I have the stock pipes fitted...its always the inner most pipes that dribble....after a while it actually stains the paintwork...requires a little bit of compuond to get the marks out |

Jason - have you got a sports exhaust on your car? |

Don't forget the transmission of these cars are in the back and the center for the car.. I'm sure about the 550, but I know the 360's right in the middle.... |

I guess I am the only one bothered by this, but the first thing I look at on a car that interests me is the panel lines and fit. It still bugs me. |

I don't mind the layout, but I wish they had made the tailpipes longer on the 360, I hate the way the exhaust dribbles on to the paintwork below!!! |

I think the layout (when done properly) looks great too. |

They may not be centred but they are typically symmetrical nonetheless.
The end pipes on the 550 are pointed away from the centre of the car. But the 360s point straight out.
It is likely to be this way so prevent the hot exhaust from melting paintwork or damaging the surrounding areas.
To stop this happening you can purchase carbon fibre surrounds to fit on the existing bodywork around the end pipe areas.
The thing is - I've seen some fairly bent alignments which can make to whole car look 'wonky.'
The 360's is quite difficult to get right because the end pipes are connected to a single silencer but there's no excuse on a 550. |

I think they look fine just the way they are..
If any of those 2 should have a center exaust pipe it should be the 360 for a racier look |

Why aren't the exhaust pipes centered in the rear openings, I love the cars but this really bugs me. Am I the only one bothered by this? |
