I’m a quad person as well, but I do like the look of black chrome exhaust tips. And, they are easier to keep a
Just my 2˘.

When I look at the abt rsr5-r sportback. It looks so aggressive from the back. I wonder how much demand there is to sell the stock sport exhaust.

I prefer quads, too. I always thought a more logical approach would be to have two small tips for the A model line, then two larger/oval ones for S model line, then quads for RS. I’m pretty much sure though Audi did it in purpose

Man... differentiation (and heritage) for the RS models with oval exhaust and people prefer the S model exhaust. Ouch.

For me — first Audi — there is no sense of “heritage” in the dual versus quad discussion. It’s strictly “Dual vs. Quad” with no external drama association. Sorry.

Fair, but here ya go:



And when you look at the updated R8, it switched from the trapezoidal exhaust to oval exhaust. It's a design feature and differentiator for the Audi Sport models.

Not to beat a dead horse . . . but if it’s got more than 2 doors, PASS.

Not begrudging free choice but that’s my take on automobiles — Only 2 doors.

YMMV

When I look at the S5, the exhaust is what draws my attention. When I look at a RS5, the front grille and the fender flares gets my attention.

You want quads, get an S instead, because the S model signature is quad exhausts. Or remove all RS badging and stick on whatever you like, it is a cosmetic treatment anyway.

Or look for other alternatives in the VAG stable if number of "pipes" sticking out the back is important, such as Ferdinand Piëch's latest purchase:

In America, more is obviously better.

Classic restrained subtleties don’t tend to be as popular*
