Exhaust system
Help my get my head around this. The F40 had a V8, which makes me think there are 8 pipes along the exhaust manifold, then it has three tail pipes; one round, two oval. What kind of crazy pretzels-playing-Twister pipeworks are in the back of this car? The handful of pictures I've seen of the engine compartment has the three tailpipes coming out of a huge capsule of a muffler, if that's even what it is.
The perfect answer is gonna need a cut-away diagram, I'm thinking... |

Hey Silver!
Not sure if they have diagrams and what not, but they have a bunch of F40 specs and info and pics. Take a look. Hope it helps. http://www.ferrarif40.dabsol.co.uk/F40/F40spec.htm#

Three pipes come out of the collector/expansion chamber, while 2 exhaust pipes (one from each side of the V8) come in.

Is it the only production car in the world with three tailpipes?

It's a twin turbo....i'm pretty sure each of the outer 2 tailpipes were for each turbo, plus a central pipe which combined the twin wastegates???

I doubt you'd see a whole lot under the hood of an F40. Check the link up there. I want that truck!!!!!!!

If you look closely, you can see the three pipes from the large "can" muffler...

Probably nothing, they just added the 3rd pipe for some odd reason.

Here's a pic I took of a F40 engine in Atlanta. This one is quite different, maybe different model years or something. They're gold plated as well.
