As I said earlier in the thread, I'm not sure why so many people are saying Ferrari will bring the RB8 style exhaust to their car.
It's not all roses and daisies with the exhaust - it probably adds quite a bit of drag with all the extra boundary layers, as well as choking at extreme high speeds. Lastly as with everything in Formula 1 - nothing this big ever works as a "bolt on," "just add water" type upgrade.
As I said earlier in the thread:

It seems like quite a big conceptual change rather than just an implementation change, and they'd waste more time tuning it - time they could use to do up setups for a better qualifying and race instead. Of course on the long run the new exhaust would probably pay out (if they saw fit to change to it in the first place) but in the context of the current title hunt, not sure.
Red Bull of late have really stepped up their game and shown that they have a capability of relentless development - since Singapore they've brought updates to all 3 races, and they've all seemingly worked at first go. If a team with that development capacity had trouble developing and actually getting this tunnel system to work in the first place - what of the Ferrari with their ailing CFD and windtunnel facilities?
To add on, even though their current exhaust was raced the first time it appeared at a race weekend, it had the luxury of 3 days of testing at Mugello.
As for Massa's exhaust in Korea... this is one of those moments you're grateful you kept a 720p copy of the race. (You can right click and view image for the full 720p glory

Here's another angle, where you can clearly see daylight under the exhaust (indicating there is no tunnel):
