Twin exhaust fitted :)

A Project Zwo type positioning of twin exhaust would have been perfect IMHO :) , even if not going right through the bumper, but just a bit taken off from it's underside. http://www.a2oc.net/pictures/showphoto.php?photo=1162&cat=6
The good part is that you can probably easily modify your double piping endings or even easier give them a touch of black heat resistant paint, but check first if it'll stick to them in case they're INOX or something specially treated.
Good job anyhow, just look at all that bling-bling under the car, not a sign of dirt or rust.:D
 
Thats a really impressive (and expensive looking) bit of hardware Scott. I have to agree with some of the other comments on here - the pipes look like theyre slung too low under the standard A2 bumper, a modification to the skirt and raising them up will look much neater and the result will be very 'RS'
Glad you are happy with the improvement in performance.
 
Thank you all for your honest oppinions, I agree with you all they are to low, I have had a look under the car and I am going to get rid of the rear toe fing and rais it up as high as it should be, but without removing the toe iron it wont be possible as it will fowl on the toe iron (its not like I'm going to toe anything any way).
I fink I will cut the bumper out as high as the top of the toe hole in the bumper I don't no how long it will take me to do because I will have to get it into my work to do it but as soon as I do I'll get some pics up

This is what needs to be cut off.

This is wher abouts I want them to sit.
I do want it looking very rs4 I have seen an rs4 that was in my work with the same tips (twin holes in the middle to but obviously fitting better:() but the hole thing was black, it looked nice but I will see what just the black middle looks like first.

If you can get it to look this this,I would be wondering whats under the bonnet :cool:
I like the idea of the double out but I would have kept it stealthed.
The Sports cat is a great idea too.

playing on paint this is how I hope it will look one day:D:)

yeah, darken, single hole looks much better. I hope you get get that look soon.

But I would prefer a single outlet on either side instead of two. You ain't going to get two banks of cyliners in an A2 (unless a boxer) so it is an obvious sign of extra turns and angle in the outflow system with two outlets. IMHO, it doesn't look like a performance part.
 
I wanted a twin exhaust because it looks "rs" plus all the new big engine cars have twin exhausts.A single exhaust whould look cheap and chavy (not that myn does'nt at the moment) It was supposed to look standard like it come with the car but where they are so low it looks "pants". I have spoke to the place that fitted them and they said they will move them up for me.
I had a look underneath and i cant put them as high as I wanted, removing the toe iron won't be as easy as I thought, having another look I saw the bumper impact bar is bolted slightly above it so I cannot lift them up high enuth to remove all the toe hole in the bumper, so I asked them to move it up to just underneath the toe cover, so I will see how that looks and if still not happy I will put the work in and remove the toe iron, I want to keep the a2 till it dies so want it right.

this is as high as possable without to much work

As for performance it is alot faster, I dont no much about the engine side of things so don't no how all the "bends" and stuff works but looking at the exhaust their isn't much bends in the system at all realy but there is so much more acceleration!!!!:)

sorry just read your message again I thought you ment a single exhaust:D

yes, I do mean a single exhaust. You might get away with a 4 pot A4 faking a V8 or TT faking the V6 model, but sadly not an A2. No one will be fooled an A2 has a V6 or boxer engine under the bonnet. The second exhaust on a single bank cylinder engine is known either as fake or 2 unnecessary 90 degree turns (having no purpose), no matter how well they fit into the bumper.

BTW, single exhaust does not look cheap, it is purposeful and appropriate (see skipton's tasteful, almost straight flow single exhaust). E.g. E36 M3 has single and the E46 has two. And the F40 has 3 with the middle one used as the turbo waste gate. The 2 exhaust arrangement is not for looks. Besides, people don't study years of thermodynamics at universities because anyone with a welder can make a 'performance' exhaust with sheet metal. So IMHO, for both looks and purpose, single exhaust is far more suitable for an A2.
 
ok:confused::confused::confused:

Im sure skiptons does look good but im not into single exhausts any more I think they look better with two even when I see a new audi with a single exhaust I think it needs another one the other side, I just think it looks better in most cases.

I no my car is never going to be an R8 or an RS4 but I put twin exhausts because I like the look of them, and their is only one more 90 degree bend on the new system than their was on the standard one.
anyway I am almost happy with it it just needs lifting and the middle blacking

I'll say each to their own and most important is you like what you have. :)

But don't be surprised if people in the know take the mickey out of it because it really is quite funny (barryboys style) to see a small car with two exhausts!
 
I think the style of the A4/A6 3.0 TDI's is much more suited to an A2 - no bling or showy-ness, just understated wider than usual, slightly downturned pipes:

Thats the sort of thing i was looking at doing, just need to get my brother to stay in the UK long enough to measure up and then get one made

There is a reason for having downturned pipes on diesels - it stops a line of soot gathering on the rear of the car!

Hardly noticed on dark colours, but looks a right mess on the white cars so in fashion now!

Cheers,

Mike

PS Only need for twin pipes is when you have 2 banks of cylinders - otherwise it just adds weight and cost.

Thanks Mike, precisely the point I was making... thought the E36 / E46 M3 example was obvious enough, oh well.
 
The reason for the twin pipes is because I prefer the look of the twin exhaust, maybe I will see an a2 with a single exhaust poking out and like it but I am happy with my choice. Besides whilst the car is parked up looking good :)cool:) who knows whats under the bonnet. I believe a 1.8t has been put in an a2? that could have a twin exhaust, take the tt for example, but yes I no what you mean myn is only a 1.6. I think the same thing when I see a 1.0 citreon saxo with flip paint and a massive body kit and and rocket exhausts, so I no what you mean, but as I say I am happy with my choice how ever unnecessary it is. It doesnt sound ridiculous either its just right for me but I respect your oppinions and I did ask for them and did expect some stick about them:D Especially the bad job at the moment.

I will see how money is treating me and if I have any plans for that date and try and make it to adi. I think in the flesh the exhausts do look better than in the pictures. So hopefully once they have been lifted up and the middle blacked and seen in the flesh I will get a better response so we will see;)
they are being re-done saturday so will put some hopefully improved pics then:)

Thanks

Scott

For the argument about twin pipes, Audi sells quite a few cars with 4cyl blocks with twin exhausts - the 1.8T (or 2.0T as it is now), and the 1.9TDi/2.0TDi models all now seem to have twin pipes at the back with separate final back boxes. Even having a v block motor (V6/8/10/12) with twin exhausts doesn't mean that at some point the pipes haven't come together - e.g. at the cat.

Scott, by the way, and please don't take this the wrong way, but I'd like to say that it's great to see you're posting in nice English now, good work on that.

True, my A4 1.9TDi Q Avant had twin back boxes.
