Had a quick look under my 2.0TFSI. Looks like it clips on.

That's good to know for folk. I wonder if the difference is that there's only one exhaust setup for the S4 so they just weld them on but you can get variants with and without the chrome finishers on various trim levels of A4 so they clip them on to save having lots of different exhausts. Makes sense I guess!
