Smaller and faster.![]()
Well, seeing as my car has 240kw and 450nm with two exhaust pipes, I struggle to believe there is any mechanical reason 4 (gettit) the 4 pipes....
...and it is pretty obvious why the S3 and G7 R need 4 pipes. They look the same as any S-line Audi or Golf gti. The only real way to tell them apart is the ridiculous use of 4 exhaust pipes.
EDIT - and my car actually only uses one exhaust pipe under normal driving....second one opens up with spirited travel!
He has a M235i....
He had a post on his buying experience a few months back.
Previous car was an Astra J OPC
The Golf is a little more technologically advanced than the 235.
Ok, so straight 6 with low boost turbo. Probably not a sophisticated turbo and uses back pressure for better fuel consumption.
With high boost turbo you need bigger diameter pipe. The Golf is a little more technologically advanced than the 235.

Smaller engine, better performance, better gearbox, better fuel consumption, better drive train.
Both the Smart and the Adam has most of that.Smaller engine, better performance, better gearbox, better fuel consumption, better drive train.

I saw an old couple today in a bright yellow Adam; prob the Glam.
They looked cheerful driving it...![]()
