Exhaust Pipes 22 SS-1LE

Has anybody else noticed that the exhaust pipes are pinched in half as they go by the differential? I assume it's to keep the differential fluid cooler but come on!

TL;DR: factory exhaust is the same for the coupe and the vert, and the latter has an underbody X brace, hence the crimped sections; they are unsightly but have 0 impact on performance except maybe very-very high hp builds.

In general, for many different kinds of cars, people vastly overestimate how big of an exhaust they need for a certain amount of HP.
