doesn't the exhaust actually come off each side of the engine - then dump into a single pipe and then split later into 2

First, congratulations on a car that was ahead of its time. Did you ever notice how a movie might get poor reviews, you go to see it anyway, and come away saying, what were they so upset about? I am in your court on the style of the 2012.. BUT GET THIS!!! I notice a lot of reviews talk about the ability to double shift the 2012 6 speed auto! So a quick double click of the paddle will shift it from 6th to 4th, or from say 5th to 3rd! So yesterday I was out on a windy road in eastern San Diego County and tried it on my 2010 SH-AWD. I was in 5th gear doing about 50 MPH. I was approaching a curve that read 35 MPH, so I double clicked the downshift paddle and , WOW, it shifted from 5th right into 3rd, took the curve perfectly then hit the accelerator about 70% into the turn and climbed right back up to full speed. Now I may have missed this, but before this I would click once, 5th to 4th, then click again 4th to 3rd... So it does work folks, and now makes my driving enjoyment 100% better!!! BTW, as for the 2012 being an olds man style, it must be for VERY OLD folks, as I am 63 and love the 2010, but was turned off by the 2012 style.. I grew up in the 60's, GTO, 4 plus 4, 427, 327, and I love the Dual Quads exhaust of the 2010, 2011... When they took those off in 2012, as they say they Toned It Down way to much.. The 2012 is like a baby RL these days... Enjoy your new car, and don't forget that double down shift left paddle!! 
approach a curve 2 quick clicks on the paddle to shift down and power through curve and then 2 more to put it back in high gear once on the straight away

I'm not sure. To be honest, I really love the look and ride of it the way it is, but I'm coming from driving a 04 TSX, so I'm still on cloud nine lol. I'm not that big into modding, but I am adding window tint soon. For me, the car is great the way it is. I do need some winters for next year though lol.
