I saw a nice looking cab with a center dual tip exhaust from a distance at Hersey this year. Anyone here? Would love to hear more about the car; this picture is pretty poor but the best I could do with an iphone from so far back.

It looked like they filled the normal exhaust cut out in the rear bumper and moved it down below the license plate. I agree the spare wheel well would have been in the way.

Personally I like to stock look, but I'm also a fan of other well engineered approaches. Cars that have a daul exhaust on either side often appear to have a visually wider rear end which I wouldn't prefer on a cabriolet.

Yes I like one on each side too and on top makes it even better!

Since we're talking about this. Here's a photoshop mockup with some concepts I made last week.
Not professionally done in any way, just 15 minutes in PS. (I have a better file on my other computer)
I'd love to actually have the bottom one made, dual exhaust is so damn cool. (The car used as a model is my 968)

Don't prefer one over the other (Dual center v. 7-10 split), but I think the center setup updates the look. Ala the Boxster/Cayman.
Side note.. what's the yellow car to the right of the 968? 350Z?

Looks like one of the newer hardtop BMW Z4 convertibles.

Still my favorite .. and it's not photoshopped , it's the real thing. But not sure about its impact to power or to sound ..

Looks a lot like the exhaust setup on the V8 Supercharged Jaguar F-Type (they use a center dual tip for the Supercharged V6 models)
