2010 3 door sportback? The Sportback is 5 door.
You could change the single tip to a double but I can’t confirm if it would fit without and modifying, alternatively fit an S3 diffuser https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/222821530910 .
Audi never offered quad exhausts for the 8P (if I’ve understood your ‘double twin exhaust’ comment correctly).

Any helps really appreciated mines a 3 door maybe its not a sport back?? its got a valance on there already but looks crap with a single pipe ill put some pics on looked at the one you suggested the s3 one that would be fine just need to know about fitting i thoughf someone on here must of done it at some point? I cant upload any pics wont let me but the one i have is single pipe on left and the valance has a bit of a criss cross patern on it...am i right in thinking as its a 3 door the one you suggested is 5 thats no good?? Any help would be really appreciated cheers

The 5 door A3 is classed as being "Sportback"
3 door is just hatch
In regards to the diffuser, im sure you have to change the rear bumper to fit the S3 diffuser as its a 2 piece valance/diffuser and all facelift 8P's have a 1 piece diffuser
You can however get a twin exit black edition diffuser that will be a straight swap on the bumper you currently have.
The 2.0L black edition model years 58 - 11 had twin exit diffuers and then for some reason switched to singl exit there after.
Keep a look out on eBay and you should be able to find.
Alternatively search for a 58 - 11 black edition on autotrader ebay, give the reg to TPS / Audi Main dealer and get a price on the diffuer from them.
See below for an example:

Thanks for the help i checked out what you said 58 and 59.plates seem to have the twin port on the diffuser (which is same as mine but with single port) my model and sfter have the single exhaust it looks terrible the rest of the car looks good but this lets it down will do as you suggested there is not allot of difference between that and a s3 rear anyway and it seems like a lot of grief to put an s3 on buying a new bumper etc and diffuser will get in touch with tps cheers for the advice much appreciated
yeah the single exit diffuser doesn't look as smart as the twin.
No idea why they stopped the twin exit, I mean single on the 1.6 is fine but on the 2.0l's should have kept as twin exit.
Best of luck!

Yeah they look pony spoil the whole look of the car cheers for the help will let you know how i get on ta
Just had a look on ebay the double diffuser is £134.99 and then you have to buy the grill inserts seperate which are split into 4 for £177.00 .....£311.99...then has to be sprayed and fitted and new twin exhaust tips ....seems a bit steep to me!! Looked at my single port one on mine it has the grills on it but i bet there different to the double pipe and there glued on which means they will probably break coming off?? Did not think it wiuld be that much grief but???
I know thats mental that money have called a audi breakers theyve got one comes with the grills for 150 so may go for that but there up north somewhere so might just have to wait till one comes up
