My PB RS4 Build Thread
#17
Just got done doing the straight pipe mod. OMG, it sounds amazing. I will take some pics and try to do a small clip. I just deleted the rear mufflers. Everything else is stock. Gonna weigh the stock canisters too...
Well I am downloading a sound clip. It doesnt do it justice. Its much more aggressive in person, but I only have a basic camera. The weight removed was 21.8# per side so 43.6# total. Add a few pounds back in for straight pipe and tip. For arguement sake, its about 40# off the car. Its a bit loud and I'm gonna test it for a few days. If anything it will be my track set up. But I really hate swapping stuff for track days. It gets old after a while. Got the harnesses in today and will install tomorrow. They are the Audi version but are not RS4 specific. The RS4 does not have a mounting point for the outboard fron lap belt, but looks like there is a spot on the seat that will work. I'll update on that.
I'm happy overall with the exhaust. I will make some final adjustments to the tips, but it looks ok I think...

I also want to say thanks to Jeff@ Stassisengineering for taking care of me on the Ohlins Motor Sport coilover's. He spent alot of time going over everything with me. He even gave me a courtesy call to make sure I was satisfied with the information. The customer service is amazing and appreciated. I didnt feel like just a number... So many thanks Jeff.
And many thanks to AWDMOTORSPORTS for taking care of all my needs.

Thanks guys for all the thumbs up. I am loving this car... For once no pressure...
Well, I got the harness installed completely today. Perfect fit Also ordered the black optic grill from ECSTUNING. Really nice guys. And ordered the stern arms and sway bars from JHM. Nice guys there too. Seems like everyone in the Audi group are stand up people.
If anyone ever has any questions shoot them over. I am very open with information especially since this isnt my race car which I am trying to set records with. Its just fun and I like helping others out.
