What are the differences between 5 and 5A and 4 and 4A?

From the looks of it diameter on the silencer seems to be same.
No sizes given in ETKA.
You will have to measure it.
Also can't tell what is the difference between 4 and 4A, only from the looking at it one seems to be slightly shorter.
A's are around 40quid more expensive

In fact, looking on autotrader it appears not all 4.2 TDi's came with straight tips.

I might be safer going for 3.0 petrol tips if they were the same diameter.

I'll try and get 1 off at the weekend and have a measure.

Has anyone on the forum taken off the D3 3.0 Tdi tail pipes and fitted straight out pipes
I don't want to grind off my tail pipes to find out the straight out ones do not fit

Look at the cut outs in the bumper on both types, no difference.
Same bumper on 4.2 diesel (down pipes) and petrol

Plus you do not need to cut them out, there is a jubilee clip

Yeah that is what I was wanting at least 3" something that looks more aggressive especially as I have bought original S8 badge from Audi for the boot

I put two scorpion tail pipes on my old D2 sport it transformed the car

I will go out this weekend and measure the pipes out of the back boxes so I can see what will fit

You will be better off (money wise), way better, if you go for non Audi tail pipes. Something quality of course......and possibly ( please ) slightly bigger ones than stock
There is enough room for at least 1/2" bigger straight single ones, it will look sooooo much better.
Look at the gap around mine quads (4x 3"), no complaints at all.

I can bet £20 there is enough room to fit 3"
