Default RS5 questions

Is the sport exhaust worth it on an RS5? I am entertaining the idea of this for my next car early next year. Also, is there a chance they will do away with the V8 and go to a twin turbo V6 in 2015? I have not seen any info on future RS5's in the US. Thanks in advance and if anyone else has input on placing an order (already secured with dealer) I am open to suggestions!

I love the sport exhaust. Although I haven't heard the non-sport exhaust so can't compare. The sport exhaust sounds really nice when the exhaust flaps are open. It has a nice growl at lower rpm and a snarl at higher rpm's. And downshifts sound amazing. I highly recommend it!

Also, when not in sport, it's fairly quiet with the exhaust flaps closed on two of the pipes.

Thanks, I figured it sounded good. I have never heard one in person (with or without) due to the rarity of the car itself. Glad you are enjoying the nice ride!

Worth it if you are not going aftermarket.
