Why do some exotic sports cars like this Ferrari have 3 tail pipes? I have heard of single and dual exhausts, but never a triple exhaust. Can someone explain?

3 tips = 3 muffler exits, why not?



Yes it looks bad but I'd still drive it like I stole it.

how is it that this ferarri looks like sh*t yet the new lamborguinea aventudor doesn't look like a wedge of cheese (in other words-... good)



it must be opposite year or something-...



i'm now leaning more towards exhaust note tuning-... lfa also has 3 tips and they spent lots of time w/ yamaha to tune the note of the exhaust.
