The dealer is still saying the can't replicate the rattle, but they're saying that it's because my car is garage kept. That's a first for me...

It's still at the dealership, has been since Thursday morning, hopefully their answer will change.

 

Time to try a new dealership, sheesh

 

If I had one closer I definitely would.

I got the car back today. Apparently the rattle is the fuel injectors on a true cold start and is apparently normal. I'm not happy with this answer since it is pretty loud.

The check engine light was a evap leak that they just cleared the code. They didn't try to investigate it at all, claimed the car was "too new" to have an issue with the emissions.

 

Three days in the shop for that.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it?

 

That sucks, worst explanation/feeling.
This has now heightened my hearing when I cold start my car, I'm trying to listen for any abnormal rattling.

 

Stillen intakes are on, def the hardest intakes I've ever installed mainly due to the lack of space. Took me forever but mainly because I was taking my sweet time. They sound great because now I can hear that I have turbos when I get on it and it makes me chuckle, the fitment is sub par and required a lot of mocking up prior to clamping everything down and even then its not perfect. I def want better hose clamps so I'll look in to the ones Rochester used from P2M. These intakes came with an option of either a dry or wet filter, it was a coin toss so I went with dry filters (made by AEM, wet filters are K&N). Please excuse my engine bay, pollen season is in full swing.



All tucked in and covered..

 

Nice! I hear there is some low end torque gain?

I'm waiting a bit prior to purchasing intakes, see what else comes out.

 

Yea I would too, hopefully the newer products will have a better and consistent fit.

I felt a little bit of gain on the lower end. Intakes are still breaking in however so we'll see.

 

Man, I can't wait to start working on my Q as well. Slowly but surely we'll get er goin.

 

a year in to it and still short of after market parts makes it very challenging.

 

It sure does, however I only have a 2015 3.7 not a RS.. jumped the gun too soon..

 

Stillen is such a hit or miss. They have really lost my respect over the years with their quality and more importantly, their customer service. Sorry to hear about the intake.

 

Wheels are in. :-) now just waiting on tires. just get installed Friday.

3 PC QLB's 19x10 and 19x11. Brushed Rose Gold Face, Gloss Back Stepped Lip & Barrel / Hidden Hardware.

Excited for Friday now :-)

 

Holy cow! Those are going to be a nightmare to clean, but really, really pretty.

 

Can't wait to see them installed. Be sure to post a picture of them when you they're on.

Make sure you put a good coat of wheel wax or a ceramic coating on them before you put them on, so it'll make them easier to clean!
