I just picked up my Audi RS3 FL Sedan with OPF from HPerformance. I got the 4-inch exhaust system and a Stage 3 upgrade. I’m just super happy with how it drives and, above all, how brutal it sounds despite the OPF. Everything worked great—I can really recommend it to anyone who loves their five-cylinder engine!!

Do you drive an Audi RS3 8V and have an exhaust system with factory-fitted flap control?

-
Audi Drive Select: Comfort mode
Both exhaust flaps closed (also during cold start) -

Protecting the engine (safety function)
Full load driving with closed flaps can lead to damage, which is why our module opens both flaps from a speed of approx. 4000 RPM to relieve the engine. -
Reversing the flaps using the original button
You have the option of reversing the flaps in Comfort and Dynamic mode.
This means: You are driving in Comfort mode with the flaps closed, but would like them open? No problem: Press the ESP button twice in succession to reverse the flaps. -
Module deactivation using the original button
You have the option of completely deactivating our flap control system by holding down your "Start&Stop automatic" button for approx. 5 seconds. Repeating this procedure will reactivate the module. -
"Misfire" memory function
If you restart the vehicle in Dynamic mode, the exhaust flaps remain open and the misfire is also enabled again without having to select Dynamic mode again. -
SSA memory function
The last status of the Start&Stop function is saved and restored after the engine is restarted.
