand Alpha Customs the flap controller with a remote. In this way, with a remote, I can set the flaps pernamently opened, even under the 2000 RPM. Yes, I'm from Poland 😉
@@miki13330 The problem I have is that with downpipes it's extremely loud. I am hoping the Milltek will quiet it down a little bit 😅 Ja niedługo się zbieram na stage 2, ale najpierw muszę wydech ogarnąć. W rejonach Arabskich zawsze są problemy z valvetronic. Po jakimś czasie się zacinają, bo za gorąco, albo za dużo soli 😅 Często myślę, że fajnie by było znowu po Polsce i Europie jeździć RS5. Quattro musi być bardzo przydatne zimą! Pozdrawiam
@Snowcat_srt hey! I have same year RS4 B9.5 but with nonresonated milltek. I want to do downpipes with high flow cats as yours. Is it OK to ride with this exhaust system on the highway when the flaps are closed?
Man that's strange you need an app to control the exhaust. Never seen this before. I have a 15 s5 with ecs valved exhaust and was pretty strait forward install and it just comes with a little fob you put on your Keychain to open and close the valves. No apps or any of that nonsense. But your exhaust should be able to work without an app. Other exhaust brands work off the factory exhaust button like you mentioned you thought it would. Just strange. Who has time while driving to open an app and turn your exhaust off if you see cop or whatever. Then you get 2 tickets,one for loud exhaust, one for using phone while driving lol. 😂
Bruh totally! I set up the app to open the valves at 4000rpm so I need to drive quite aggressively. Better yet the app is not available on my new phone and I need to keep my old one to change anything. Maaaan what a hassle. I am thinking of getting an axle back that connects to the OEM but can't really find any brands! Let me know if you know 😅
@Snowcat_srt oh that's terrible my man, I'm assuming you've reached out to them to confirm you can't hook it up to the factory button? Hopefully someone reads this with some better answers for you, I'm trading up to a ttrs or rs5 soon so been looking at exhaust videos and I know for the ttrs there's setups that work with the factory switch, I would assume that some of those brands also make systems for rs5.
I don't know where people get the idea to change the exhaust that is perfect on the car with some Chinese crap that was produced in some workshop that has three squares 😂
@@Snowcatsrt If you want to switch to a more low key sound, look into the Remus systems, they work with the stock actuators and are not obnoxiously loud. I have the system on my B9 RS5 and love it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ts2aj3kzZyY.html
