OMG! That exhaust looks hideous. This should be a total joke.

Nico says that it hasn't made a difference to the sound of the car.

It doesn't work and it looks awful. I am sorry for the sound addicts, but it ruins the whole beautiful rear end of the car.

Looks like a kindergarten art. :mrgreen:

And that tailpipe is quite eye-catching thing.
While everyone are looking at the exhaust, other things can be flown under the radar. :wink:

Are they trying to preserve what they've got (showing how ridiculous it is) or are they trying to work on a real solution (not this joke) to create more down-force (using this stupid idea of "Motorhead souding like") ?
It seems they are having fun about it:

The solution is so simple. We did it as school boys. A piece of bicycle tube and a stick from a frozen sucker. F1 exhaust is a bit bigger so use a motorcycle or car inner tube. Nice video of the result.

The posts in this thread came from the W05 thread. I'm wary of moving too many posts into an established thread because it is too disruptive, so OMG-what-an-assault-on-aesthetic-sensibilities posts are preserved here for posterity.

Please do join the technical conversation on exhaust acoustics :arrow: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... =1&t=18631
