2016 Audi S7 review

[@kingfisher111]

MAN....the Color combo is just DOPE....awesome stuff...thnx

[@djpeak10]

Man, thanks for that!

[@vikramrulesrox]

Sick car man holy, really nailed it with the wheels

[@Andrej-wj6sw]

Do you maybe know which are these? And what size

[@gibshall2007]

Dude I've watched this video three times already. You have a perfect set up! You've got me considering this blue now!! Awesome car man.

[@djpeak10]

Thank you! What color were you locked on to before? You know what else I like about Sepang blue? It's not available as a standard color on an A7!!! I'm telling you I always do white or black car colors but the amount of compliments I have gotten on this color is crazy. I'm so glad I got it.

[@gibshall2007]

I always go for black. Good point on the A7 not being offered in this color. That blue looks insane on camera i can only imagine what it looks like in person. Keep making videos, get some rolling shots if possible! I wanna see this thing in action!! Yours will have to do until i get mine!

[@Carwash1989]

@@gibshall2007 so now you got yours? will get one in mid 2021

[@darcieella196]

just the best looking S7 I have ever seen. Wheels brilliant choice. looking forward to next video.

[@djpeak10]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@mrcjstudio]

Great review, one of the more honest regular guy ones. I can see you love your cars and seriously consider what mods you want that will work for you, but, more importantly, won't hurt the value of the car for the future. looking forward to seeing the ECU flash. These tuners definitely know what they're doing and their name speaks for itself. Surprised to hear that the Bang & Olufsen system isn't all that good in the S7.

[@djpeak10]

Thanks man! Yeah I'm on vacation right now but will be back soon, and when I get back Imma pull the trigger on the flash. And the B&O is better then the Bose for sure but $5k better? In my opinion no way. I actually was planning the whole way to get the B&O but after hearing them back to back I just couldn't see the value beside the really cool tweeters popping out of the dash, hahaha.

[@mrcjstudio]

Lol, I hear you. Enjoy the vaca. Im thinking as it relates to the B&O maybe it has to due with better sound transfer and spatial awareness in the volvo vs your S6 maybe why there is such a difference...

[@MuykeOfficial]

Dream car. Amazing look man, good luck with it. :)

[@edb3652]

Your videos are get. I didn't know of Roc-Euro until I saw your video. I order it the same day. I have a 16 S7 almost identical to yours however I did opt for the B&O and Milltek exhaust with roc-euro intake. I had my shop do all the installation as well as the tune. I also did the 17mm lowering and seat belt chime delete and euro tale light bake light pulse and a few other computer changes. Keep the videos coming. Thanks!

[@djpeak10]

I just couldn't see the value for $5k on the B&O cause it didn't seem that much better than the Bose for some reason when I tested them out side by side. Maybe I should have gotten it but too late now hahaha. So how long ago did you order the Roc Euro intake? Cause some people have been waiting 10 weeks, its crazy!!

[@MrJonyyMD]

Nice car, nice house, cool plate . Living the dream in Cali

[@djpeak10]

Hahaha, thanks man! Born and raised in San Diego, so thats all I know.

[@drovid008]

RS7gram here, I totally love your ride!

[@djpeak10]

Hey man thanks! I have some stuff in the works. I should have some updates up soon!!

[@drovid008]

Jesse Papike really looking forward to some updates. You have instagram where I can check more stuff out?

[@ericlitman7255]

Beautiful car, we have a 2016 S6 also in Sepang Blue. Haven't done any mods yet, thank you for the interesting ideas.

[@szabolcsantal1183]

Hey Jesse, Thanks for the vid, much appreciated. Can you post a long-time update review in case you still own it after 4 years?

[@pearljohnson4365]

Love the Blue with Dark rim and windows contrasts.

[@edb3652]

I called Roc-Euro right after watching your video on a Friday and it was shipped out Monday for a Wednesday delivery. I opted for the plain stainless steel look. Powder coated parts were a two week wait. They showed up on Wednesday as promised. My car Dynoed at 406hp to the wheels at Smokey's Dyno in North Canton Ohio. Once the car is fully tuned come Friday I will up date you with the results. They do a before and after dyno.

[@djpeak10]

Oh great please keep me updated 100%. I wonder if the Roc Euro makes any power? I have been curious but didn't want to dyno it twice myself to really find out. It sure sounds awesome though! What tune are you doing? I think imma go EPL actually, flash on your own type of deal.

