Default 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. 😃

You clearly have never met me yet than have you

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.
