Is this another set of exhaust pipes

I thought that this was kind of weird to have another set of exhaust pipes coming out the back. Anyone ever see this before?

Could you post a photo, it would help if we could see what exactly you're talking about.

Wow! That’s different.... they are either rear facing machine guns or someone installed a spare motor in the back from an old VW bug?
Joking, I have no clue why they would do that, but it is definitely unique!

Well you could crawl under the car to see where they come from, it is odd though.
P.S. is this your car or is it on a used car lot, or is this some random mini you came across?

Yes that is the MINIFINI sportlink system. There was several attachments that would go in so you could have a hitch, bike rack, spare tire carrier, or luggage rack.

I had one on my last R53 and it was great.
