Why can't people delete the unnecessary posts out of the "quote" to save us having to see it over and over again?

I agree!! LOL

See what I did there?

I suppose we won't know either way unless you know for sure? When I say technical reasons, I really mean cost reasons. But who knows. B-)

I'm 99.9% sure it is not a technical reason... is that enough for you?

Cost is not a technical reason. From experience there is not much difference in cost between the two exhaust designs, certainly not to the extent where that cost could not be passed on the the consumer and it not affect sales...

With a high level of certainty, I think it is obvious that this is a style decision, more than likely, to provide some visual differentiation between GTI and GTD...

I always thought the Audi split exhaust was for the Quattro only?

Not necessarily. The revised 2.0l TT was changed from a twin to a split exhaust regardless of whether it was Quattro or not. The 1.8 remained as a twin

I have a MK7 GTI now and I actually think I'd prefer if the exhausts weren't split, like they were in the MKV GTI... and in my MK6 GTD. It's a purely aesthetic thing IMO but I think the exhausts paired together looks better.

I've got to agree with Joe, I've owned two mk6 GTIs and a mk7 on infinite order and I've never really liked the wheelbarrow handle exhausts.
The GTD one looks more subtle. Slashed tailpipes like on the mk5 would look even better.

This reads like it could be an option for people in the UK with the active exhaust with the speaker system installed: -

Pretty easy to make the GTD exhaust the same as the GTi I would reckon...

Need one of these - http://ebay.eu/1hTda7T

and a custom set-up for the pipes and tips (My local custom exhaust guy does it for less than £300)

As the diffusers are completely different sizes and shapes between the GTD and GTI (as per your pic), does that also mean that the actual bumper itself is different as well ?

No, I believe the bumper is exactly the same - only difference is the shape of the diffuser so I would imagine that swapping them over would be really easy!
