At a performance shop, it is always an exciting moment when a build starts off like this: just a stack of parts that have to be rolled out to the technician.



And that's exactly the way this S3 project started. This Audi was going to get louder, lower, and loads more style and stopping power to brag of by the time it left our hands.



Parts Installed:
Audi 8V/MK3 MQB Chassis Integrated Engineering Adjustable Camber Plates
Renn Motorsport RS-51 Wheel in Satin Graphite
Audi 8V S3 H&R Sport Springs
Audi S3 (8V) NEUSPEED Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust
Audi S3 (8V) Stoptech Front Big Brake Kit


The Build


Neuspeed Exhaust

Neuspeed markets this system as pure, deep sound and we have to agree. There's nothing like taking this S3 down the streets of our business park and hearing the sheer grunt of the Audi announcing your presence to your fellow road inhabitants.

Our Houdini technicians turned that pile of boxes into this beauty!



But in all seriousness, this S3 is understated but powerful enough to make a new fan out of the tech working on this project. Although the exhaust is ready to announce itself at any given second, visually, the S3 doesn't shout its presence and the truth is, it doesn't need to. Its performance speaks for itself and most of all, it's enjoyable. Whether it's just to look at, to cruise in, or getting on the throttle to have some fun, the Audi is more than happy to deliver. Ultimately, that's the perfect result to any build we take part in.
