Default Poll: Exhaust tip design preference

As the title states, which tip design do you think looks better. A) The side cut angled with the car, or B) Straight cut vertical and tips are staggered?

No, I kinda did one side at a time and then took pictures. I could always switch back and forth in a matter of minutes. What kind of pics are you looking for?

Slash cut aligned w/ car looks more OEM, staggered vertical looks more aftermarket. Slash cut aligned w/ car looks cleaner IMHO.

Neither. I would prefer large oval tips like the RS4 has.

Ever since I got my A4, I've dreamed of having an oval-tipped dual exhaust. Granted, oval tips are reserved for RS cars but the the design of the B8 rears just look like ovals belong. The tail-lights look slightly elliptical from afar, as does the curves of the trunk lid, sides, and valance.

Unfortunately, no company at the moment is willing to create a valance that would fit oval tips
