This one:

http://cgi.ebay.de/Porsche-928-S4_W0...6.c0.m14.l1318

has a Gemballa exhaust with 6 tips, I have no idea how it is routed, and why that number of tips.

I think it's just for the look. Most double tips doesn't change anything to the mechanic.
6? Nah. Just for fun. Could try something like 16 tips. 2 per cylinder.

Of course the 928 would have 6 exhaust tips.
Everyone knows it's best to run 1 exhaust for each cylinder.

No No, they are of different lengths so there is distinctive musical roar down the road

I think it is 2 on each side for the engine. The additional pipe on each side is connected directly to the front sides in case the owners eat Mexican on Saturday nights.

Since the wide areas are already cut for the three pipes, I think I would change the exhaust tips to the camaro-like single flat ones. Anyone ever seen them on a 928? If it was done right, it might look stealthfully cool, .......maybe....

My guess is that at least 2 if not 4 are dummies.

Anything square or close to a right angle on the 928 ruins its lines.
