What type of RS3 did you buy and have you taken any photos yet?
I’m from Southampton as well.

Ben.Anyone had any issues fitting a induction kit? ie. Does it or will it affect the air flow sensor? I'm not doing it for more or less power just noise only. Cheers.
No airflow sensor on the RS as it uses a MAP sensor instead.
Delete the 2nd cat under the car for a bit more noise & it won't effect the emissions.
I think JayRS3 has a pair off 2nd hand one's for sale & you could decat them making the underside still look stock which I have done myself.😁
Sorry yours has a full milltek system fitted Der ! 🤣
On the handling front fit a 034 rear anti-roll bar as this puts a stop to any understeer you might find mate.😊

An induction kit can be affected by heat soak and it would seem the Audi induction set up from the Factory is pretty good to be fair.

I'm with you on all counts with that one mate 👍
Also the roar can get on your wick on motorways after a time 🤔
These cars are a hooligan in a Savile Row suit.😁

Hi guys. Might have to bare with me on the photos, not the brightest when it comes to technology. Lol. So it's a 2012 model. Red. ABT stage 1 with full miltek. Can't get over how this car moves. It's lightning. Never owned or driven a German car so not really got a clue about it just read alot of reviews and decided to go with it. Getting a induction kit fitted this weekend just to give it that bit more grunt from the front coz that's all it's lacking I feel.
Hi Ben.
Car looks great. Love the colour combo with the black trim. A better pic of the wheels would be appreciated. Are they standard?
I thought the RS3 was plenty loud enough in standard form, but obviously not for some. Lol. Hope you have understanding neighbours!

Ben.Loud ^^ dam phone. Lol.
Ditto about smart phones
Your Milltek probably does have a sports cat fitted so just have a look at the underside were the front seats are & you should see a bulge in the exhaust system which is the cat.
There's a sports button showen as a S on the dash which opens the 2nd tail pipe outlet mate.😊
