RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

Pretty quiet on this forum (regardless of C-19) so that leads me to think there aren’t too many of us out there? How many B9 RS5’s are there on the road? I haven’t seen another one in my limited travels so far but that’s not really saying anything at the present I guess.
The few times I do get to drive it just makes reinforces that I really did buy the right car. Really special place to be and then some. Finally got round to fitting the smaller plates which really suit the car welI I think

One consistent area is the real lack of noise-having had a look there seem to be only a few options:
Milltek
Remus
Capristo
PCW Mod
Milltek non res with the control module seems to come in around £3k. Remus around the same although not sure if they have valve control.
No prices for Capristo that I could find
All sound decent enough (never going to be a V8 sound but makes up for it everywhere else) just wondering what recommendations owners have?
Also noticed that US market with the Dynamic Pack got the alcantara steering wheel and branded floor mats-not for UK though which is poor. Do Audi UK do OEM mats or is it an aftermarket job? Looked at Royal Steering Wheels for the alcantara job and they’ve come recommended.
As the car is in warranty am not looking at a tune (may not even bother) but so far there are only a few options out there unless you want to pay a warranty friendly ABT price of ££&&&
Anyone gone down that route and if so what do you recommend?
Cheers and hope cabin fever isn’t settling in too much.

Not sure if you've made a decision already or not but I have a non-resonated Milltek system and like it a lot. Really comes alive when valves open up but very docile under normal driving.

That's the one I've decided to go with after hearing someone's identical car. Going for the non res race version with black tips and getting it at a fair price as well luckily. Also getting the steering wheel refurbished in full gray Alcantara by Royal Steering Wheels and saving a load of money as an OEM replacement was coming in at around £700.00.
Hopefully should be on the car in a week or so and will have to post some vids up of a comparison.

You'll be very happy with it. I started with the Road+ and as it was nice and provided a slight volume change and deeper tone, but not enough to warrant the cost nor the purpose of changing out the system.

Have you noticed any difference in throttle response and delivery? Just found out there are some marginal power gains (10-20 bhp) so have you seen a difference at all?

Hi , Got your Exhaust and steering Wheel yet ?

Still
Waiting for exhaust due to delay in production (frustrating to say the least) but at least I got the wheel sorted yesterday by Royal Steering Wheels. Very impressed with their work and excellent value for money!

Awesome! Well worth the money. Car sounds as it should do stock now. Shame you have to pay extra but it transforms the car.

Thanks Stevo55

Isn't it too loud inside the car for long ride ?

Not at all-in comfort with valves closed it’s only slightly louder than the sports exhaust.
Obviously in dynamic/sports/individual then it’s pretty loud with lots of ‘cracks!’ on the up shifts.

Thanks.
Is there any dron in lower rpm with open flaps?

Did you remove the Wheel yourself? Any tips or guidance as I've got some Racing line paddles to fit.
