Exhaust flaps open and loud!
 
Just done the little trick of holding open the back box flaps and what a difference! Sounds really meaty now just ticking over! Will take her out in a bit and see what a difference it makes in the low rev range around town. 😃

Its not intrusive and I like it.

Yes Del sounds good to me
I generally work nights so will look rough as a badgers arse at breakfast time.... 😅

You clearly have never met me yet than have you :ROFL:

You fancy next weekend, I'll ask Matt if he's up for it, he usually is.

I'll make a thread to see if any others are up for it too.

I do believe i have the whole weekend off so that would be fine with me!
I just went down my dads and he was so impressed he had me do his on the spot! 2 ice silver D3s in the family. He suggested going out to get some nice shots sometime.

Such an easy mod to make, I did it with a couple of large jubilee clips and find the difference is most noticeable on a cold start when it growls nicely for a good 30 seconds. +++

I'm flying back from America next Friday and haven't driven the S8 for almost 3 months so I am really itching to get behind the wheel again! So if I'm feeling OK jetlag-wise I'll try and make it.

What is this trickery??? Is it an S8 mod only?

Thanks. Thought as much. Jealous of all you V8 owners. Met up with someone yesterday and listened to his V8 A8. Bah what a sound. Addictive. Decision made. Next A8 I buy is 4.2 V8 diesel.
