Hi Kingpin,
Decided not to go for side exit exhausts, I prefer the look from the rear of the car with the four tail pipes. I have been used to side pipes on my S3 Aero so I may well miss that lovely burble in my ears. If I do, I know that Librands do a nice set of replacement sports silencers that will give it more bark from the rear.

Like you I've had several Aero 8's in various guises with side pipes, but love the look of the Plus 8 with the four tail pipes. It doesn't sound bad either with the sports exhaust...
