Hello there, new to all this,
Been spending months looking at B8 rs4’s and finally deceided to take the plunge, money sat there waiting for the right car, just a few queries before spending my kids inheritance. Is the allimunium styling pack a larger front splitter than if not specced like does the styling pack any more body kit or litreally just the colour ? And also what is the difference in the sports exhaust, is it litreally just the colour of the tips or is there any more noice that comes out of it ?

Many thanks Ben

Just the colour. All the parts are same are same spec (inc front splitter)

Sports exhaust has black tips, the standard one is silver.

Sports exhaust is noisier than non-sports.

As @MikeFish says it’s ‘sportier’. Usually comes as part of a larger pack of options so hunt out the PDFs of the original brochures. Their linked off here somewhere - will really help narrow down what you want.

Aluminium pack gives you: matte effect painted front spoiler which makes it appear larger and a painted rear bumper detail, which goes around the exhaust/diffuser area. If it's something you like or dislike, then a paint Shop could easy paint it on or cover it up.

The sports exhaust is a little louder than standard and has the black tips which pit and chip easily. If you're the type to fit aftermarket exhausts to cars before and been happy, then the Sports Exhaust might not be enough noise. On 2014+ cars with the sports exhaust you also get the Engine Sound option on the Audi Drive Select, when programming your individual mode.
