What would you change on your stock C8?

[howie1972]

Had mine a couple of months now and love it to bits. After having and driving lots, I would change: -

1. I would love it to be a little noisier and more bangs and crackles in dynamic mode
2. I would remove the rev limiter
3. I would like to be able to completely turn off the centre console, I can do the top MMI but not the bottom completely (unless anyone knows different)
4. I had mine remapped but wish it had been like this from stock


I think that is it.. first world problems I know but be interested if anyome else would change anything or if they are 100% happy! (for the record, I love this car and am very happy with it and most of the above is just personal preference).

I would have bought a Nardo one! Not a black one

1. Agree on the noise, less bothered about the pops and bangs but wasn't quite loud enough - Miltek has solved that
2. The standard carpets mats are not great. 5000 miles in and the drivers one is already wearing - So ill have to change them for some decent aftermarket ones
3. I would have liked more options when ordering, like Alcantara steering wheel
4. I find it really annoying that when you use Apple CarPlay and use Waze, then you loose the driver map display and just get a compass

Apart from that it is a great place to sit in and drive!

1- would have liked a bit more noise in dynamic
2- wish I could change contrast of screens without having to go though a sequence of buttons (if only could be placed in shortcuts)
3- missing air con buttons and knobs

Would love to have:
1- Auto Parking
2- Alcantara Headline
3- Night Vision
4- Massage seats

All of this should be included on the Vorprung trim, shame on you Audi UK

Has the sound changed at all in Sport / Dynamic after the remap?

Ah so - Miltek v akra - am going for one or the other but really cant decide. Hows your miltek?

Miltek is good. In auto, put your foot down, valves open and you have more noise but not ridiculous. In dynamic or sport then it is a fair bit louder than the Audi sports exhaust, but doesn’t boom too much. I I had a Miltek on my RS4 which was similar.

I didn’t want anything too loud, And it’s an improvement but not much louder than my C7 performance. But it is much deeper sound than the C7. On the motorway in auto it’s just as quite as the standard Audi a Sports exhaust

Debated the Akra, but it wasn’t available when I wanted to change, and to be honest, the Miltek was around £2.5k but the Akra was about £5/£6k so didn’t think it was worth it, especially as I tend to change cars every 18months/2 years max.

Only issue with the Miltek is typical Miltek design ie: big tips, but look behind and you see two pipes not connected to the tips, but there again I’m not too keen on the new Akra tips. Not as good as the C7 ones

In summary it sounds great when you want it loud (my wife knows when it’s in loud mode!), but it gives a subtle increase in sound and depth of sound in auto.

What’s it like after the remap? What numbers are you running now?

Agree with this, would also be good to have a rear entertainment option, 90% of owners are going to have kids.

so am running 740 bhp and 1000 nm - a marked improvement all round and definitely worth doing imo

Tempting but suicidal on a car with warranty if something goes wrong. If you happy to foot the bill then it’s very tempting....

Agreed, and seeing the issues C7 has/had I’d be pretty nervous running one without a warranty or a sizeable rescue fund.
