More tips = more powaaaaaaa!!

A fashion statement? It looks good on some cars. BMW has been doing this for years with their M division. I agree it has no performance benefit.

Perhaps a twin turbo motor with two waste gates? Usually, on the single turbo motors the right pipe is the exhaust and the left is just the waste gate from the turbo.

Do not be so sensible.

a classic, over-compensating case of tip-envy.

Looks like it should be able to play tunes, a la fairground organ. Perhaps the rear spoiler houses a keyboard?

I really think the Focus system would improve the torque on the 964 -

I agree with the twin turbo waste gate.....but that just is horrible, my turbo waste gate just went down under the car, the guy that bought it welded it into the silencer and it sounded great.
