Default New to Audi :)

Hello ALL
I am new owner of 2018 S3. Its my first car in Audi. So far glad to make the purchase !!!

2018 Audi S3 Nano Gray Metallic with:
S Sport Seating Package
S Sport Package
Technology Package
Black Optic Dynamic Package


Need some info on Sound Enhancing Resonator Delete Kit and if its worth it. Looking for some loud exhaust note.
Secondly, anyone tried upgrading the tires to 245/35/R19 from currently 235/35/R19?

Hi, I have the same car, minus sport seats and plus res delete. The res delete is loud by stock car standards, but it's not really loud loud. I went to Chicago for the first time a couple of months ago, cool town!

Sweet car! I'm not new to Audi, but new to this forum. Also live in Deer Park, BTW.

I have a 2017 Daytona Grey S3 and my first mod was the resonator delete. Cost about $100-150 and another $100 to have a local shop install it. Completely worth it! Don't hesitate, just do it! Great sound and no drone, especially in Comfort mode (flaps closed), but loud when you want it. Best bang for the buck mod IMO.

I also recommend wheel spacers for a flush look and sport springs (I just put on Emmanuele Design springs and love them).

Cool. I am having resonate delete done over the weekend.
In regards to spacers, I am thinking of going wider tires like 245 instead of 235. I have to change my tires due to its summer orientated and winter will be worse on them.

Good looking car. Welcome.
What did you cross-shop before selecting the S3?