[@edb3652]

Smokey's dyno has a custom tune for S7/RS7 and they also do the ECT as well. They make bigger power gains than ARP and VR and they do it on the dyno. They have real world numbers not predictions based on crank HP. I'm hoping for north of 550 whp but who knows. I will have the numbers Friday.

[@djpeak10]

Dude keep me posted, can't wait to see that beast!

[@young9534]

I did not like the rear end of this car for the longest time. But after seeing some nice S7's and RS7's, I changed my mind.

[@DavidSmith-jd8bh]

Me too

[@MacOSTrash]

6:30 I'm pretty sure in all Audis if you go into reverse, the sensors and camera activates automatically. If not, there should be a setting for that in the menus. (2011 Audi Q5 3.2 Premium Plus)

[@TechMeNowTV]

That car is hot! Nice color choice man!

[@djpeak10]

Thank you! Favorite color of any vehicle I have ever had.

[@TechMeNowTV]

Jesse Papike Definitely

[@drummerzarate]

What color is Jesse?

[@Jamminn555]

Outstanding video and info, Jesse. And an OUTSTANDING car you've put together. Love all the mods you did.! I'll buy it when you're done! (I'm serious about that. I'm in SoCal as well. Hit me up anytime.) Thanks so much for posting.

[@BDizza86]

Nice review, you've solidified my dream to size up to a s7 from current s4. Tired of my toddler kicking my seat 😴

[@Carwash1989]

haha same here as A4 owner, will upgrade to s7 soon to gather tons of extra space and more HP :P

[@julienjjj]

Great color ! I got a 2016 S4 in misano red with the sport diff but it was a tough choice between this blue and the red :) Good choise of taking the S7 over the RS7, The dual clutch make it's a much better drivers car than the regular automatic in the RS7

[@RavenValkyrie]

You have an amazing taste in cars

[@irv.gi.7882]

I would not drive this car I'd look at it the whole day damn nice color,nice wheels it's just awesome man!

[@djpeak10]

Hahahaha, thanks man!

[@reubenjacob9877]

+Jesse Papike how much horsepower this beast got???

[@djpeak10]

So I haven't dyno'd my car yet but did some logging through VAG-COM and had some second gear pulls come in at 469 Wheel horsepower. So if you factor in the roughly 18% driveline loss its about 553 crank horsepower! Not bad.

[@matthewjocoy4109]

Watching in 2021, gave you a like when I saw the kids seats. lol. Nice!

[@misa9036]

I have 2016 s7 also. White on black rims. Inside is the same as yours. Amazing cars

[@djpeak10]

awesome cars huh? my 5k service is next week, after that thinking I'm driving straight to my APR dealer!!!!

[@Murat-2020]

Great review Jesse. And the car looks wonderful, real nice set up!!

[@djpeak10]

Thanks man! Still pumped on it after over a year which is quite the compliment to the car as I am notorious for switching cars ridiculously soon.

[@Murat-2020]

What are you planning on getting next? Just curious :D

[@djpeak10]

Murat Not sure yet, trying not to think about it too hard yet, hahaha. Top of the list though would be the new Panamera and the next S or RS 7 when the redesign happens in about a year.

[@stormtroopervette2894]

Damn gotta say that color with black rims looks sick man 👌😍

[@jonathanpolanco5705]

2018 comment!!! You have the best review hands down

[@ChrisMajestic]

Awesome video

[@kbball40]

blue looks freking amazing

[@Emet30]

Great review! Subscribed! Keep the videos coming. I'm looking into picking one up (CPO) in the near future.

[@djpeak10]

Emet30 let me know what you get. its a special car for sure.

[@Emet30]

Jesse Papike I finally picked up a 2014 S7, Phantom Black with Black Optic. Drivers and Cold Weather package. I absolutely love it! I'm on AZ forums. I'll have to post up on the C7 forums there.

[@Undeworld667]

That is gorgeous looking! My dream car

[@tricasterstrat]

Can the centre screen be disabled from popping up? Perhaps there's a way to control the music via steering controls, etc

[@hamzasbai3831]

this blue looks awesome !

[@ozymandias5036]

Yup my S7 has he same wheels brother. It feels so amazing on them and feels faster than my 997 turbo

[@ozymandias5036]

Yup my S7 has he same wheels brother. It feels so amazing on them and feels faster than my 997 turbo

[@jasonc1182]

Still one of the most stunning cars on the road 👌

[@Bionimetic]

They def aged well

[@spearPYN]

This is the best car on the market in this price range! Although I prefer black color.

