5 Mods You MUST Do To Your Audi!! (Audi A7)

[@alexcarr5757]

CAI intake is meant to draw cold air, you’re pulling probably the hottest air possible with the location. Probably see better performance if you moved it down below the headlight. Nice throttle control though. With the tuning you’ve done you should probably upgrade the radiator & intercooler as well for better cooling.

[@AdhemarOrtega]

Yeah that’s going to be my next mod! I don’t want to go dual pulley until I upgrade the cooling system

[@YT32-16branch]

I was gonna say the same thing. No clue that guy.

[@robertdaone]

I think the IE intake has a heat shield to block off some of the hot air but I rather keep the stock airbox and install a less restrictive drop in filter.

[@tehgzizlauw1787]

I think I've heard before that with this engine IATs are influenced by the heat exchanger more so than the intake, so you can put an open element intake and it wouldn't really make a difference for the supercharger. Still technically better to have an intake with a heat shield/filter box obviously but this should be fine as well if you have an upgraded heat exchanger

[@bryanedwards7607]

The biggest issue you have with this is that your catalytic converters which are known to get clogged pretty easily or just below where you're intake is. That literally is the hottest part of the motor that you could have that above. If you loosen it and twist it where it rises up and put the original front piece back on then you'll actually have cold air blowing directly on it from outside. I highly recommend getting rid of your catalytic converters as quick as possible because that can be the death of your car if they're not fixed. That and the heat exchanger to keep those internal air temperatures down. But truly get the intake raised up and put the front part back on for sure!

[@Pjfreds]

1.your air intake is bad, because you getting hot air inside supercharger 2. bigger wheels worse time from 0 to 60. 3. if you are tunning this engine keep in mind , that you need to better install larger radiator when upgrade pulleys, after radiator go lower crackcaft pulley when compresor pulley.

[@grankpeq]

So you kinda started all over the place, but everyone starts modding differently. Here is the path I would take which also saves money. 1. Go stage 2+ off the bat. Saves a few hundred down the line and you're going to be at around 480ish hp. Stage 1 is only about 100 something hp depending on the tune. 2. Get a cold air intake to help it breath better with stage 2+ and some custom exhaust 3. Upgrade cooling! Protect the engine with the recent mods. Go with a Merc racing heat exchanger or something from APR, lower the AITs. 4. TCU tune, again this is performance related. 5. Wheels 6. Suspension which includes sway bars, transmission mountain, motor mounts, etc. Make it ridged. 7. All the extras like the throttle response thing you've got, etc. Again this all depends on what you like and how you mod. Some people want a show car over performance first. I prefer having a sleeper since I'm not going to shows. I love beating a car that looks all flashy while mine appears slightly modified from stock on the exterior. Good stuff! Keep a ported blower in mind, headers and and you'll be pushing a bit over 500hp in no time. Good looking car tho! Also your blend will be E40 if you go with ethanol since these engines can't do full e85. Wouldn't waste the money trying, at that point go to an S7.

[@elijahellis7100]

Yah, I felt like I was listening to a self entiled "z" er, who really just wants an S7

[@fearless.humility]

Curious to know your thoughts on the AWE Exhaust for 3.0T engine Audis....a bit surprised an exhaust upgrade was not mentioned. Apart from the whine improvement with air intake + pulley, my thinking is an Exhaust stainless upgrade makes this car sound ridiculously sexy and beastmode.

[@AVH8TOR]

Just an FYI your cold air intake is now a hot air intake. You need to put a heat shield in between your filter and your engine.

[@AdhemarOrtega]

I know I’m looking for one lol

[@MrSamoannn]

Thats awesome! I recently went Stock to stage 2 last month. APR stage 2 with a ECS intake and the supercharger pulley. Also upgraded my heat exchanger to Merc Heat exchanger to prevent any heat soak since I live in CA. Got new Tires and Glossy black wheels but might get summer tires which I should've done for more grip during summer. I was told Stage 2+ was also upgrading the Crank Pulley? I've heard upgrading that pulley to go dual pulley is like going stock to stage 2 all over again in terms of power. I have three Mufflers towards the back of my exhaust tips. So far I've deleted the center muff and replaced with an X Pipe. But man love the car u got bro! Dope!😎

[@AdhemarOrtega]

I need an upgraded heat exchanger too man! Yeah you need to upgrade the throttle body to get some gain out of the dual pulley set up

[@MrSamoannn]

@@AdhemarOrtega Yeah I highly suggest MERC heatexchanger! Good product for sure. And I don't race on track tbh. I like driving casually and then just gunning it a couple times during the day or even race someone if someone does want to. But man stage 2 is awesome!

I have my lights on auto and make sure your daytime running lights are on. Go to car systems in you MMI and exterior lighting and that should work

[@darrellmattocks8954]

Would u suggest getting a7 tuned or jus buying s7 from money perspective

[@AdhemarOrtega]

Just depends what your end goal is power wise. You’ll definitely get more horsepower from an s7 but it comes at a price

[@yuanshengli7834]

How about the muffler delete you went before, any drone?

[@AdhemarOrtega]

No drone at all!

[@nkc_nickynails1826]

just to let you know, do not remove your resonator or mufflers from an audi, you will lose power, so much better to go with downpipe and high flow cat and plus you add 27hp if you get the ecs tuning one. trust me and there's no ricy typa sound like there is from a muffler delete.

[@grankpeq]

@@nkc_nickynails1826 that's incorrect. Since the A6 and A7 are supercharged it doesn't rely on back pressure. Because the supercharger kicks in when needed. On a turbo car I could see this like the A4, S6, S7.

Same for me. I love beating flashy cars when mine looks more stock on the outside. That's why so many people spend so much then beat on Audi over the cost. 10k in exterior upgrades and a few performance ones. Then have to do timing, or mech rebuild and then they sell the car and complain lol.

i went with apr for my audi A7, and definitely injen air intake also. i dont know if is normal, after everything pretty much did those mods, i got 8-10 MPG on local. 2nd, when the car first start at morning, the transmation feels strange. 1st gear to 2nd then go to 3rd gear goes too fast. and sometime i can feel car is shaking during shift. thats no problem with S mold. do you had same issue or feels after that?

May need to do an adaptation if it allows you. These Trans can learn your driving habits. Else get a TCU tune.

I think this one looks pretty crap tbh man, the black alloys with the bluey silver looks shit. Nice mods though. I wouldnt bother with the throttle response unit though, just press the pedal before the other guy. Pretty stupid mod, its not a drag car its a sports coupe. Its all about wrapping it into bends not driving in a straight line fast, man has the back seats and all taken out to reduce weight? Your ruining that car bro.. 2030 no more petrols or diesels to be sold in my country anyway, and its basically hybrids and shit being made until then.

Especially that black doesn't go well with the silver color of the car. When the car is in idle the sound the car makes looks like the engine is broken or you just have some coins rattling inside the engine. To me it gives such a cheap impression. Let an A7 be an A7 . I look down upon people who modify their a7 to look like Rs7 or to make a BMW3 series look like M3. Grown mature men do not seek attention while overtaking others. Drive for yourself not for others. I would never modify my car to make it louder than the stock exhaust Because I want to be considerate about other people .
