Okay guys...next fix for the old girl is exhaust tips... I need to find something with a 3 1/2" diameter... Any suggestions? I love the square ones that jet out. I think I want them to stick out more from the rear fender or just trim the fender to make the hole just a bit larger... Saw some way cool black powder coated ones too.... I'd love to hear some opinions...
What makes you fixated on 3-1/2"? And how far "out" do you mean "jet out?" The stock ones jet out now if you mean just poke beyond the trim panel. I'm not sure having them jet out more would look particularly good. As for square ones, Audi does not typically do those although the newer high line cars (A7, S7, A8, S8, R8) are beginning to show up with single rectangular sort-of shaped tips, but not quads, just one per side following BMW and Mercedes recent exhaust styling - I prefer the sportier ones that Audi previously championed, and still have on the A3-A6.
I like black chrome (have them on my S5 - 80mm - 3-1/4") and actually have a quad set (though they're round and only 70mm - 2-3/4") that was part of a mod I wanted to do awhile back but never followed up on. The stock rear muffler has plenty of room to add a couple simple pipes on the right rear side - even drew a mock up for a muffler shop. I also contemplated a GTI cat-back exhaust figuring it would fit or almost so, since the platform is so similar.
Btw, the facelift will have dual exhausts - one round 70mm tip per side, ala S-line. I'm sure you could retro fit most of those parts but $$$$$...
