What is the pipe coming out of the tail of each motogp bike? I don't think its an exhaust because they have a side exhaust already? If anyone has any idea please post!

Exhaust, it's a V4 = one 2 into 1 pipe on the side, one 2 into 1 pipe under the tail. Google and you'll see a picture of an engine.

They curve it to help with back pressure, mostly increasing down low torque. Sorta like the new yoshi pipes for then Gen 4 zx10r

The welds on that titanium, phwoar......it's indecent. The curve's down to lack of space/routing, don't need much low down torque.
