The custom exhaust saga continues. Replaced the OEM center resonator with a Magnaflow 11385 resonated X-pipe. Updated OP with sound clips.

Small update: I couldn't stand the amount of low frequency drone at highway speeds with the Magnaflow setup. I wouldn't recommend for the 3.2L, but I hear its much more pleasing with the 3.0T. I put the OEM mufflers back in and the ride is quiet again. More agreeable for the wifey anyway ;) My mufflers/tips will be up for sale soon.

Hi Base14, any idea how to get the dynamic FL rear turn signals w the sweeping amber light. I’m dying for this mod!!

I have an 11 2.0 that I’m doing headlights on. Little tricky going from stock halogens to facelift headlights. Any thoughts there? Thanks in advance!

Bad news is a couple CELs came up and turned out to be P0491 and P0492 for Secondary Air Injection System Insufficient Flow Bank 1 and 2. Good news is that it’s 100% covered under warranty extension for the Emissions Control Systems (10 years or 120k mi). They said they cleaned the exhaust ports but the carbon buildup on the intake ports are not covered under this warranty extension .
I thought I’d put this info here in case others are wondering about these fault codes.

I have no idea, sorry. I thought in order to get the sweeping light, you need the euro taillight plus the kufatec adapter in order for it to work.

I bought my kit from dj and his homemade FL taillight adapters worked just fine.

Installed these Audi rings LED projection puddle lights from amazon. They were a tight fit but with some careful maneuvering they popped in. 5 mins each side. Not a bad cosmetic upgrade. Also added 5 hp, so nbd...

Digging these... I actually like them on Mel's Q5... wonder if there's an allroad version.

They always get a little reaction out of people when they first see it, very OEM+. Its identical to the allroad puddle lights, and across the entire B8 platform, I believe. I ordered a 4 pack for the Q, only used 2 and put the other 2 in the allroad when I got it. Fit perfectly. Bought this exact set.
