Preposterous exhaust pics

[anonymous-user]

Saw one similar to this in Florida earlier in the year. Rolling Coal I think they call it.

Having exhaust outlets on both sides if the car only has one bank of cylinders or is transverse engined is purely bling. Personally I rather like that they haven't.

Functionally speaking, yes!

But audi has had the "S: 2 round pipes either side, RS 1 oval either side" thing for ages, and even uses it to distinguish the V8 and V10 R8s. An Audi RS model without twin ovals just looks fake to me.

That said, from googling, the S3/RS3 apparently deviated from this rule in previous iterations, which imho is just confusing.

Four exhausts on a 4 cylinder golf, complete rubbish. Much worse than any barried saxo imo

Wont be a fan of the Abarth Monza exhaust then!

Speaking of downturned pipes, I like the ones they fit to RX7s..





They sound rather tasty with a modified engine

That RSQ3 is crying out for another tailpipe.

Mines not "preposterous" but is a dirty liar.

Every time I see one of those two of the pipes (one either side) are squeaky clean whilst the others are filthy/black, are two of them fake?

Maybe the other two are only used when a bypass is opened in sports/noisy mode or something like that?

An R owner in a different thread confirmed 2 of them are not connected to anything.

With the old R32, one pipe was valve controlled and less dirty than the other, but at least it actually functioned as a tailpipe!

He may need to take a quick look under his car again, all 4 are connected and the outer one on each side is valve controlled so stays cleaner.

What is the general consensus on these, yay or nay?

I wonder what tune he can play on that.

This belongs in the 'these pictures make my teeth itch' thread. With the level of OCD in there this picture will make them explode

Exactly my point, I've owned B7 RS4, B8 RS4, RS5 and an RS6. All had twin ovals, why the 'effin hell has this RS model only got 1? My missus was going to have one and was put off it by the lack of exhaustage!

Heritage innit. Harks back to the RS2 and B5 RS4. Probably

Anyway ...

Golf R 3 & 5 door hatch, the outer pipe is valve operated.

Golf R estate - 2 of the pipes are not even connected to the back box.

What he said... I mind more that they aren't central than I do about the 'style' this exudes...

I think those kind of overlapping pipes look stupid. Surely the point of many exhausts is to have as much cross section to move loads of exhaust out quickly? having pipes overlap reduces cross section, and the weird triangular bits near the overlap probably behave poorly aerodynamically.

They call it a VW emissions test

Porsche had a a spell with them, I think they look daft..

Put off buying a car because it doesn't have 'enough' exhausts? What an odd reason.

Exhausts on my Bocanegra and Megane 250 Cup were liars too. I think it's quite common.

I bet there is only one 2" pipe from the engine to back box too so all the "higher flow" is just marketing nonsense to sell it to people. Usually the most restrictive part of an exhaust is the CAT and the size of pipe. You can open as many valves you want, if the pipe feeding the backbox is only 2" then you can only flow as much volume as the 2" pipe will allow.

But hey, it makes them look cool down Maccy Ds car park