[@TeoZMuff313]

Fucking gorgeous car. Love those wheels ! Great video and review. Thanks a million 👍🏻

[@djpeak10]

Thank you!

[@bcushon]

Can we get a update on it if you still have it?

[@edb3652]

Hey a quick note, Brandon the owner of Smokey's Dyno makes regular trips to CA to tune cars. Before you get your tune done you should call him, you might like my numbers better than some other company.

[@123456710ish]

What's up Jessse, I'd like for you to tell me the steps necessary to launch my audi S7 and if you can please provide with information on simple modifications that you think I can do to my car; Such as the stereo system and the exhaust system, I would really appreciate your help.

[@djpeak10]

123456710ish So make sure your car is in dynamic mode, traction control off and steering wheel straight. step on brake to the floor and then mash the gas while still holding the brake. Rpm will go to 5k then let go off the brake and have fun!!!! As for mods the best bang for your buck is ECU and TCU tune. If your car is a 2016 or newer I would recommend to delete the resonator to wake up the exhaust. Also adding a sub and amp makes a huge improvement to the stock Bose system. Hope this helps!

[@husamtawfeeq5928]

Jesse Papike why does the car have to be 2016 to get a resonator del. (mine is 2015 btw)

[@123456710ish]

Appreciate all the help Jesse, I'll let you know how it goes.

[@dwtrksvc]

Love the video. I know it's old, are there any updates you can provide? I am looking into getting a used S7. Any tips from your experience would be awesome. 👍

[@TheDjkasio]

Beautiful S7.I will get one soon

[@DBLCreations]

Man,this car is just beautiful. I just don't know what to say, i will choose this all time above a BMW or Porsche. I know people might find that crazy, but i just like everything about the S7 :-)

[@djpeak10]

Thank you! It has been a blast to own thus far!!!

[@coltonsawatzky6584]

Looks fantastic Jesse!

[@djpeak10]

thanks buddy, appreciate it!

[@TranquilBoss]

Dope car, dope modifications

[@phylliszondi5628]

DUUUUUUUDE love that black detail on the exterior...you shouldve added the Virtual cockpit option which s a full digital dash instead of the analogue dials but still a sweet ride

[@djpeak10]

Thanks! virtual cockpit is only available on A4, Q7,TT, and R8 right now. it will be available on S7 as a 2018 model when they do the major redesign.

[@xBeanx]

Just found this listed on AutoTrader, what are you moving on to?

[@djpeak10]

Yeah I just sold it! Got a new car, video coming soon!!!

[@justinwalker4975]

Jesse Papike damn bro why?!? I’m about to get a 2016/2017 Very soon

[@MyDeere3320]

Nice ride Jesse. Maybe OBDeleven might have the solution to the Parking issue.

[@erich1308]

You have a gorgeous car Jessie! Enjoy

[@djpeak10]

Thanks Ed!!!

[@arnelr21]

Great video Jesse.

[@piotr2951]

Great review and an awesome car, love the color.

[@jaypers232]

Lmao the double recaro kids seats in the back. A man who just barely compromises

[@aaronxjin]

Very thorough and useful stuff, only improvement needed would be in the camera stability department. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, pretty much sold the s7 to me over the 650i GC I'm looking at. Cheers!

[@djpeak10]

Yeah this was the first real video I shot and your right its not that great (production wise) but I think I am getting better! I wanted the gran coupe as well for the longest time but really glad I went with the Audi. I also see gran coupes all the time where I live and don't really see my car too much (which I like). Your gonna love the S7!

[@aaronxjin]

Car reviews from actual owners are so insightful, definitely need more of these types of videos around. Cheers! Btw your S7 looks seriously nice, great choice on the rims and well done on lowering the ride!

[@thunderch1ck3en]

I have a 2018 S6 (in Sepang Blue too), and I agree that the S7 is more attention grabbing. That's actually what I like better about the S6 is that it blends in more. They're both great cars though.

[@MrLeonidas123]

great review Jesse! Just wondering i noticed you ave google earth maps on your driver screen...was that an upgrade you did or did it come with the car

[@garykey8733]

Do you have any info or links regarding the resonator delete? Thanks

[@dsauce2864]

Anybody know how to adjust the air suspension using obdeleven?

