I think dual tips might be a nice touch. I don't think I've ever seen that on a B5.

Maybe its just the angles, it seems like the rear flare doesn't rise as high up on the fender as the fronts do. Just something that my eye snagged on. Looks great though!

Dual tips would be interesting. Lots of people shave the hole to make a full valence. Then they use shorter, turn-down tips for the exhaust. Looks pretty clean. I'm not sure which way I lean, I dont mind exhaust tips, but the clean look is cool. Dual tips look ricer on Hondas, but they might look good on our Audi's. Maybe you can tell people you've got a 4.2 under the hood. I'd say stick with the motif of breaking the mold, go dual!

Wow - coming along nicely!

Dual exhaust on a B5 is tricky, the fuel tank is in the way on the passenger side, so there's not much room to work with.

another idea is you could ditch the tips and go passat style with not exhaust tips. got specs on those wheels? you gonna use spacers? come on take a few days off work and finish this thing lol.
