    Talking from Lp560 to r8v10,,,its me 8)

    Wow Finally I’m here in this forum!
    Hlo everyone my name is Ahmed from UAE and it sound funny that someone change his car and own a lp560!! (I sold it because I need cash )



    I sold my lp560 lasr 4 months and I was looking for similar car in performance! My dealer offered me a v10 suskiy gray it will arrive my home by end of August. I hope I will love this car
    BTW within two days I will order the AWE system and the GT wing. So what do you think? Also do you really recommend me AWE system? I like more the F1 sound.

    Welcome al7zin_ad

    I am sure you will find this forum full of advice on the R8 and friendly comment

    In regards to the AWE Exhaust..I have just received mine and it is at the Audi Dealer for installation next week.

    I will post comments soon along with some video clips and DB measurements.

    Welcome! And congrats on making a very wise decision! You will not be disappointed with your decision. It is hard to get F1 sound with these cars though... I believe Tubi may be the best route to achieve anything close to it, and even then it's not the same sound you'd get from a Lambo or Ferrari.

    With that said, the R8 V10 shares a similar if not identical engine to the Lamborghini Gallardo and therefore an exhaust on a Gallardo will sound just about exactly the same on the R8 V10.

    Well, I have the Tubi on my V10 and was seeking a Gallardo (F1) like sound. While it is probably as close as you are going to get with what is available, it does not sound like a Gallardo. I suspect it has something to do with the bodywork around the exhaust and tips, or a slightly different valvetrain? It will be interesting to see if the APR tune changes the sound at all (when I get around to it).

    Possibly a different primary Cat or different exhaust manifolds compared to the Audi.

    Having just driven the STaSIS SC R8 V10, and also the VF Engineering SC LP560-4 a few weeks ago, I can confirm that (even with the STaSIS exhaust on the R8) no one is going to mistake the Audi sound for the Lambo sound.

    For myself..it came down to a Tubi or a AWE after many hours of research.

    Maybe its best to jump onto You Tube and listen to the sound you like and research from there.


    Or start here.
