Default Plugged my exhaust vacuum hoses today

I have to say it made a nice difference in the sound - even compared to having the Sport mode on. Took the RS4 out for a long drive this afternoon and didn't end up with great mileage as I was dipping into the throttle quite a bit.

I may even de-flap this week...

I'd like to do this. Is there a how-to laying around somewhere?

Unplug the vacuum hose from the muffler valves and plug them up somehow

Default Here's how..it's a simple detach and plug up.

Check out this thread on another forum. I've done mine. I've posted my photos and others have too.

Default Is this your photo here?

<center><img src="http://www.rs6.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=5536&amp;stc=1&amp;d=1 189944198"></center><p>Looks easy enough, but what tool is used to separate the hose from the green thing? I tugged at it with my hand in a half-hearted attempt to pull them apart and they weren't budging!

Also: Is there any benefit from yanking it apart at the green line (pictured) instead of at the actuator like others have done?

Default Remove the black rubber hose @ the solenoids, plug them, then cap the solenoid port.

You need to plug the black hose or you'll have a vacuum leak.

You should cap the soleniod port to keep dirt out.
