I think the car should have been designed with a single pipe exiting centrally as in the Boxster

I hate centre exit exhausts with a passion only rivalled by my hate for upturned DTM exhausts (especially on old BMWs)

Pics as requested. They aren't the best as it was getting dark and I couldn't stand further back as there was a car parked behind me but you get the idea. It does look a little odd but when I get the other outlet hole capped for the spring/summer it'll look a lot better. At that time I'll also fiddle with the hangers and see if I can move the exhaust half and inch to an inch to the right for a more central placement.

P.S. Look what I managed to talk the girlfriend into doing

You can also see the 'pressure' marks below the numberplate where some POS prick backed into me with a towbar pushing my bumper against the gubbins behind it which have tried to push through. The little mark just below the middle '0' is actually a crack. So annoying!! Hardly noticeable in normal light though - flash photography has really highlighted it.

For exactly the same reason the BMC Mini had it - the straightest & most efficient route for FWD!

Makes less sense when you've got a propshaft and diff in the way.

Makes sense for the Boxster because of its VW KdF style transverse silencer. But they could have put two irritating whistling peashooters out of it like those bloody Beetles had!
