I ordered this based off of other videos I saw and was thinking that it wouldn’t make much of a difference. I saw this and I changed my mind completely. I also have the sport exhaust fitted from factory and can’t wait to install this x-pipe and get it out on the roads.
Awesome! I just wish ECS would know how many people ordered their XPIPE after they saw my vid LOL might get a free shirt...question did you unplug your sport exhaust flap?
that x pipe is in the wrong spot and adds zero hp. The jhm x pipe by the downpipes actually does add hp. I have this car with Capristo and it sounds amazing!
This car looks and sounds way better than my '21 RS5. No doubt about it. I'm moving to Portland so look for a sonoma green metallic one with boring stock wheels
Hey thanks for the comment, I will say though that the new RS5 is better in every thing you can measure, it’s faster, better interior and tech, much more tuning options…welcome to the area and I will definitely keep my out for ya!
I really do love this car, the sound, the confidence of AWD, when people see me pull up the car gets complements all the time! Are you thinking about getting one?
I’m ironically taking it to the shop today, could be something or could be nothing…the car through up a lean fuel code last week. Other than basic oil change it the first problem I have had

Man im stuck deciding between this or a 2014-15 S7. I keep gravitating towards the RS5 but everyone keeps saying the S7 is the way to go. I do like the twin turbo V8 idea but i really like the way this sounds and i feel like it handles better....
Loved the video! I have had my RS5 for a few months now and am deciding on what exhaust, if any, I want. AWE is not far from me and they are at $2300 installed. Great sound, very loud and deep but expensive, Plus, I have the sport exhaust on the car and AWE eliminates the sport exhaust valve(s).

I still have the x pipe…Daytona grey was my first color option but I couldn’t find one with black optics and adaptive cruise control…I would love too see yours
@@rs5pdx That's funny, I first looked at a black one with titanium package, sport exhaust, but ended up going down to a dealer an hour away and they had 4 2015 RS5's. 2 in Daytona Grey Pearl, one black and one blue. The two Grey ones were nearly identical but the one I got had the adaptive cruise control and 20 inch rims. Plus, it had the lowest miles of anyone I saw that day. One owner. That was my second favorite color but it did creep up on me and loved it. I had a white TTS before so I was gonna go black. Never wanted a silver anything; but the grey is so freakin' nice. I would show you a pic, but I don't know how to on here. I just had to pimp my ride out a big and got some really nice mats, puddle lights with the rings/red Audi letters and RS5 sport seat lettering. I don't have black optics.
Thanks! you know for me a big factor was weather...I live in a place where it rains 200+ days a year and having AWD was a major reason why I picked the audi
I had the same decision to make. M4 has better stats on paper, but I decided on the RS5 because of the V8 Engine and because of its luxury vibe. BMW interiors aren’t too great.
You said you've owned the car for a year and a half, what service you/they have done? DSG service? Oil change? Brake rotors/pads? Any electrical/wiring issue?
Literally the right high/low beam headlight went out a few days ago...other than that the only thing I’ve done is oil changes, I’m at 50k miles and DSG service is at 55k
I think the oil change is 130$ but I just got it rolled into my XPIPE install...I have yet to do the DSG service, I still have 5k miles before it needs to be done. But it’s around 1800 to do that and all the required maintenance for my 55k mile service...I average 6k miles every 12 months...I live 1 mile from work LOL
Quaker the only time I hear drone is when I am driving in D mode under medium throttle...it’s not a situation I find myself in a lot, but yes that is when you will get a drone...but I would never give up the xpipe upgrade
Just asking did you get the V8 or the new V6? Because the xpipe on the V8 is a game changer for sure! You will find it difficult to keep your foot out of it

I think it’s currently going for 300 USD but I’m sure they have many options in Europe for an XPIPE, you could even take it to a muffler shop and get a DIY xpipe
The Xpipe deletes the resonator,so it’s louder but still livable.... I still have the flaps but I disabled them from closing by pulling out the plug that controls them opening and closing...super easy it’s in the truck...are you wanting to get exhaust work done?
