Hello, so I have had my S4 2.2T for 6ish years. When I first got it I thought it had a major problem. With a special clonking noise when low rpm/lugging/moving off from a stand still. Turns out it was just the standard one tonne exhaust system clonking on one of the crossmembers under the car, the mounts had given up.
So I had a exhaust shop cut the system at the Y piece remove the cats and turn it into a single 3 inch system. It has a single 18in long resonator and a fairly involved rear back box. Overall its livable, but at 100km/h our motorway limit, you guessed it, DRONES!
I kept the old system, and found it under my house the other day. The car is NZ new and as we don't salt the roads is in fine shape. I am thinking of getting a shop to re attach the the original back box after splitting the single pipe back in to two.
Has anyone had experience with this? Will i loose the drone with just the original rear muffler or should I also incorporate the original centre muffler/resonator?
Just looking to get back into driving it more, and think i avoid longer drives in it because of what i have done.. I also have a 850 T5 that I didn't mess with the exhaust on!
On another note, I took the steering wheel off years ago without un hooking the battery. So the air bag light is on (when the bulb is i the socket!) I recently purchased the 2x2 pin to 16pin diagnostic cable and want to try vagcom? Is there a link to installation of the program, I guess i also need another lead to attach to the obd2 port on the cable then into my laptop.
thanks
