AM never mind not posting this on the R forum, what about posting it on the F30 forum  :grin:

Both of us have been gently flamed but in a gentlemanly way for going to the dark side. Myself partially as I still have a BMW. We are the VAGabonds. Apart from the M3/M4, the rest of the 3 Series have one or two really measly pipes and this has affected them psychologically! But it is an excellent forum with really great posters with a good sense of humour. And I will say this: my BMW is wonderful to own and drive.

Have you managed to tell them that your SQ5 beat the Macan and the BMW X4 in a recent comparative test in Car? The reactions would be hilarious!
There are a few annoying blinkered idiots over on F30post but in the main its a good forum.
Not sure I have read the Car review, how do you think a post along the lines of my SQ5 beat a Porsche would go down ....

Or, My SQ5 thrashed the X4 and even beat the Macan! Fancy that!!!!  :laugh: :evil:
Oh go on. Brigand, Tengocity, dopper99, et al will be apoplectic!  :evil: :evil:

It seems that four pipes may be the 'in thing'. On page two of the linked thread is a Leon Cupra that just had an aftermarket pipe. www.tdisport.com/Forum/topic/8204-andrewjbs-mk3-leon-cupra-280/page-2
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Do you have a link to the Car review for the SQ5 am? Maybe I do need to point out to the F30post masses that an Audi beat a Porsche but they will need to see it in writing to believe an Audi beat a BMW!! :laugh:

It is in the Sept Issue. Giant test between X4 3.0d/Macan Diesel/SQ5 by Ben Barry.
Unfortunately, I can't find a link. Sorry. :cry:

The twin centred exhausts on the Mk6 R look better imo.

This guy clears things up and I tend to agree - according to his rules the GTI and R should have a single fat one in the middle...
