Default A4 1.8T quattro

Hi everyone!

Does anybody know if the A4 1.8T quattro come with two exhaust pipes by
default? I've seen that in an Official Service, but in the catalogues it
come with only one.

Thanks

One muffler, but with two outlets/tips.

Depends,

B5 A4's come with twin pipe single exhaust

B6 comes with twin back boxs with single exit located either side of the car
< at the back>

And B6 Audi A4 1.8T all come with the twin exit dual back box exhaust not
only the quattro models.

You're absolutely right. I was only thinking about B5 for some reason.

Cheers,

Pete

If you mean 'cat-back' (i.e., from the catalytic converter, to the rear
of the car), yes. But that's the US; I recall seeing pictures of
European cars that don't have the nice-looking dual outlets, cut into
the rear fascia panel. I think theirs are tucked up under the bumper.

Diesel Models tend to have twin single backbox wich point down on the road,
1.8T b5 has Twin single back box, 1.8 n/a models have a single pipe oval
shape.

I paid particular attention to a 2.5TDi earlier today - it had one pip
each side of the car, both hidden behing the valance and both pointing
down at the road. As others have said, all petrol versions of the B6/B7
appear to have visible tailpipes and, certainly from the 1.8T upwards,
one pipe each side. I must look out for 1.6 and 2.0 (non T) models to
see whether they have single pipes.

You're lucky to have some many engine choices!! The 2.5TDI must be
pretty nice, very torquey, I bet....

Probably ... but pity those who choose the 1.6!

Indeed - I was torn between the 2.7T and the 2.5TDi when I was ordering
my A6 back in 2000. In the end I did opt for the 2.7T. Of course, the
best engine for the A6 range is that fitted in my RS6!
