What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Finally managed to get the old wagon scanned today... turns out my intermittently illuminating ABS light is just a faulty rear ABS sensor. Also through up implausible signal from the clutch switch. Both on order and will be fitted shortly.
So my exhaust tips arrived the other day after some help from @Just Rob. providing me with the relevant info for purchasing. Any hoo, nice easy job to fit, just took a little adjusting on the second tip as the oem ones sat uneven. Look loads better in my opinion, the correct size and shape/design to look oem yet a little more special at the same time. Even the exhaust came off easier than i expected for an old bus.

Looks excellent Alex, glad you're happy with them, so much better than the oem ones.
They are a bit more expensive than other tips but the quality is first rate and the seller provided a very good service.

Looks much better Alex did you say they was 89mm tips? And what inner size did you go for?

They are 89mm exit with a 60 and 50mm od reducer, the pipe exiting the stock bach boxes are 50mm so i straight but up joint and weld.
Ok thank you mate think I've found some i like but my exhaust guy is full booked for the next 3 weeks ahhh i just want some noise now lol I'm caught in two minds to go 89mm or 101mm tip.
Personally i think the 100mm tips are a little excessive, although they would sit in the rear valence. Fitment is a huge aspect too, ive got my fitment spot on for my liking.
I could pm you some more detailed pics for 90mm reference if your looking for some more inspiration
100mm per pipe is a bit large , I have quad tips now but each outlet is still only 89mm and they just fit in the s4 valance.
Yeah if you could do that would be great, I've seen a few with the 4” and when they look awesome but only if they have been fitted flush but yours looks really good so its out me in two minds now...

Ill take a few more piccys tomorrow and pop them over to you buddy.
They sit in a bit to much for me Rob i like them so there flush and fit like there part of the rear splitter as much as possible.
you can move them in our out before final fix to suit your personal preference Ricky.
due to the curve of the valance its a not easy to get them spot on without looking like pee shooters out the back .
I'd say Alex's were about the same as mine to be honest, but they are custom fit so can be whatever you desire .

Could be the lighting maybe who knows! Due to the shape of the valence and the straight edge of the tips i went for a 50/50 fitment when looking from above, half is visible the other half is beneath the valence.
Too far in makes them look naff and smaller and defeats the object of having nice shiny bits. Too far out however makes you look like you packing some heavy chav cannon artillery!
I had a custom exhaust made for mine and the happy medium due to the shape of the valance was slash cut tips offset at a 45° angle so the shortest part sits by the narrowest part of the valance.
I would post a pic to show you but I'm embarrassed at how dirty they are so maybe another day!

Gave my old bus (and my S3) a well overdue clean. Scrubs up well for its age.
One of the S3 for the sake of it.

The joey headlamp mod ,ive been wanting to do this for a while now so today is the day .
I bought some paint from B&Q it was a bit expensive £14 a can but it was all they had , i removed the top screws and the ones behind the wheel arch liners i left the under tray and just popped off the top part of the bumper and managed to get the head lamps out ,then i put them in the oven on 200c for about 3-4mins and the lenses came of really easy stripped um down spray the parts i wanted black and refitted ,very pleased with the end result not the best pic to see the effect really

Yep that’s the ones... I do like the black Cherokee tips though, might have a change shortlyAre those those milltek 100mm jet tips Rob.

This is a couple weeks back which I've done that. All this in 12 hours of hard work. Removed all 4 calipers, wire brushed hard, detach front calipers in 3 sections. And a much patience and pleasure! With new brembo disc and pads + vented plates for cooling the discs.
under the turbo , you can access it from above just , but best way is from below, drop the under tray and you can get to it directly.
Yeah definitely a big fan of the 100mm cant wait to get mine in now...roll on 3rd August
