R exhaust question?

Post by eightyeightmph »

Cleaned the car today and noticed the internals of the tailpipes are different to each other, does anyone know why? :?

Why does the back box split into 3?

No idea but I'd take a guess it's to do with noise levels. I would like to see inside one.

The thing that baffles me is why oem exhausts never seem to be as free flowing as far as the pipe bends and general design. Surely it would be very easy to make them better. :rolleyes:

Probably to minimise noise though
