8 Woeful Fake Exhaust Tips We’ve Seen Lately

Those of you who’ve been with us a while will know that this isn’t the first time we’ve compiled a list of offenders when it comes to crimes against exhaust design. A few years ago we highlighted seven sinners with pointless, and slightly embarrassing, fake tips.

Sadly the trend still hasn’t burned in the fires of Hades like we want it to. We’ve seen a glut of them again lately and it’s name-and-shame time again. Sit back and let your blood slowly (or quickly) boil over yet another batch of shamefully-designed rear ends.

Porsche’s new GT2 RS
Although i have been told that there is an engineering reason behind it. Something to do with it acting as a heat barrier…
