Why does Audi TT 180 have one and the 225 two?

My A4 1.8T had two (only 163 bhp).If you can re map a vRS to 220+ without one is it more cosmetic than anything(thinking 170 bhp Hyundai coupe and mgf's)

Wondering if remapping means you should look at your exhaust too? (Don't want to spend more than

I only normally see twin pipes as good on a V engine.

Not convinced there's any power related issue with putting them on cars of similar spec/style (like the A4 Vs 180 TT)

Could just be styling to distinguish them (i.e I might pick on a single pipe TT, whereas a double pipe I'd most likely not bother )

Some twin pipe TT's can be picked on J, the base model Quattro is surely worth a try? It is not just the V6 that has twin pipes.

My colleague has a 2.5TDi A4 with twin pipes.

Actually, I think the MGF has a flap that opens the second pipe when it is in the VVT zone so perhaps it is of some importance on a non-turbo car.

I thought base model TTs were single pipe (180 and 150) and the twin was 225? Not sure on the V6 as I heard that was 250bhp but big V6 made is slower than the 225 turbo one.

All Quattro TT's have two pipes regardless of power output

i think its just cosmetic.... get your remap done dont worry about exhaust...

Me is very confused now. So a single tail pipe is likely to be a 150 FWD one? Right, shall make a note to pick on all single pipe ones regardless now.

All FWD TT's have a single pipe, all 4x4 TT's have twin pipes.

All FWD TT's have a single pipe, all 4x4 TT's have twin pipes.

TT180's are 4x4 and they only have single pipe. 225's, 240's and V6 have twin pipes. The only FWD TT is the 150 convertible.

Let's face it you'll have a crack at it regardless

twin pipes are handy on small cars if you break down a lot. you can push it like a wheelbarrow...!

audi TT 150s and 180s have single pipe, 225s have twin. presuming it's really cosmetic more than anything...

When it breaks down and you have to push it like a wheelbarrow.

Now sits back and waits for all the Skoda jokes !!!!!

EDIT:- You beat me to it:P

Well, I'll have a go at most things regardless. I don't mind losing if I've had my bit of fun. Don't have to win all the time ya know. [says he who took a tasty black Mk2 GTI 16v to 80 from standing start last night and was about 50 yards ahead - enjoyed that]

Actually, I think the MGF has a flap that opens the second pipe when it is in the VVT zone so perhaps it is of some importance on a non-turbo car.

Indeed it does, at about 3000rpm I think although it is completely irrelevant to it's performance and merely cosmetic visually and audiably. The style of the MGF suits twin exhausts, but the valve is there so that at low speed and around town driving only one exhaust is used and thus noise is reduced. Upon reaching 3000rpm the the valve opens to produce a more sporty noise.

Just look at touring cars, they use relatively small single exhausts (or used to). I think for most modern cars the twin exhaust thing is mainly for the look and sound.

Most of the restriction I think occurs in the backbox and cat anyway.

The what? My car is unfamiliar with these exhaust fittings.

:P well don't weasels have something the equivalent?

I just pick on any TT's, regardless of how many tailpipes :rofl:

I dont' pick on TTs, nor would I ever... they tend to be driven by pretty blonde ladies armed with scissors

I dont' pick on TTs, nor would I ever... they tend to be driven by pretty blonde ladies armed with scissors

are you scared of them? :eek:

Not True! You can Spec a Twin Pipe on a FWD TT, Factory order Only! Audi will then Relieve your wallet of Nearly

TT180's are 4x4 and they only have single pipe. 225's' date=' 240's and V6 have twin pipes. The only FWD TT is the 150 convertible.

Nope! 180Bhp TT's are available as either FWD or Quattro's! You are right that all 150Bhp versions are FWD only!

Don't see the point of a 150Bhp version, If you can't afford a proper one don't frickin' bother:D

no idea on the twin pipe thing, my quess would be looks on the smaller engine cars. my A4 has 190PS and has twin pipes but really i think its for looks, i maybe wrong tho

(does seem quite alot of work and expense just for looks tho)

Don't see the point of a 150Bhp version, If you can't afford a proper one don't frickin' bother:D

on the contrary, I suspect that many are bought for the 'image' (I know that one of my mates did that) and won't be used to anywhere near it's full handling potential, never mind the power, so I don't really see the point of the 225 one!
