Milltek drone on 2012 S5 Coupe Tiptronic

James Van Lancelot · 05-07-2012, 06:15 PM

Hi all,

I had a Milltek non-resonated exhaust fit on my 2012 Audi S5 Coupe Tiptronic last week. I told the mechanic not to make it too loud so he left the stock downpipes on the car and just installed the Milltek catback. I love the sound! However when accelerating between 1500 and 2000 RPMs (especially in higher gears) there is a annoying drone.

Does anyone else have a drone with Milltek on the V8 Tiptronic? Is it possible that the drone is caused by the Milltek catback being fitted with the stock downpipes?

Thanks for your help,
James

I had the milltek non res on my auto s5. it droned alot. putting the downpipes will only make it louder.
Look into AWE, they dont drone if you dont add the downpipes

We could help you swap out to a resonated center section if you'd like.

You will get drone under 2200 what ever you do, just different levels.
