So I was wondering whether or not the new 2013 Q5 will feature dual exhaust pipes. My question stems from the updated website; when I go to customize the 2.0 engine, it only has one pipe on the left!! If I'm not mistaken, the 2012 version had dual pipes even on both engine models. Personally, I think having the exhaust pipes only on one side completely changes rear look. Maybe I'm being nit-picky, but it's potentially a selling factor for me if I decide to place an order on the 2013 Q5. Did Audi decide to make this change in order to coerce buyers to opt for the new 3.0 engine?

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty certain the model shown in the configurator is European; I think it even says that. The 2.0's exhaust system in Europe are on the left side, not dual.

Hi Everybody,
I'm not sure but this is some "example" in configuration - not true view. The option also witch 3,0 TDI show one pipe - what for sure is not true. I don't have the 2,0 TFSI 2013 model - but in past the same story was witch 2,0 TFSI from 2009 (this I have) - on "world" configurator the option witch dual pipes was not show - but in national dealer configurator all was OK.
