No Exhaust?

[Auditude2.0T]

Thinking about putting an Electronic Valve on my exhaust so i can run straight turbo when i run the car at the track. The only thing is im not very familiar with turbo cars. I know that running straight motor on N/A you can throw a rod or bend a valve. Is that the same case with the A4's turbo engine?

You'll be fine. Run an electric cut out. That will yield the most gains.

X2 all my V8 buddies run them at the track (and sometimes on the street to scare the sh*t out of people) It so funny when they pull up to a car at a light and rev their motor, when the person revs back, they hit the button for the cut outs and rev it again. The look on that poor persons face is priceless.

I am getting mine installed next week finally.

I had the same cutout on my Audi TT, right after the catalytic converters. That sounded like a really loud tractor, so I can't imagine what my 2.0T with a test pipe will sound like

Basically, the only problem with N/A cars is if you leave the dump tube open, cold air can creep up there and warp exhaust valves (hear say). However, your turbo gets plenty hot and prevents this I guess. I don't know for sure, but I had zero problems with my 1.8T and even left the valve open plenty of times when shutting the car off.

But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, every cutout is supposed to be "maintenance free" but that is BS. They are not lubricated or sealed very well, so before you install yours you need to saturate the shit out of it with antiseize or some similar compound. My first one completely seized after one winter (daily driver) so I had to purchase another one.

Haha I saw a B6 S4 yesterday with his mufflers off and the pipes were just hanging down. It was loud as hell but sounded kinda shitty. He also had RS stickers right by the repeaters and his wheels were poking about half an inch past the fenders. Sorry if you're on here, but your shit looked whack.

[Geoffafa]

almost did that a while ago, when money was tight, but then i just went ahead and bought and exhaust... not sure what your gains will be

[Jersey Anthony]

i have one, it sounds real good, you will not see any gains but its loud as shit when opened

[Auditude2.0T]

Jersey Anthony any video clips??

Jersey Anthony any video clips??

I second this request. I don't have a camera to take video when I get mine put in on Wednesday.

Also Jersey, where did you mount the huge toggle switch? I'm thinking of putting mine in the glove box since it's so bulky

[SEXICÄN]

What is this going to normally run someone?($$$)

[Phrost]

Well, it's $205 plus shipping for all materials needed, I got mine welded in for about $25, then I ran the wiring myself and mounted the switch for free.

Here is QTP's website if you want to buy that brand, but others make electric cutouts also. http://shop.quicktimeperformance.com...oduct_list&c=4

Basically, it's just a y-pipe you get welded in


then an aluminum housing with a steel butterfly valve, and a high-torque motor with the required wiring and toggle switch.

[SEXICÄN]

Phrost, what exhaust are you running?

[Phrost]

My bad, those pictures were from my Audi TT 225. Just stock exhaust with the QTP dump tube.

My A4 will just have the ECode test pipe, QTP dump tube, and stock from then on.

[SEXICÄN]

Where do you place it on the exhaust?

[Phrost]

For the A4, I'm not sure because I didn't get it up on a lift yet and hold the QTP unit up there. Jersey has one installed, and he needs to post info on his!

I scraped the shit out of mine when it was on my TT, but the car was also slammed on coils... I'm hoping there will be a good spot for this because I don't want to not be able to go over speed bumps again.

[SEXICÄN]

hmmm..... I must have this mod done now!

i might be in li this week if u wanna meet up u can hear it because i will be passing masapequa,

[John1.8T]

If you like a ricey sound... go for it.

Its still a 4-cylinder... our engines sound great but wasting money on a mod to make it "louder"?! ugh...

Get a real, tuned exhaust with a test pipe - that will sound as good as it gets without going overboard.

[supamannn99]

it wont just make it louder.. it'll be like having almost no exhaust pipes. the real performance gain ;D

[SEXICÄN]

until i see the vid, i'm not going to make judgement about how "ricey" the exhaust will sound or how good it will....

I'm keeping an open mind!

[Echo3One]

Would my 3.2 with an Awe exhaust benefit from this. I would like it a tad bit louder at times.

[Auditude2.0T]

That would be awesome. thanks Anthony. i'll pm you my number, maybe you can give me a call when your around, hopefully i'll be around as well. Thanks man.

You are getting the wrong idea, my friend. You have never heard a car with a dump tube, so let me make it clear for you.

1. It does not sound like it would if you just cut off your exhaust. The exhaust after the dump tube absorbs some of the sound and that, and with the tube open it just sounds like a really loud normal exhaust... hard to explain.

2. It does not sound ricey. In no way does it sound like a fart can (like a metallic vibration or high pitched). It sounds more like an aftermarket exhaust on the 2.0T x10 haha.

3. "Wasting money to make it louder". We have a turbo application, so we want the least amount of back pressure possible so the turbo can spool up as fast as it can. True, our oem turbo is small and turbo lag is minimal, but think about it. It does help a little, and in higher gears it helps a lot.

You'll see what I mean if we get a video up.

Way to be, thinking for yourself and all Trust me, it does not sound ricey. It's just really loud, but weird. At idle, it's just extremely deep and sound like a damn tractor or something (not in a bad way) but at WOT, then it gets extremely loud and is like catback + test pipe x10. Not ear piercing loud where you'll hate it, because I drove around with mine open all the time because it was friggin fun and hilarious in an Audi TT. But everyone hears it

[Auditude2.0T]

No because it is naturally aspirated.

[Phrost]

N/A cars can (look at all the examples of who buys the QTP cutout on their website) but you need to swap cams and all that to be setup for it to get anything out of the cutout. I don't think anyone here would be into that kind of work (let alone if there are even any options out there), but I think this system on the 3.2 would be mainly just for sound, and kind of a waste of money unless you reallllly wanted to make babies cry when they drive next to you on the highway

[SEXICÄN]

my co-worker just gave me Summit racing equipment mag and they have those parts for a total of $200! wooot!!!

[Jersey Anthony]

pete i will post a vid tommrow, and maybe meet up with you some time this week like thursday,

[Auditude2.0T]

thanks bud. see you soon.
