Well gents, my car is "loud" again. Like a switch was thrown, I have engine noise again. Who knows....
Gotta love technology. |

Here is my opinion. When I want to go stealth and when my kids are in the car I leave it in D. When I want to unleash the beast I put it in S.
In D mode, its tame and elegant but still has the exhaust note of that says I am an S6. In S mode, it roars from the get go and lets everyone know big dawg is coming through. The exhaust note makes you look around and giggle like a kid cause it sounds that good. |

I ran Stasis exhaust for years on my S4. Loved the sound! They will have (don't quote me) an exhaust for our cars by year end. I'm waiting ( 20hp gain +-).
Awe was able to gain 18hp at the peak, and 27hp at the max "gain". Sounds pretty awesome too! I just hope it's not too loud when I don't want it to be :-) http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/dyno...0T_exhaust.jpg |
I took my car in this morning for the 19J1 "recall update" and they had performed 2 recalls when I got my car back:
Campaign 19J1 - SVM Update. Replace Thermostat Housing, Radiator protector, Vacuum line/hose/clips, Tie Wraps, Cool add. Campaign 48K8 - Power Steering Module SVM Update Initial thoughts from driving home: 1)Comfort (C) and dynamic (D) mode downshifts are no longer jerky...perfectly smooth. However Dynamic-Sport (D>S) is MUCH more jerky than previously during the downshift. D>S is the mode I like to drive in so I hope this resolves itself as the computer adapts. 2) Car is most definitely more quiet 3) I feel like the steering is much softer...almost disconnected |
I had 48K8 done 2 days ago. Don't feel any difference.

I couldn't believe all that wonderful "noise" was and is artificially created. It's amazing. It will come back, don't worry :-) I'm getting the AWE exhaust for just a little bit more muscle out the back. |
I have the AWE exhaust on the way too. I think it will be nice! Silver or Diamond black tips? I went with Diamond black
I hope the noise cancellation doesn't make it inaudible in the car! I am not spending that money just so the spectators outside the car can enjoy it! Dennis

I broke down and ordered the AWE Sport Touring exhaust last week. I should have it sometime this week or next :-)

Dennis As for the tips, I went with the polished silver. My car is Estoril blue and I don't have much black on the car at all. I feel the silver will work better with my longterm goal (CF front lip, spoiler and diffuser). I plan on keeping the OEM chrome bits too so the polish should match up better to my taste... |

It seems that the active noise cancelation is primarily concerned with the drone in 4-cylinder mode. I wouldn't mind ANC to remain effective with the aftermarket exhaust because when in 4-cyl mode you're putting around anyway, and I wouldn't want my car to sound like a Subaru lol.

Well, regarding the transmission, pulling the shifter down when in D to engage Sport mode is the same as selecting Dynamic mode in the MMI as far as the trans goes. It states this much in the manual IIRC.
