Gemballa GT wrecked in France

A couple things- if you look at the photo above, you notice that the drivers side outboard tip is bent/broken at the valance at a severe angle- if it were attached to a pipe, the angle wouldn't be so severe IMO. Also look at the passenger side outboard pipe- it's not in line with the real pipe next to it. It may have been dislodged by the shunt. Both inboard pipes are still perfectly aligned while the outboard "fakes" are askew.
Also, take a look at this video at around 1:25. You'll notice that there is no exhaust coming out of the outboard tips on startup, while the standard car's inboard tips have exhaust.

I thought about this a little more last night:
How would the headers be fabricated to run a true quad exhaust on a V10 with 5 cylinders per side? 3 into one and 2 into one? It doesn't make sense from a performance and engineering standpoint.
Also, searching the interwebs last night, I couldn't find a single picture of an exposed Gemballa GT engine, let alone the header setup. It seems to me that if they spent the time and money re-engineering the CGT's exhaust setup that Gemballa would be showing everyone and their brother the setup. Just sayin'.

There is a quote that comes to mind when I see that guys face in the picture. Its from Grandma's Boy for any of you who have seen it. Its the part where JP is talking in his robot voice and says "mmm, I hate your face." Its a bit off topic but that is the first thing that came into my head when I saw the picture and I loled.
