I wondered if one was available too as the twin exhaust at the back looks great!

Bolts right up mate, just make sure the exhaust is from a FWD car if that's what you've got.

Mine's a 130 TDI quattro, so could I just get the rear valance with cut out and exhaust tips from, say, a 1.8T or 2.5TDI exhaust and get them welded on the back of my current exhaust?

You just need the rear valance, then go to your local exhaust place (powerflow etc) they'll have a choice of stainless tips for you to choose from and they'll weld them straight on for you - Probably cost you ab out £50 I'd say. The standard 1.8T tips are only 60mm, so look tiny. I was lucky enough to get the 85mm black optic option from the B7, so don't look too bad - I'd personally go for 100mm tips that look more aggresive - like these MIlltek jets http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp108/1-marc/KW_1_sized.jpg

Thanks for that reply, that's really useful. I know I have exhausts on each side, but I think there are 2 pipes coming from each exhaust - if you know what I mean. Can they just chop them off and replace it with one each side quite easily?

I'm pretty sure the B6 1.9TDI quattro has one outlet on each side. Have a crawl under to check for sure - post a pic - I'd be interested to see it.

Either way, the exhaust place would be able to cut the tips off and weld new stainless ones in their place. Best thing to do is is take it the the exhaust place and have a chat with them, they'll get it in the air and talk it all through with you. You'll also be able to get a better view of underneath yourself at that point. Remember you'll need a new rear valance to allow for the new tips.

You're absolutely right, it does only have one each side! Dunno why I thought there were two! So just need to have a look at a few tips - I suppose the length of them is fairly important too as I don't want them to be unseen, but then I don't want them poking out so far I look like a chavvy Saxo or something!
Oh, and I have the valance thing in hand!

Here's a picture...

Sounds like you're sorted then mate. Just get it to a exhaust place and they'll talk you through everything :beerchug:

Hopefully all ok, cheers! The valances I thought I had sorted have fallen through... one was standard, the other is attached to a bumper on ebay and is currently rocketing in price... just checked vag-cat.com and it seems one for a V6 TDI is £70ish, so may go that route - though it looks a bit plain. Dunno, will need to think a bit more! Also have a holiday and stag do to organise/pay for so may be putting it off... Though it's good to know it's a relatively cheap mod!
Thanks for all the help too!
