I see you've opted for the excavator instead.

Changes how the car sounds along with grin inducing pops and crackles now means completely fake and not doing anything.

I suggest you put some books on your Christmas list next year as you're clearly clueless on how a car actually works

So you think quad pipes (via a single pipe from the manifold) on a 4 cyl engine have any benefit whatsoever? lol

Science tiemz!

Take a pipe. Split it in four. Now blow through it. Then block two holes and blow again. Notice a difference? That's how exhausts work.

Only if your using 4 separate pipes. Otherwise it's only going to flow as quickly as the mid section allows.

What if the four pipes are exactly 1/4 of the flow of the center pipe? Therefore shutting each pipe restricts the flow by 25%?

Then it would probably help, but they aren't. It will be a 2.5" or 3" pipe all the way down which is pretty standard.

Yes, because there more engineering reasons for 4 tips than just whether it flows well enough to no pose a restriction

The reason is "looks sick innit bruv". Also to get a nice sound while still being inside legal limits. But you could change the back box to a single outlet and see no difference to performance.

In fact you'll probably find the really high end, custom made race spec exhausts do just that as it saves weight.

But won’t be road legal

Uhh

What. He’s talking about exhausts with no purpose yet the point of it being made to be compliant with road noise drive by and enable two modes of noise seems to be missed.

A race exhaust would make more power but won’t ever be allowed to be standard fit.

At least the tailpipes are connected to the exhaust. Some cars don’t even do that !

No pic, but saw a Seat Ibiza today with the plate BE09 XXX :cool:

Um. OK.

I'm sure I read somewhere they've done this on the new 911 to save costs on insurance repairs from being rear ended, I assume itits to try and stop the manifolds from cracking. With the exhaust being so short, there's not going to be much give. Although I'm sure some do it for emisions.

First Lamborghini Urus I've seen actually on the road. I did walk past it at first.

Jumper118 · 30 Dec 2018 at 21:10

needs to clean his wheels. 100% brake dust coverage.

Blackhawk47 · 30 Dec 2018 at 21:36

Couldn’t tell if it was gloss black paint (but filthy) or some sort of Matt black/grey.

Saw this parked up a few weeks outside St Pancras.
