That was my thoughts I’d love to get rid of the chrome plastic trims and have proper pipes all the way through easy enough I would have thought just hoping someone else has either done it or found someone who can,probably an expensive thing maybe someone in the club has some insight.
It seems to be such a silly thing my a8 diesel had fake trim but it wasn’t meant to look like exhausts just to give the impression and that didn’t bother me at all but because they are clearly making them look like exhausts on the S4 I find it drives me mad as you said it is a heritage thing but they switched to diesel,the customers know they are diesels so why make it look like the old petrol one.I would love to know how many people dismissed the S4 and s6 because of the fake pipes more than dismiss them because they are diesel I bet.Such a shame because the diesel is an epic engine and really suits the car real world quick and economical and I have been hugely impressed with it .....oh but the pipes Steve
