Just picked up my 2020 SQ8, love it but I want it to be louder. Any advice on warranty and lease friendly ways to increase the sound?

ABT has programmable exhaust update https://www.abt-sportsline.com/audi-...917010!7F2D53F
though not sure it'll work for the petrol SQ8.

This offered by ABT for SQ8 is only for TDI with fake sound generators. But Kufatec offers it for RSQ8 which should fit also SQ8 with petrol engine.

And it's actually quite a lot less expensive than ABT's price of 949 EUR.

This, mentioned by you is also for TDI engine with sound generators.
Enclosed below is dedicated to control the exhaust flaps in petrol engine of RSQ8:

That's what I found when looking to change the SQ8 shiny exhaust tips. https://www.cargraphic.de/en/your-ve...q84md30sm4100/
@retom do you know which blacked tips would fit the SQ8 diesel? I've heard somewhere that Porsche's tips should fit https://www.vehiclerevolution.com/po...2016-2017.html

retom

This from Cargraphic is not for SQ8. It is for Q8 only. No chance to find aftermarket real dual tips fo SQ8 with TDI. AdBlue tank on the right side of car not allows to instal dual tips. You have 2 possibilities:

@retom so you've got 4 real exhausts? How does that sound now?

retom

Yes, 4 real exhausts but 2 for sound only. Sound is improved as it goes out at the beck of the car as it was in SQ7 before FL.
