My RS5 light build and photography thread

[bknewtype]

Hello all! Long time audi owner here. Just picked up my new to me RS5 a few days ago! Coming from a Stage 4 c7 S7. Car was starting to become a headache so i made the switch ASAP. So far im pretty happy!

Heres the specs to my car. Has pretty much every single option.




And when i first laid eyes at the dealership






Took it for a test drive, and brought it home the same day

Looks great. How’s the power difference feel…I’ve actually been considering both cars. Congrats!

Its hard to compare because my s7 was stage 4 and close to 700hp capable, meanwhile my rs5 is stock lol

Stock for stock tho, i want to say the rs5 is a much funner drive, more planted, but more turbo lag. It takes some effort to get the car moving, but once it spools, its pretty fun

The b9 interior is also gorgeous and def feels better than a c7 interior.

Exhaust note on the rs5 is really bad but we all know that going from a v8 to a 6

Overall im happy with the change. No regrets

The ride quality is horrible compared to the air suspension on the s7. My head hits the roof

I love those wheels. Have to be one of my favorite Audi style wheels. I had these on my S4 previously with my summer tires and kept the peelers for my snows. Looking good!

Thanks! Honestly while i like the wheels, it looks so outdated lol. I had these in my old s5 ( b8) in 19’s and it was def a good look for its time. Now it just males my rs5 look ancient

Yeah I know what you mean. I wish they were thinner spokes like on some of the BMWs. That would give it a more updated look.

You definitely have a nice background for your photos! I don't think that those wheels make it look "too" old. They look pretty sharp.

Black badges from fleebay installed. They are slightly off in size so i couldnt use the template of the original , so i had to eyeball it on my own. Still looks decent me thinks. Also reindeer ears for fun

This is confusing... you de-badged the car, which is absolutely the right thing to do, but then you put badges back on, that you paid for? ;)

Congrats! I got it done at a local shop by my house. Its a simple res removal and install so many shops can do this. I paid i think $120 for the install. Cutting your oem exhaust is required

Great, can you shoot me the shop contact, 120 is good; they want 250 in LI.

Maybe we could meet so I can hear how your vehicle sounds in person.

Since ur in queens, give monkey wrench a ring. Iv done custom exhaust work here and he was cheap so i imagine a simple res delete would b even cheaper

Great looking car, and really nice photography - professional? This is the exact spec I've been hunting for.