[@silentyouber2816]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGLWqH6PlJaIgck

[@A_guan]

Hey can you code the rear taillights so then you activate the turn signal it'll have amber indicators? Or is it not possible in the US version of the taillights.

[@djpeak10]

I dont think the U.S. taillights can be coded like that. I have seen people get the Euro taillights so they can have the sweeping turn indicators and such. I'll check though.

[@A_guan]

+Jesse Papike I looked around and the answer is no. The euro lights are illegal because of the cool sweeping turn signals sadly (and stupid) but I wonder if I could still get the sweeping signals and not get caught by cops or DOT

[@djpeak10]

I know a couple of guys with S6's that have the euro taillights in the states. Its pretty expensive but looks amazing! I don't think any cops will ever know that they are illegal, I mean Mustangs have sweeping taillight blinkers. But I do know you cannot code the US taillights to have sweeping turn signals as I have already looked into it.

[@A_guan]

+Jesse Papike I was looking into it as well and some guy mentioned how the lights aren't big enough (Sq cm) to meet US regulations which I call BS on since they look bright enough. When I order them guess I'll have to remember to order the RoW version

[@kuhnn1291]

How has it held up? how much has cost of ownership been?

[@corpnupe85]

Nice looking vehicle! Thanks for the review.

[@willreed3954]

Great video! I just picked up a CPO S6 and was looking to do the resonator delete as well but could use some more information on how you went about doing that. 3k for an exhaust is just not worth it. I am doing the vag lower and adding the intake in a couple of weeks. Awesome car!!

[@djpeak10]

So just call around to local exhaust shops and ask them how much to remove your resonator and put straight pipes in. I had to put an H pipe in place of my resenator because of where the valves are located in the 2016's but if yours is 2013-2015 you should be fine with straight pipes. Mine costed $250 bucks and I have seen guys on the forums paying anywhere from $200-$300. If you need me to send you a pic of the install under the car, I can do that just let me know.

[@willreed3954]

Jesse Papike Awesome thank you for the advice!

[@duanejohnson2026]

Dows it have heates and coiled seats?

[@pepemedel4420]

did you delete the 2 boxes mufler from the back or only the midle one ?

[@darcieella196]

Really interesting video car looks amazing did you have silver mirrors originally I like that look.

[@djpeak10]

nope, the black optic package adds color matched mirrors. I kind of like the S model silver mirrors as well but think colored match probably look better.

[@djpeak10]

Ok so I just added the VR Tuned piggyback! Its actually pulling pretty hard! Im going to do a separate video for it this weekend. I got a couple extra recording tools so maybe I can make the video a little nicer.

[@antonioprado8068]

So how many years did you end up keeping it and towards tge end of you having it did it give you any expensive issues that had you not had warranty it would of cost an arm and leg

[@conniepierce328]

Nice video. How does the AC work in real hot conditions? Thanks for sharing.

[@BigBagOfFrikenAirFak]

Is it just reso delete?

[@bnutti2537]

Are the headlights ecodes? Only reason I ask is I didn't see ambers

[@djpeak10]

BNUTTI No, they are stock. Maybe you are thinking of S6 lights that have amber in the light? S7 has the orange in the bumper which I disabled and had painted. I think that's what your asking?

[@ResRules]

Nice looking car man. FYI most of them mods are illegal in the UK. Blacked out front windows! Illegal!

[@TwixProHD]

what are the rims on this beast?

[@djpeak10]

Sorry for the very late response. They are TSW Bathurst Rotary forged 21x10.5 all around.

[@TwixProHD]

Jesse Papike am buying an S7 soon what mods do you prefer for crackles ? I like the crackles on the downshift but looking to do it more louder

[@bigcity3523]

Really bad ass set up and color!. Good job.. hey Man U mentioned that u met a guy with the vagcom program... i have a white s7 and I wanna do some changes also.. is there anyways u can give me his info, I would like to get ahold of him.. thanks and good videos👍🏼

[@toddhalstead5038]

I know your video is over a year old, but great work! Love the S7, I currently own a ‘16 SQ5 and the S7 will be my next vehicle. Great mods too, wheels look great and I watched the VR video too. Quick question, is there interior accent lighting in the S7?. Great work!

[@djpeak10]

Todd Halstead Thanks for the kind words! S7 has been a great Car! It does have interior accent lighting however it's just white. It doesn't have all the different colors like our new Q7 has.

