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.
RS has always been large ovals. Must be a few people around not familiar with RS heritage, or disinterested by it. Pity.
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:
