Do they really sound this good?

This makes me want to sell the B6 and order the new B8. Pretty impressive

That sounds sweet. Makes me more excited to pick mine up. I heard from people that the S4 is disappointing exhaust wise but this suggest otherwise.

They are pretty muted in stock form, but the upshift fart is pretty good

Slap a non res milly on there and OMG!!

In the video it doesn't sound so muted. I would be happy with that sound. Time will tell

Definitely not stock unfortunately, but sounding good all the same. Still not heard one in the UK with a Milly yet - Res or Non-Res - but willing to be persuaded when I do!

Nickyboy how dare you comment on here without pictures.....RS246 takes offence :)

Come on dude details, pics, sound clips please.
I guess my other question would be Rs4 avant vs S4 Avant = why buy RS4 when with a good chip S4 will have as much power and it now sounds as good

RULE 1 (as Bam says)

:biggrin3:
I love drag racing and track racing. I have had many fast cars and below is a short list of the ones most memorable.

MR2 Turbo REV2 (standard) > MR2 Turbo REV1 300HP> MR2 Turbo REV3 450HP (Nick Name Biscuit tin) > Celica GT4 ST205 WRC 300HP > R32 GTR 425HP > Honda Integra DC2 (standard) > EVO GSR 300HP > R32 GTR 450HP

Now on the hunt for an RS6

I wonder if Audi have listened and actually made a change to the exhaust as my 2010 S4 doesnt sound like this?.....
