It was great to see you and your wife do projects together. Last year I put an intake on my TTRS and my girlfriend gave me some lemonade lol. But she stayed out with me the whole time 👍🏾. Trust me the 5 cylinder is a joy to mod.
Alex on Autos review of the RS3 stands out since he said it was the best performance car he's tested in the last few years!! Said he liked it better than the caddie black wing, Supra, M3, and many more! Joe Achilles did a 1,500-mile review, and he's a massive bmw fanboy . He said the ride quality was so good that only 150k M5 CS could possibly rival it! Also said it's worth every penny and would have bought one if there weren't huge markups at the time!!
I'm flabbergasted to hear you say that you didn't think it was way better than the S3 out of the box lol! Also, this car is phenomenal in stock form, so you two are extremely picky buyers to even second guess such a well put together car imo!!😂
The steering and handling just felt so vague. S3 was a little go cart. This is still faster with better tech and refinements. But the S3 was more mechanical and felt shrunken around you. This felt bulky with the stock suspension and still doesn't steer as direct
Very true. The more we drive the older school sports cars, the more we like mechanical hydraulic steering. The new stuff is hit or miss if it feels direct or not
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it's all about how they tune the EPS, i think the RS3 is a fantastic car all around but I agree, it handles very...commuter. I'm kind of OK with that tho, under the context of it being a DD to do school runs and grocery stores. It's funny, I found your channel after I got my Supra and (have almost) convinced my wife to buy an RS3. If we wind up getting it, I guess I'll also be buying all the same stuff you get for the RS3 as well 🤣
@@LordOfOlympusRS3 handles commuter you say, but it's faster around a track then a Supra! RS3 had set a record around the ring in Germany for its class with zero mods! It was faster than the M2CS even lol, so it handes way better then you imagine trust me! My friend has the Supra by the way so I know it's capabilites!
I got resonated short tails for my Infiniti G37 and was disappointed with how quite it was... Until I got some high flow cats for it! Sounded sooo much better! Love the Upgrade for the RS3 ❤️🔥😎
Great video man! Newly subscribed and going through them all. I have an '18 rs3, going to be doing midpipes and intake soon. I see you're using jack stands but what is the floor jack lifting up on? I'd appreciate any info!
Great video, great sound and good work both of you... Love the sound from the 5cyl... The RS3 is definitely a mix of a Lambo and GTR👌 I also have a RS3 myself and I love her🥰
Do you have a valve controller on your RS3? And what rpm range does it drone when valves are open? And how much percentage increase in drone would you say when adding in the catless mids?
No valve controller. In comfort mode there isn’t any drone. If you keep things under 3k, it hardly sounds different than stock. Above 4k is when you hear it most. With valve opened, slow speeds is a bit of drone. But not much. So it’s the perfect blend.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Are you thinking about adding a valve controller? You may already know that even in dynamic mode the valves aren't always open 100% of the time unfortunately. But the tradeoff might be even more added drone in the lower rpm range.
@@djb85 Probably not. I had it in the S3. Made a big difference since the valves pretty much only opened in high rpm regardless of drive more. This opens nicely in RS modes. So we like the blend

I'm gonna ask a stupid question here: I'm guessing NC doesn't have emissions testing, right? We do here in Illinois. Smh. Your Mrs. Is the coolest!!! 😎
Yeah the new springs really helped dial in the handling. The FWD bias drivetrain makes the stock handling and steering feel pretty off and vague. The lower stance helps a ton!
Hi guys love your stuff is your Audi rs3 a 2024 8Y Because I’m told from exhaust specialists my new 2024 has GPF (gasoline particulate filters ) can’t put mid pipe .like on the 8V Is this true?
The link to the midpipes in the description should work. click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=dvBMyjKSCBs&mid=43304&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ecstuning.com%2Fb-unitronic-parts%2Funitronic-midpipes-for-25tfsi-evo%2Fuh034-exa~unt%2F&u1=4241358 ECS tuning carries the midpipes.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I currently have an 8V S3 lol I wish I could get what I paid for it- that’s what got me watching you. Love what yall have been doing with your cars 💪

@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you! Apologies I didn't read the full description. And to confirm, you added these on the exhaust you installed from the same company?
@@davidhurley3797 I have the AWE exhaust. brosfourrspeed.com/parts-%26-merchandise/ols/products/awe-cat-back-exhaust-system-rs3-25t These midpipes fit the stock exhaust and the AWE perfectly 👌🏻
Sounds plenty loud now with the valve open. Any straight pipe mid pipe will work. I went with Unitronic. But there's other brands. All will be the same
Nope. A dealer would have to price this part caused an issue. If I did a carless downpipe and something happened with the turbo or 02 sensors, then they may void warranty on those specific parts. But a dealer has to show the part you installed caused an issue.
Like you, I am having major buyers remorse. Currently running unitronic mids and control valve module. Did the exhaust help that much or is the car still.. meh?
For European models, there are 4 sensors attached to the cat pipes. I need special decat pipes to which those sensors can be connected for my Rs3 2023, otherwise the check engine will light up 😢
this video was my inspiration to replace mid pipes in my 2024 RS 3 .. and i was nearly about to purchase pipes from internet but im soo disappointed that my car does not give me option to do it my middpipes are permanently connected with downpipe as one thing soo sad .... anyway its great watching your videos here on YT
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Unfortunately No and to be honest i was glad that i looked under the car before i actually ordered a pipes i have seen few videos on YT including yours about how easy is to do it but i cant do it on mine unless i replace all downpipe with midpipes which i dont want to do it for warranty purposes my car is beginning of 2024 UK spec so not sure if audi has change something due to some many people replacing those parts i dont know but im quite disappointed anyway I still love my RS3 such a great car
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I have noticed that if is for UK it usually is different or limited to options we dont get in UK option like that green or red fancy interior with alcantara steering wheel etc my exhaust is upgraded to RS performance exhaust from factory but that s it Do you actually plan anything else to your wife's RS3?
Straight pipe full catless downpipes is needed to hear that beautiful 2.5 and nice stock turbo . I definitely see that the b58 is just the better sounding also
I had a Supra before and also will agree with the comments. The RS3 sounds way better and more unique. The only car that sounds like this is the V10 . But , I do miss the B58 platform and it sounds great
Nope. If you delete the primary cat you might smell a little bit of soot. But the secondary cats don't do much. Even on my old Supra and GTR that were straight piped completely, never really smelled anything
Yeah and a 5 cylinder sounds very similar to a V10. I own a Gallardo and you can hear a very similar tone from these engines since they are almost derived from the same thing. The Lambo V10 is basically two of these 5 cylinders
I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope it doesn't take long for you to get it repaired! If you didn't get hurt in the accident, that's the most important thing at the end of the day! Hope all goes well 🙏
