First problem :2018 RS3 Canadian spec.
Nothing really bad, just weirdly annoying . The sports exhaust seems to turn itself off while driving. Here's a description, I will start up in dynamic with the proper barks and pops, drive off for say...15 min of random driving, pull up somewhere and idle, if I were to rev my motor it is in quiet comfort mode with no crackles or pops and the dash still indicates dynamic mode, I then toggle through the modes and end back at dynamic at which time the exhaust goes loud again and crackles.. wtf.
I'll bring it in soon but curious if anyone else noticed this.

sounds like 'auto' can cause this, I live in Dynamic myself with fixed suspension.

Right behind the exhaust tips, also have a look at the flapper valve bottom bearing , exhaust condensation pours out of this housing , obviously designed as such but I wonder how the long term effects of drainage for a bearing type surface will pan out .
