Installing new IE downpipe & Stage 2 tune, 2016 Audi S3

[@Andy-Andeee]

Sounds so much better than every raspy EA888 exhaust sounds I've heard

[@vwrich]

Thank you

[@Tamara-bp7hw]

Sounds great!

[@Glamisguy99]

Is that with the exhaust crackle feature turned on in the tune?

[@vwrich]

Yes. Stage 2 has that option

[@98pharaoh]

Nice vid, thanks. Does the stage 2 tune need an IC?

[@vwrich]

An Inter cooler? I think it's recommended but not required

[@gazza8596]

This answers my question haha I’ve done every thing except intacooler turbo and fuel pumps as I was under the impression that was stage 3 mods I’m looking forward to my stage 2 I don’t have an s3 I got the next best thing the 1.8 tfsi Quattro s-Tronic haha things rapid can only imagine what an s3 is like

[@gazza8596]

Do you need a bigger intacooler for stage 2 some people saying I do but some say I don’t haha ?

[@vwrich]

It's recommended, I've always run a larger intercooler when going stage 2

[@blizteredthumbs7911]

Palm face . It was all going so well till it said let's here it lol or let's hear it? .. how's it going anyway? All good?

[@vwrich]

Sold the Audi lol, back in a VW. Loved the tune and IE bolt ons, car was quick and responsive

[@331GTnvan]

How does the car feel compared to the IE stage 1 tune without the downpipe? I am looking to do the downpipe to mine shortly.

[@vwrich]

I was very happy with stage 2 and the downpipe. So much so that with the new car I went straight to stage 2 again.

@@vwrich do you have intercooler or no? Im going stage 2 but says intercooler recommended, do you think it's necessary?

[@vwrich]

@@chrisseromenho4609 I'd recommend it. I've also upgraded my intercooler any time I've gone stage 2

[@anonymous070dhanonymous3]

Res delete?

[@vwrich]

It had already had the res delete done from the factory as an option

[@anonymous070dhanonymous3]

@@vwrich was there any drone? Because i hear alot of people saying there is some drone at 3k rpm

[@vwrich]

No, I didn't really notice a drone.

[@emiliozavala2912]

Transmission or Dsg tune !?

[@vwrich]

The transmission on the MQB platform is a dual clutch transmission also known as a DSG transmission, and yes I had the DSG tune added shortly after I went with the Stage 1 tune. I needed to the transmission (DSG) tune in order to install the Stage 2 tune

[@Noname23489]

@@vwrich bought a s3 last week and had no idea it was IE stage 2, talked to IE and they confirmed it has engine stage 2 and DSG tune, all I can really tell under the hood is that it had IE downpipe, is there anything else I need to do under the hood to keep the car from blowing up?

[@vwrich]

@@Noname23489 make sure the intercooler has been upgraded as well as the diverter valve.

[@SIMPLB9]

Any cel light?

[@vwrich]

No. No issues

[@SIMPLB9]

@@vwrich stock catback and no res delete?
