The two exhaust on one side doesnt mean its dual exhaust. its probably just two pipes coming from one muffler. The ones with pipes on two sides are probably actually dual exhaust.

stock exhaust and aftermarket exhaust systems…audi wouldn’t build 2 different sytems for the same car…

umm ur obviously confused i work at an audi store since 1999 and we have never gotten audi a6′s with 20 exhaust pipes on one side, maybe the person customized it

Its dependent on the trim level/specification of the individual A6 model whether dual or side by side pipes are fitted.

I believe the last poster is closest to the correct answer.
It is all dependant on the engine size. A6 have three possible engine sizes from that year. A standard 6-cyl (3.0) a turbo 6 (2.7T) and a V-8 (4.2). The 6-cylindar engine has a single exhaust manifold to a single exhaust pipe system. This means the two tips on one side of the car.
The twin-turbo and the v-8 have segregated manifolds for each side of the engine block, hence for the turbo and the v-8, dual exhaust tips.

Hi there,
If you are in North America, the answer is actually pretty straight forward.
The cars with twin outlets on the same side of the car are front wheel drive cars, while those with one outlet on each side are Quattro (AWD) equipped cars. If the car has two outlets per side (total of four on the car) it is an RS6.
Hope this helps.
