Chrome exhaust tip mod for petrols

[sftdi]

Anyone petrol owners taken the plunge yet?

I am tempted myself as I ve seen a few diesels with them and it looks smart.

Change the exhaust to 2 outlets, you will not have the clearance in the valance converting frm 1 to 2

 

[Dazz78]

Got mine. Well worth it imo

 

[Tom75]

Hmm, this was standard on mine or does this one come with s-line?

 

[Buneet]

Same it was standard with mine too!
Here's a picture of mine buddy

Are my eyes deceiving me or is there a difference in the exhaust finish between yours and Dazz78?

No idea mate, mine is Chrome and it came like that as standard when I bought the car from Audi, I do have the Sport model though, not sure if S-line or other trims are different

Cheers. Mine is a Sline and its certainly not like the the one on Dazz78's car. Mine could do with a scrub and some metal polisher as well, something which I never had to do with the exhaust on my old diesel A1.

I have definitely as standard the same as Dazz, at least it looks exactly the same. But I have a 1,8 TFSI quattro, maybe that is the reason?

I 've just checked the latest UK A3 sales brochure and it mentions the Sport variant having chrome tailpipe finishes. But not the case for sline or SE.

 

[Schizophonic]

If that's the case, the sport back sport has the dual chrome exhaust tail pipe.

 

[cemerson]

I'm pretty sure that the 1.6TDI and lowest petrol engine have the single exhaust, everything else has dual.

My s-line had chrome pipes the last time I looked

Cheers for that. It seems the chrome pipes have been omitted from the petrol SE / Sline models. Guess I will have to fork out 60 notes

I suspect the brochure is wrong for the s-line

 

[sftdi]

I suspect the brochure is wrong for the s-line

Or someone's pilfered my pipes

 

[RossR]

I suspect the brochure is wrong for the s-line

Doesn't the brochure state that the S Line trim has everything the Sport trim does?

Edit:

S line model equipment
In addition to Sport
model equipment

My 1.8TFSI (FWD) S-Line has twin chrome exhausts.

I think it works like this:

Twin exhaust on all except 1.2 TFSI and 1.6 TDI ( 2x twin exhaust for S3)
Chrome finishers on Sport trim and above.

I'm same car and same tail pipes

It wasnt standard on my SE... £60 extra for the double pipes from the dealership. Just spent 2 days detailing her when i took that photo so nice and shiny Just used autoglym super resin polish on them... does a good job of getting the black soot off as well

I fitted Skoda Yeti chrome exhaust tips to my SE, in my opinion they are not chrome but polished stainless steel. They are a perfect fit, they would be being the same as Audi ones, except they are stamped with a skoda part number. Very easy to fit, took about ten mins max, you need a hammer or rubber mallet and a short length of timber to tap them on as they are a tight fit. The instructions say to cut the exhaust ends but this is not required.

Best bit is you can walk into any skoda dealer and buy them for £25 or from a Skoda dealer on ebay delivered for £28. Don't bother paying rip off Audi prices.
