Audi S5 4.2 V8 - Driveby and Idle Rev

After an eventful day doing several runs on the Tail of the Dragon as well as pulling off and enjoying the cars cruising by, I realized that I've never actually heard my cat back straight piped V8 from afar... Well, hear the sound of my 4.2 people!

Sounds wicked! Excellent choice on the exhaust. When you did the carbon clean, did you walnut shell blast the valves or did you use a chemical through the intake? I just got a 4.2 S5 and couldn't be happier.

Thank you! The carbon clean was done with walnut shell blast that my amazing local Euro shop did, cost about $1k, but 100% worth it. I noticed a massive difference on the drive home, throttle response was immediate and my fuel milage want up slightly... Still a V8 with a drinking problem though haha.

Amazing car man, how much is maintenance for it? I was thinking of getting one.

[@demize7498]

Thank you... Maintenance hasn't been bad at all. Pretty much like any ole car as long as you take car of it, I personally do a oil change every 4k miles or so. Biggest issues I've had was the carbon cleaning at 130k miles and she's been wanting to overheat when going up long mountain roads, so it'll be getting a new thermostat and water pump at the end of the month. But overall, this car has been hands down the most reliable vehicle I've owned and is a blast to drive.
