Audi A5 Exhaust Upgrade - Audi A5 Coupe Project part 3

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome to episode 3 of the Audi A5 project. Today we modify the exhaust to release some trapped noises. We deleted the catalytic converter (Cat) and also installed a stainless steel pipe to delete 1 resonator.
Now this is not a smooth install and it took us the entire day to do. If you want to do this yourself, then keep the following in mind:
- The bolts are hard to reach and may be rusted and therfore impossible to undo.
- When buying a cheaper downpipe, keep in mind that the fitment isnt as good as OEM, so adjustment is required.
- But most of all enjoy the process and let your car sound great!

    You put down pipe with out a racing catalyst?I mean you remove the factory one and you place another catalyst or not?

    hey i am considering getting an audi a5 2.0T just like yours the pre facelift model, but i heard that the pre Fl 2.0T have a big timing chain problem. Is that really such a big problem and is it expensive to maintain yearly?

    It is really an awesome car! The 2.0 TFSI are strong engines and I never heard of timing chain problems. There is one other problem that was fixed by audi which is the oil consumption. AUDI changed the pistons later on, so make sure the one you check out has this done to it. Maintenance isnt that expensive, I had to change the waterpump at around 300 euros and some brakes and new tires but nothing crazy

    @@jtscustomsNL Oh really? I though it would be at least 600 Euros. But then again, in Norway it's illegal to modify the car like this, and there are many controls around vehicles so you might be able to get away with it for maximum 2 years before the next control, then you'd have to revert the entire process and put back the OEM exhaust, for a 1 hour control then again reinstall the aftermarket exhaust. I have the exact same car as in the video; Or I'm picking it up in around 1-2 weeks actually. So not here yet, but soon to come. And I really want to install Milltek or Armytrix exhaust on it. One thing I regret when buying it is the fact that it's FWD. One push on the accelerator now and the front tires spin and bang up and down. Can't wait to see if they explode when I add a stage 1 on it. 180hk > 260hk
