If you want to have the best downshift backfires, put it in Individual, all settings auto except the Exhaust sound Dynamic. Also drive it in sport automatic mode, that way the crackles fron 4->3->2 are the best 😁 Greetings from Switzerland ✌️

Thanks Kory. The shift into neutral to rev the engine had me perplexed. Only owned the car a few weeks. Now I have a smile on my face as I put it BACK in dynamic after shifting to neutral! Thanks for the grins!

I’ve owned my RS3 for awhile now and never knew about the rolling anti lag trick! Thanks for the video 😮

Bought 2018 daza yesterday - love it! Really useful info on your channel will give these a try!

Cool share! Now I need an RS3 lol! I've been watching as many videos as I can...current 15' STI owner looking for new snow machine.

I freaked out when I discovered what happens when you floor it at 60mph in D. For a split second I thought the clutch broke or something then I realized it was a freaking rolling launch control kinda thing. xD Nice video once again! Nice to see that there are other people out there too that are trying to figure out the spiritual side of the RS3's sound life, which tbh is a little complicated to understand!

Thank u! That neutral move is huge. More videos like this please :)

I've been waiting for a video on this topic. Excellent work mate😉

Will check back here when I pick mine up later this year 😁👍

Cool video, I’ve had my RS3 sedan since May and already 10k km. Had a stage 1 eTuners Motorsport tune for about 2 months now and loving it, always learning different ways to get the best performance with driving techniques. I’m 50/50 driving in S or D in Dynamic, manual very rarely THB.

First, great video. That last trick I learned when finally being able to pass someone. I knew the DSG wouldn’t kick in fast enough if I just floored it so I downshifted myself and then smashed it. I was like, “wow they programmed it with a passing mode that really lets them know how crazy they made me.” 😂 I absolutely love this thing.

Great video, I bought a valve controller and some of the sounds at low rpm are pretty impressive

OMFG thanks Kory. I got an rs3 recently (i also live in brisbane) and it kept fucking with my head that my car just starts "LC" when i'm just trying to aggressively downshift for a turn but instead gives me the LC sound (as well as just kind rolling at the same speed). I thought my gearbox got fucked. Now that you actually told me that it's intentional LC while rolling, you saved me a massive headache. I kept complaining to audi it kept "holding revs" sometimes when i would downshift instead of actually just going but they just reported back to me that there are no problems and don't get what I am talking about. Thank you!

Love it mate. Very sound understanding of all this cars quirks! 👍🏼

I noticed one a few times last night in mine. While cruising in 4th gear around 3400 RPM then you downshift, as it blips it pops real loud. Was able to do it a few times in a row. I’ve also noticed it in other gears but around 3400 RPM. Mine is a 2019 US spec (DAZA) with the catless midpipes. I have also tried some of the things you’ve done in this video and they work on mine! 2018’s can pop a little bit more from factory but with 19’s they’ve sort of toned them down a bit.

Kinda nerdy but 100% awesome. I'm putting my order in soon and I'm so excited. And here I was thinking I was cool cause I can get my S3 to drop 2 gears by double clicking a paddle and this dude turned his RS3 into a pipe organ.

@KoryNunn

Might be the same on the S3, but on the RS3 you can hold the paddle to make the car go as far as it can down or up gears, so if you're cruising in 5th at say 60, hold down, it'll skip down to 2nd.

What is this, a fucking instrument? Yes, yes it is.

2 to 3 3/4 throttle is good... but my favorite is full send 3 to 4 and then to 5. On downshift at 100 km/h 4 to 3

You missed out the launch sounds mate..

I'm a lot more interested in getting the sunroof in my RS3 to stop creaking than I am coaxing new sounds out of it. My brand new 70k Audi sounds like the damn Santa Maria driving around town. I've already had it at the dealership once, but it's still doing it. Apparently the next step involves taking the headliner out, which I'm not even remotely stoked about. It seems really unlikely it'll get put back together as well as from the factory.

Each time you start the car, you need to cycle back through to Dynamic to get ludicrous mode exhaust sounds (or is that just n=my car?).

@KoryNunn

Yep same for all rs3s, it's a little bit annoying.

How often did the downshift crackles happen? Seems like the PFL models do it more frequently regardless of RPM and gear. Will be in the market soon and was set on a FL model but the sound of the PFL has left me undecided.

@KoryNunn

Pfls seem to crackle almost every time on a downshift. Fls almost never do. That said, fls are better in basically every other way, they are significantly faster and handle better. I'm optimistic that I can put crackles into my fl.

How about this: dynamic sport in auto. Upshift manually with the paddle to something fairly unreasonable like 3rd or 4th at low speed. Then as your decelerating, pull back the stick to re-engage auto and have it down shift. **Crack**

Did it start doing being not as pronounced after you unplugged the valves? If you not running a valve controller like the ASR one that’s probably why.

When in second gear, around 15-20mph very low revs (Sorry, we Brits don't use meaningless kph) start to depress the throttle and down shit into first. Many times I've had loud pops and bangs from the exhaust doing this. Might have to play around with the speed/revs when doing this.

This car does NOT have antilag or rolling launch control lol. You're simply mashing the gas while the car is in between gears, which make the revs jump (because it's momentarily in neutral). Once the car is back into gear, of course it is going to take off. A true rolling launch system allows you to build boost for as long as you need and then launch the car at the exact moment you want. Just like the actual launch control the car does have. And do you even know what antilag actually is? VERY few road cars actually have this.

@KoryNunn

5 жыл бұрын

I'll admit that the RS3 does not have true rolling launch, or anti-lag, as you would find on a race car, but it does do a form of boost building via retarding timing just like how "real" anti-lag works. Yes, it's related to the timing of gearshifts, but it's not only due to being in neutral, and I have the footage to prove it coming in a video soon.
