My friend is seriously considering an A3 3.2 Quattro...but wants to know why it doesn't sound like my R. Same engine but different manifold I'm presuming?

Slightly different exhaust and R32 probably has some type of noise pipe. Both are 250ps though, so same output.

Yeah its the exhaust, guys in ozzy just replace the exhaust and get the full 3.2 v6 sound ;)

Toro

Get rid of these two (I know, only one in the picture):

Awesome...I guess apart from sound and looks performance and handling is on par?

Would be interested in this too, my brother is on the lookout for the 3.2 Quattro A3 because he doesn't want a GTI and can't afford an R32.

There's a 3.2 A3 owner up in our hill and his car is very quiet compared to when I hear Tim (creepdontsleep) driving around town!

I know it's not a 3.2 and the 3.2 vs 2.0T arguement has been done to death, but if I was your friend I would seriously consider this.

Full S-Line interior and exterior package. Low kms and full service history.
The S-Line package would cost 5k+ to add on to a non s-line, they are very rare in NZ and the price is super sharp for what it is.
