Any S3 owners with an MBRP exhaust?

[TheDude420]

If any of you with S3's have an MBRP exhaust what your thoughts? Is it too tame or too loud? Any drone/annoying sound? Do you have any videos or sound clips to share?

I currently have an AWE exhaust system that I bought from the Audizine classifieds here about 3 years ago. For the last year and a half or so the driver's side exhaust valve actuator has been stuck closed. I've been to several shops and none have been able to fix it. I've made a few posts about it on here in the past as well. AWE won't help at all. An Audizine member was kind enough to send me his used valve actuators but that did not fix it my issue. Driving with the exhaust note and pops+bangs only coming from the passenger's side is annoying. My exhaust also makes odd noises after I park and you can hear a squeaky noise when driving. I'm tired of dealing with this and want to try a new exhaust system. MBRP is much cheaper than AWE, Milltek, Borla, etc. I drive in dynamic/sport 90% of the time so MBRP not having valves is not an issue.

I was one of the original peeps who got in the ground floor on the first group buy on the MBRP exhausts.



Since then MBRP has made couple different versions and a valved exhaust...

The original version I have :

Its loud.



The valved version probably not as loud...

I had it on 19 A3 with a different rear valence. That was Stage 1 about same power level as an S3. It was pretty rowdy... at 2k-3k i could hear it in roof of the car for a moment then it would calm down lol.
I still have it sitting in my garage. I tried to sell it and no one wanted it. I would give it to you if you were closer to St Louis. Its in good shape just needs tips If anyone wants to come get it.
I have a new 8Y S3 lease im not touching anything on I prefer a valved system now Im kind of old but those are $$$

Did you change your diffuser and get a quad exhaust set up? A3 have 2 exhaust and S3 have 4. If it is the quad exhaust version how much are you asking for it? I live in FL though so it would have to be shipped.

maxton design makes the rear diffusor i used. it turns a3 to quad outlet. Yes not worth doing the shipping on such a large item. My mufflers spun a bit on the pipes so mine were tack welded in about 4 spots around the muffler to keep it still. Mine is in two pieces, resonator piece and from about there back is all one piece. It no longer fits in the box so someone would have to pick it up. If anyone is near ill give it away.

I had a 2015 S3 with an APR downpipe and MBRP non valved exhausted. It sounded horrible. Was like a trombone going down the street lol. Sold it the day after getting it