[@toddhalstead5038]

Jesse Papike I had a 2018 Q7 for a loaner last week, and it was pretty nice switching the colors! I also thought your exhaust mod was incredible, I would like to do some mods to my SQ5 but I’m afraid my dealer is not very mod friendly. Thanks for the reply.

[@jesusherrera6911]

Great video Jesse! I am very interested in purchasing a audi s7 just like yours 2017 to be exact, but I am very concerned with reliability plenty of videos talk about how expensive it is to own because of how unreliable it is. Can you please clear this up for me because I really want to make the rite move and purchase the rite vehicle.

[@samirsuleiman2949]

Hi, just watching this. I like the review and I want to get one of this. Do you think it’s going to be a good car to buy in 2021 & how much do you think is appropriate to pay for it.

[@jamalk8168]

How are you man. Strongly considering between a 16 S7 and 14 RS7.. I know it’s weird, but I just wanted to know. How has it been after all these years? And annoying maintenance to deal with? Any hardships or buyers remorse thus far? Hope to hear from you man thanks. Awesome video.

[@alexfong4363]

Do you have some photos about the audi s7?

[@wordpress4373]

30hp tune? Shouldnt this go almost 100hp up? your parking sensors should go automatically when put in reverse, while for front sensors you have to push the button, how else the car is going to know if you need sensors.

[@djpeak10]

When did I say 30 HP tune? my current tune added 100 whp! And what I was saying about the sensors in the front is that they should sense an object close to your bumper automatically and come on by itself. my last 2 cars and my wife's do that. Not sure why you have to hit the button.

FANTASTIC CAR! really good combination of colours💙🖤 I’m doing a little research about the 4.0tfsi engines: can you tell me please some fuel consumption information? For example: in highway with constant speed, in general in normal and sport use? THNAKS!

[@djpeak10]

It's all how you drive, haha. You can cruise on the highway and get 23 mpg easy! But I never did. I averaged 14.9 mpg with city and highway driving but mostly city.

[@tjnevis]

Love the car. I've been looking at the S3 myself. Just curious, what do you do? I feel like I make OK money, but I haven't been able to make the calculations work with the car payment and still have the available month-to-month funds I want.

[@djpeak10]

TJ, S3's are sweet, my buddy has one! I place financial advisors into broker dealers, Im a head hunter.

[@tjnevis]

Ah, that's really cool. I'm working with a financial advisory firm to build like a "mint" for their clients. nevistechnology.com/portfolio/financial-symmetry-client-center-project-update/ I don't know a whole lot about the financial advisor world, but it seems like my client might do things a little different than most firms and have more of a closer connection with their clients. But maybe you can shoot me over some info on what you do and I can see if they'd be into broker deals. I'm not sure I'm using the correct lingo. I'm in Raleigh, NC, I don't know if you only work in a certain area either.

[@staceyfaison4411]

What kind of wheels are those?

[@westy44cal]

Sick review. I thought you did great. Great taste in mods as well. Almost sounds like an Amg gts with the resonator delete. Should've taken a video with the phone and gave it some gas to hear it better. I'm considering a 2015 CPO rs7 so it was nice that you went over the changes for 2016. I, like you might be, am not gonna drop 125k. So a used rs7 is around new s7 prices. Love that color as well. Btw. 14.4 mpg is awesome. I like making noise myself but that has me at 9.4 mpg in the srt jeep. So I envy you. Looking for to the tuned video and your thoughts.

[@djpeak10]

Thanks man! Just flashed my ECU & TCU. Definitely pulling really good now! Just waiting on my 93 and 100 octane maps. I will be running the car next weekend at the 1/4 mile drags. If I don't suffer to much heat soak I'm hoping for mid 11's.

[@robertorios1546]

what brand are those wheels??? OEM wheels

[@djpeak10]

They are 21x10.5 TSW Bathurst at all four corners. Offset is a +32, and they are rotary forged so I lost 6 lbs. per wheel from stock.

Are the s6's any good in the long run? I see some 2008-2010s for sale for only like 15-20k$ with not too bad of miles. Considering the looks, power, features, and performance it seems like a steal, & had me interested months back, but i figured any major maintenance/fixes costs would be super steep lol.

[@djpeak10]

Not crazy about the C6 S6 styling but those V10's with exhaust sound nuts!!! After all it is a Lamborghini motor in it. I think with some wheels they can look good though. Maintenance cost could be an issue though.
