Best video by far on showing how to install cats . Thank you
RodizzleS4 thank you :)
When you wired in the controller did you do it to a ignition live location or straight to battery, if so does it drain the car if it sits
I have heard this vehicle in person! It is awesome with the exhaust valves are open!! Highly recommend listening to the sounds on high quality headphones, a lot closer to what they sound like in person.
Do this exhaust has popping sound when shift gear?
Ka Chai it does not, but I could add crackle pop to make the noise you’re talking about.
@@boostdynamictuning wait is your car a manual or dsg?
@@dilpreetsidhu658 dsg
@@boostdynamictuning damn what happened to the dsg pops?
Personally have rode in this car! Looks great, sounds great, FAST! Keep up the great videos and tunes Trent!
nicknewton1987 thanks nick! Can’t wait to go ported s/c!
your taste is music is good man
how much did the kit cost at the time of purchase? 2-3 months ago the price was 1100-1200 dollars, now 1900
I wish I could recall, but I know it wasn't $1900.
From what I can tell you connected the power cable directly to the battery terminal. Any issues? My installer did the same. Since then if I don't drive the vehicle for a week the battery is drained. A tech noticed the power cable and thinks that could be the cause.
I didn't have any issues. I also wired up my ethonal sensor, and both didn't drain the battery after multiple days of sitting. It's most likely weak battery.
So it looks like you T'd into an existing vaccume line? Hard to tell from the vid but did you buy the Boost tap kit? And if you did buy the Boost tap I think it's ridiculous that you would need to buy a separate part to install this exhaust. Great vid
Yes, I did T into the vacuums pump line, which from factory has a plug that needs to be removed to install the valved exhausted. If you check out my ported and polished supercharger video at timestamp 2:38, I talk about it a little bit.
It’s been a year now. How is the exhaust holding up now? How about the Red Star component? I’m looking to do this exact same setup and looking for any addition input you have. Thx!!
Holding up great with the latest flex pipes from ecs. Four sets broke before they resolved the issue. Other than that no issue!
@@boostdynamictuning good to hear. That’s the setup I wanted before seeing your vid and now I’m sure I want it.
@@boostdynamictuning Can you tell what changes they made to make it more robust?
@@kevint5175 the flex pipe is upgraded.
whats the test pipe brand you used? Im about to do this upgrade to mine.
deadbotcorp red starr
Do you have a lot of issues with the exhaust?
Someone told the exhaust doesn’t has good quality
Exhaust was good quality just issues with the flex pipe is the only issue
Why did you go with this setup over the AWE Touring? Looking to go stage 2 single pulley, but haven't closed on an exhaust setup yet. I know the sound/vibrations have been reported with more drone and shake when you throw test pipes into the mix.
Brandon Sweeney awe in my opinion was too loud all the time. Ecs gives you control and also there’s very small to no drone. Which is a huge issue with our 3.0t engines.
@@boostdynamictuning Good info, thanks for the quick reply.

^ one of the posts i found that was steering me away from the ECS setup.
Brandon Sweeney this guy hacked together a kit and was testing setups. It’s a little different there buying the actual kit that ecs sells. I’ve flashed over 100 files on my car meaning it’s go full throttle/launched 100 times. It’s held up very well except for flex pipes breaking but I’m racking that up too old design plus engine mounts.
@@boostdynamictuning Did you end up getting fix for the shake/vibration?
What do you mean by vibration?
Damn there is a group buy going and now I dont think I'm going to buy 1
Check out my "Exhaust Review" video. I go in-depth about what I loved and hated about this set up. I talk about the vibration specifically, and I also added a video clip for example.
Is this resonated or non resonated?
Yes, it's resonated.
How bad is the drone with the valves closed?
Very close to zero, that is the biggest positive of this exhaust setup. Now open tons
How did you get your trunk grommet handled? ECS and you both fail to show how to get a hose through
Ryan Johnston I cut a slit on the rubber lining/garment and pushed it through 😁
Boost Dynamic Tuning my B8 has a plastic component on the other side... ended up drilling a hole in the trunk 🤦♂️
Ryan Johnston oh snap, didn’t know b8 was different. Noted
What trunk lip is that?
i have the same exhaust and the flex portion keep cracking on me. first it was the passenger side which i replaced and now my driver side downpipe is cracked
I'm having the same problem 2nd set of down pipes
Will be putting on 3rd set under warranty
do you need a boost tap for the vacuum line?
Vinnie G yes
T into the vacuums pump line, which from factory has a plug that needs to be removed to install the valved exhausted. If you check out my ported and polished supercharger video at timestamp 2:38, I talk about it a little bit.
so test pipes and unresonated downpipes?
Tommy Plante corrrect
@@boostdynamictuning wouldntit be less raspy and deep with resonated dp? did you figure out yet the vibrations issue?
Tommy Plante solution is here

YOU NEED TO BUY A BOOST TAP ALSO IF YOU BUY THIS EXHAUST, OTHERWISE THE VALVES WILL NOT OPEN/CLOSE!
Actually, the cool part is, you don't. You just have to T into the vacuums pump line, which from factory has a plug that needs to be removed to install the valved exhausted. If you check out my ported and polished supercharger video at timestamp 2:38, I talk about it a little bit.
Do you have the jhm test pipes?
I don’t. In this video I have Ebay test pipes. I’ve recently bought red star test pipes with heat shields. I broke the Ebay test pipes one month in.
Sounds amazing! hows the smell from the test pipes?
Cj__b7 at the rear horrible 😂 but in the cabin you don’t smell it.
why doesn't it fart when switching into the next gear?
JUAN PINTO this was during testing tune phase. I use to use amax shifting instead of ignition cut. Watch my new s4 videos on my Facebook page and you’ll see the updated tune. I calibrated my car my self, no off the shelf stuff.
I'm a few months late, but the dsg doesn't fart when using launch control, and it seems like these sound clips were of launch control. It doesn't fart because during launch control, both clutches are apparently engaged at the same time to slow the engine down. Instead of retarding the timing which is what usually occurs on dsg shifts, because it's too fast the rpm doesn't have enough time to drop.
Wow that looks super fast. What hp are you pushing?
Scott Armstrong haven’t had a chance to hit the Dyno yet, but I’m shifting for the 480-500whp mark. Should be getting some numbers here shortly :)
I was hoping it would sound better than that. It's pretty raspy.
Watch the update video, the exhaust noise has changed since fixing vibration issue.
@@boostdynamictuning what update video
This system is garbage I'm on my 3rd set of downpipes they keep breaking at the flex joint lasted about 5,000miles each time. The actuators are completely seized after 12,000 miles valves are permanently stuck. Complex exhaust with cheap valve cutouts from cheap Chinese company.
Did ECS refund you?
