Make that a 1999! Was: 1998 A6 quattro Avant, dual exhaust?

[Dan DiBiase]

Well, back to eBay - here is a '99 that's very difficult to tell -

But a 2000 sure looks like it has duals -

Being that '99 was the first year of that body style for the Avant, I
don't see as how they would have changed to duals the next year. Also, HP
and torque ratings are the same for both '99 and '00 cars. So, if it does
look like the '00 had duals, then I think it would be a safe assumption
that the '99 did as well.

Another idea would be to check the appraisal - wouldn't that list 2 sets
of exhaust/mufflers as needing replacement?
