Hi have just ordered myself a new Audi s3 sport back and was just after a bit of advice, I was really pleased with test drive but the only thing I didn't like was the exhaust noise when changing gear in the s tronic, the dealer told me you can adjust this on settings and make it less noisy in comfort mode is there any way of getting rid of this noise altogether, first s3 for myself so any info from yourselves would be great, I like the sound of exhaust but not the farting noise on gear change thanks in advance now bring on September

Hi mate,

You can't totally get rid of it as such (as far as I'm aware) but the way you drive dictates the amount of 'farts' the exhaust does. Mine only does it when I'm giving it some beans or driving in S mode. It's not even noticeable driving around normally.

Hope September isn't too long a wait for you haha

You only really notice the exhaust note if in S mode as mentioned or change the drive select. Normal driving around town you dont hear much tbh!
