OMG! That exhaust looks hideous. This should be a total joke.

It doesn't work and it looks awful. I am sorry for the sound addicts, but it ruins the whole beautiful rear end of the car.

Looks like a kindergarten art.

And that tailpipe is quite eye-catching thing.
While everyone are looking at the exhaust, other things can be flown under the radar.

Is it me or MGP is joking ? Everyone working in music or sound industry knows that the megaphone (without amp) is a toy. It looks quite cynical, but I like it. Are they trying to preserve what they've got (showing how ridiculous it is) or are they trying to work on a real solution (not this joke) to create more down-force (using this stupid idea of "Motorhead souding like") ?

It seems they are having fun about it:

The solution is so simple. We did it as school boys. A piece of bicycle tube and a stick from a frozen sucker. F1 exhaust is a bit bigger so use a motorcycle or car inner tube. Nice video of the result.
