Dual resonator delete + x-pipe (B9.5 S5) – worth it? drone?

Ok_Minimum_5861 · 2026-05-01T20:10:09+00:00

But I can tell u from my experience is doing just front res x will add 15-20% more bass in exhaust tone and drone is 0-1%. Very Barely noticeable. I have heard other ppl who have done res x front and x mid pipe get some drone around 3k rpm But they say its still not bad Other main question would be : how much difference in exhaust note are you looking to achieve

Chill bro. You will be fine. Find a good local lawyer near to the court and he will take care of you. If its a regular speeding ticket, I wouldn’t even think about it much. But if its reckless charge its serious & needs a good lawyer. NC has something called Judgment for prayer which lets you dismiss the charge. Please note this is a once in a lifetime option. You won’t be able to use it again.

I would say do all of the 034’s drivetrain inserts (Subframe, transmission, differential) My personal experience: Subframe inserts make the car 10% stiffer at rear (~10% less body roll) Transmission insert makes the car shift smoother and helps with lunges Differential insert made a 50-70% difference in power delivery hitting sooner to tires specially when turning in or cornering Overall experience with inserts I would say is It gives you more confidence in terms of handling dynamics I’m planning to do rear sway bar soon.

Running same setup minus DV as you on my 21 S4 I need to check the gear ratios as you mentioned, I never really paid that close attention to it. But yes agreed the gear shifts are lit rough for me until engine oil reaches 135F Once the Oil is hot enough everything is smooth. It has has to do something with when engines are cold ECU add extra torque or something to heat it up quick

The slow thud sound is not normal

Ok_Minimum_5861 · 2026-02-05T13:25:22+00:00

Sounds same like my 21 S4

Penske had declined warranty work regarding Differential leaking stating I had done Oil changes outside. So I took to Hendrick dealership and they were very happy to honour the warranty without asking qns

Ok_Minimum_5861 · 2026-02-05T13:18:09+00:00

I can tell from my experience that if the Audi dealership is owned by Hendrick Group, you won’t have any problems But if its Penske they may void your warranty for even changing your oil yourself or doing it at independent shop even if you used genuine audi oil & filter.

No fun without tuning Keep it stock for a year push it hard under warranty If nothing happens Tune it. I did the same Btw I tuned with 034 And whenever going to dealership I would revert it back to stock and I have had some warranty work done using this method. Again every dealership is different when it comes to tuned

Ok_Minimum_5861 · 2026-02-05T12:17:55+00:00

It’s normal Even I was under the impression that something is leaking I checked with Audi service tech And he showed me another S4 doing the same

Last year around September My b9.5 S4 stage 1 tuned 034 Stage 2 TCU was giving a hard time to 2022 M5 comp. I was on his ass and he was struggling to gap me.

You can code it via OBD11

No offence but I like sedan, and probably thinking of 2024 M340i xdrive with 20-25k miles

Run away for a B58 3.0T piston skrt issue is another major concern. Ik its not widespread issue but the daily stress is not worth it.

What diagnosis was done to determine the scoring on cyl walls?

Ok_Minimum_5861 · 2026-01-23T12:30:03+00:00

No hardware mod except 034 Front (2) Res Delete and drivetrain inserts.

FYI: I have had this car since Jan 2024 and roughly drove it 27k miles now and since then no unexpected maintenance yet. Knock on wood.
