I loved that XKR of yours but I like this one better. I'm a huge fan of that engine too, it reminds me of the 5.0 NA in my XF.

It's too bad the tuner market for this car is so small. In the VAG (Volkswagen-Audi Group) world the 2.0T TSI easily does 300HP+ with tune and basic bolt-ons. Hybrid turbo swaps on stock engine internals do 400HP+. Build the bottom end and 500-600HP at the wheels is possible.

That sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing. :-)
Can you show us more videos of the sound? Maybe extra pictures from the valve / connection with the original pipe?
I am looking to do a similar modification, but debating if I need to add a muffler on 1 pipe and straight pipe on the other pipe (valve closed=less sound because it goes trough muffler).
At your current setup, do you notice a big difference in sound if valve is closed/open?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott. Whereabouts are you located?

After almost 7 months I finally got an exhaust installed on the P300.
Originally I was going with the Super Sprint, but it kept getting delayed (from March eta to December eta) and I didn't like the sound once I heard a video of it.
No shops near me would get back to me about doing a custom exhaust.
Ended up picking up the Ragazzon exhaust which came in within a week from Italy, I just finished installing it myself since no shop really felt comfortable doing the install.

I'm really glad I went with the Ragazzon, it sounds perfect. I get the pops and crackles, every time you shift it does that fart noise thing (idk what its called lol) the valve still works so normal driving it's quiet, like nothing was done.
If anyone is on the fence about it, I can't recommend it enough. The price was kind of insane though...but there's not a lot offered for this car, so that's probably why it the price is what it is.

Would it be possible for you to post a video? I'd love to hear it!

I too would like to hear the exhaust, if you're able to make a quick video.

Here is one from Ragazzon, but they don't offer any video of how it sounds under load:

Definitely, I'll try to get a video made soon. That video they have posted isn't good at all to be honest, even just revving the engine it sounds different.
I'll try to get one up this weekend.

overall I’m happy with the sound, and they maintained the valve so when it is closed it is not too loud.

pic below, sound clip, iPhone microphone doesn’t do it justice, it’s so deep.

Sounds and looks great! Do you think it is too loud in real life?
I am considering to do the same, but worried it will be too loud / or that the sound isn't so nice.

Yeah I'm not going to lie I was nervous at first but I figured I'd take the chance. Here's a pic of it mounted

Im also currently looking into getting the Ragazzon Exhaust. Its the only legal aftermarket exhaust here in Germany. I got my exhaust replaced in warranty with a 2020 exhaust of the new P300. And it sounds so muted.

@Robc2562 Would also love to see a Video of the Exhaust in action while under load / driving.

Here is another revving Video from Ragazzon's Facebook channel:

This weekend is getting to be a little busy, but here's a quick clip I did of some revs recorded with an iPhone.

The revs were at about 4k, the audio is definitely deeper in the video than it is in real life. It's more to show off you get the pops and everything. I'll try to get a rolling video, and use an actual camera for another video.
