Yes it is possible. MRC Tuning in the UK can map the over run pop and crackle in.

 

Is it something they can map in to be accentuated only while in Sport Mode (so its not ALWAYS occuring for when you wanna go unnoticed or coast quietly at night etc)? Or is it something they code in that'll happen at ALL times?

You will have more popping and crackling on downshift after you install your TCU upgrade from us! Shipping tomorrow.

OH YEA?! I can't wait

 

My gen 1 with a Larini produces a ton of pops and crackles on overruns, none on a downshift though.

 

My Capristo-x does that too but no way near the likes of the F-type, Hurricane or the new R8. I can get it done but think it will annoy me after a while

 

Sounds killer!

It does sound like a bit of a war-zone

 

My V10 with the Kline pops/crackles during downshifts at certain RPMS and speeds. It sounds so good!

 

Sure it does buddy Prove it by doing a vid !

 

The SOL Merc sounds like a truck! Not high pitched enough for my taste. A bit like the SLR group we passed on a tour a few years back ; sound was crap ��

 

I know, and want to see more

That's porn

 

My AMG in Sport+ mode (with AMG Dynamic Performance Exhaust) is THE FUNNEST thing to drive and listen to, and NEVER gets old IMO. Acceleration sounds simply *vicious* and it'll manually downshift every gear as you decelerate, overreving and backfiring (the proper term for the "pops & crackles"). I absolutely love it.

"The powerful sound of an AMG model is one of its many sensory delights. From its startup growl to its assertive rumble when you open the throttle, the AMG GLE63 S exhaust system's free-flow design delivers an audible celebration of power with every upshift, downshift and rev. Computer-controlled vanes near the tailpipes further enrich the soundtrack in the Sport and Sport+ modes of DYNAMIC SELECT."

When I drive the R8 in Sport mode, it will manually downshift and overrev slightly (noticeable), and there will be a slight backfire. But it's nowhere near as aggressive or loud. I am still on the OEM GT exhaust, however. Hopefully that's changing soon

Special offer prices on the TCU upgrade will be posted soon for all!

 

R8 Stuff, the Transmission upgrade makes the exhaust backfire ?

 

Don't believe that... IT DOES NOT.

 

Maybe that's why my Kline pops so much?

 

LMAO. You got a video of this?!

There you go I would say that the bangs are at least 3 times louder than that from the video

 

It's funny decel popping on Harley's when I owned one was sign of a ****ty tune. On cars people want it.

 

Because you shouldn't have it with a proper tune. It should only be there if you're doing it on purpose. Otherwise, its due to ignition breakup (if occuring at high rpms while on the throttle) or due to poorly timed fuel map (if fuel is still being provided after you lift off the gas).

 

Excessive pop/crackle is not for me either. A little bit is fine but in my opionion too much just doesn't sound refined and would get annoying as hell on a daily driver.

 

Do check out how fast the gear changes are in the latter part of the video from 26 seconds

I had a OBD-2 TCU RACE tune to begin with and now a full on custom gear box map and the difference is night & day better and faster.

Not picking on anyone's OBD-2 systems... just wanted to share my experience.

That sounds freaking sick man!!!! Who did the custom gearbox map?

Awesome video! love the R8

 

Those are INSANELY fast shifts. Geez.

Two questions:

1) Is there any downside to that? Ie, is it increased wear 'n tear on the trans (if the trans itself is made to shift slower)? Or was that just how Audi tuned it (poorly)?

2) I see you have a backup camera on your GT. Which one did you go with, being that they were deleted from the GTs from the factory?

 

There's no downside at all. The gear changes just bangs into place and the throttle is back on instantly. In traffic full Auto, the gear changes seamlessly without any jerks etc. Before when I had the OBD-2 TCU race tune, slow speed full auto changes were still SLOW and clunky in comparison to say the least. I would say that in Sports mode, the shifts are at least 3 times faster than what I had before and has transformed the car.

I retro fitted the OEM reversing camera apart from the main wiring loom from Kufatec because Audi won't sell you it.
I have also retro fitted the footwell LED's ( the Led's and holders are in place but with no loom) which is a nice touch.

Thanks.

 

classba, can you do an outside video with the car doing full acceleration and downshifting?

And I assume the TCU was removed and benched flashed?

 

I see what I can do regarding a video. The gear shifts are lightning quick... very much like the S-Tronic but with the aggressiveness of the R-Tronic. It's really hard to put it in to words but I just love how it drives now.

Yes the TCU was removed and flashed but the car was initially ran on the dyno to gather my gear shifts timing logs etc ( I'm not 100% sure what they did) then after being flashed, the car ran on the dyno again to check shift speed etc. The video above was the first dyno run after the flash and implement of the crackle & pops. I'm going back there this week end to see if they can tweak it to make the pops duration shorter lol
