What did you do to your 8V today?

You mind chiming in on how you removed that piece behind the grill? Did you remove the bumper to get to that piece?

There are a couple of Youtube videos on it. No need to remove the bumper. Should just be a few bolts on the top of that piece and it comes right out.

Sure! There is no need to remove the bumper, and it only took about 10 minutes to get the trim out. There are three bolts that will allow the grille to slide forward a couple inches that need to be removed (right up top), and the trim piece is attached with 8 tabs which can be accessed from the front. When rotated it will side right out. I followed this DIY: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/thread...-8v-s3.266915/

Think I’ll be putting the stock resonator back in

**les3** · 08-23-2020 05:35 PM

Got a steering wrap put on today. Still some minor things to fix in terms of fitment, but so far it was worth the 6 month wait

Looks great. Just use the medium Tapatalk option so maybe it’ll be more clear

Got my new right front wheel bearing installed today! Only drawback was when my buddy/ mechanic backed me into his project fox body, but he’ll be doing a respray on Tuesday

But my car drives perfect now so....

Yea, he did my front bumper for 250. Makes the front end look soooo much better. Color match was spot on too

Had the resonator delete taken out, but now the car sounds too muffled so I guess I’ll be putting it back in, and the car will be too loud again.

Lol no when I put the downpipe in, i thought about taking the resonator delete out to quiet it down a bit. It was super raspy, so I took it out today and now it’s pretty subtle to me. The pops and bangs sound pretty lifeless.. so I guess I’ll put the resonator delete back in

Haha I get it
I liked the res delete until I did a downpipe. Even though have the IE with a cat I hated the drone. I miss the sound from the exterior but I hated the drone more.

Yeah, the drone sucks, but I also don’t enjoy the muffled sound with the resonator in. Took the resonator back out so now it’s pretty loud again. Exhaust shop recommended a vibrant resonator, so I’ll look into that.

S3NICK has a nice setup in the classifieds if you’re close enough to pick it up.

Only about 1800 miles out haha. It’s tolerable for now, but definitely not something I want to deal with forever. Been thinking about wrapping the car Miami Blue , so might as well be loud and obnoxious too
