B9 RS5 Gatecrasher

[stevo55]

Seeing as the RS5 thread has tumbleweeds blowing through it and this one is very active -thought I'd gatecrash seeing as we share the same engine and platform (ish)!
Was going back to a C7 RS6 but wanted to rule out an RS5. One test drive later I was sold! Ok so it's not as raw and raucous as the 6 nor feels as savage but makes up for it and more in so many other ways. Jan 2018 build and around £83k new. 11,800 on the clock and 1 month ago picked it up for just under £49k. Also came with £2k worth of PPF and the previous owner did about £5k miles a year and really looked after it. The RS4 was just coming in at too much money for the spec I was after (pretty big to be honest) and I didn't want to spend too much (as if £49k is chicken feed). Audi did me a good enough deal and I'm paying only £26.00 a month more than my old M3.
Few questions though:
German & US markets seemed to get the RS branded car mats but can't find any here? Ebay etc only have the LHD ones which won't fit I believe. Anyone picked any OEM ones up?
Sound......cold start sounds ok but it's not exactly a sense of occasion which leads me to aftermarkets. Anyone fitted a Milltek yet? They sound good from the YouTube videos but wanted first hand experience preferably.
Not too sure if it needs a tune but I'll certainly look at the options. MRC don't have the B9 on their site but firms such as DMS and Litchfield do. Anyone taken the plunge yet?
Seriously happy with the car though (when I can drive it) it's a worthy replacement to the M3

I have RS branded floormats, they came with the car (lhd). I suppose they also excist for the RS5.
Was part of the interior package.
The exhaust will open up regarding sound, drive it some more.
Mine changed each time a bit when gunning it. I like how it sounds now. (Sports exhaust)
Tuning has been done too, there is a quite recent thread.

Yeah, the exhaust does get better with time (Although it might also be that it's longer since I had a B8, so I might have just got used to the B9 sound)
I went in a B9 with an Akra Exhaust, and although it was very loud and sounded cool, I think it'd do your head in if you use the car day to day even in the quieter mode

[PieterZ]

Strange, did they start to make one?
I contacted Akra a while ago, they had no plans for the B9.

[Graeme4130]

I’m fairly sure it was akra, well 99% anyway
I was chatting to a guy at Combe last summer, and he took me over to Chippenham and back in it
I’m sure I probably have a pic somewhere so I’ll try and dig it out later

[PieterZ]

Probably another manufacturer with akra endpieces.
They stated they would not produce it, there were even no plans.

[PieterZ]

That was emailed to me at 27/6/19 by the Dutch importer.

Ah ok, maybe so
Either way, it was too loud for my taste
