    S3 Sound Enhancing Resonator Installation Video

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    For all of you wondering how hard it is to install this awesome upgrade or whether or not they should pay the $140+ to have it installed by their dealer here is a video of my dad and I doing it in about an hour with very simple tools

    https://youtu.be/qLYUo4qmSmI

    I could get better sound clips of ther "after," but here's what I have for now. It sounds a lot better in person


    Let me know if you have any questions

    Nice video. Was that at home? You have a pit in your garage? Looks like a nice setup.

    Lol true, not everybody has a car pit or a lift. My dad was a mechanic most of his life, so he comes in handy for this sort of thing.

    Other than the to be able to get under he car, all you need is a saw, a wrench, a flathead screwdriver and a few zip ties.

    I want to stress that it sounds even better than that in real life because it only starts coming alive around 3000 rpm and keeps getting better after that. The rev limiter in neutral and park prevents us from hearing this thing's full potential at a stand still. It is a complete night and day difference without making the car obnoxiously loud.

    Is there any way to disable or increase the rev limiter?
