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.

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
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🥰
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!

That’s what I’m most concerned about, is drone on cruising speed. Can’t wait for your full review. Great content man!
Yeah that'll go up next week. Definitely super livable of a setup
Kind of shocked that lowering springs were needed because past reviews seems to say the new RS3 was a step up on the handling front.
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!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Good to know! Many thanks.
No problem! We love the car so much more with the springs and spacers!
What percentage of sound increase came from exhaust vs mid pipe? Leaning towards keeping stock exhaust and just the mids
Maybe 20% more volume. I've heard people just do the midpipes and they alone add a good amount of sound
@@BrosFOURRSpeed so it was 80% awe exhaust and only 20% mids?

Are you going to have to put those cats back one once you need to start getting emissions tested on an annual basis?
We don't have emission testing where I live, so I don't need to worry about that for an inspection.
