I love the new terrys setup!
Commodores have the twin also on even the SV6 but the fords ( minus FPV's ) always have a bloody single *SIGH

Yep, one in each rear guard.

If you ever owned a V12 Jag you'd know why they needed two tanks

New Territory is a single exit exhaust on the drivers' side.

the rear bumper has fake looking outlets that many it look like a twin system.
Look a bit closer ... the muffler and downward pointing tip are a straight carry-over from SX/SY models.

I had a thought today about this. Any link between having the exhaust on one side of the car and the filler on the side because of petrol spills is only a secondary consequence. IMO if that is a true link, its because of the undercar packaging, where the exhaust cant be too close to the fuel tank and thus the fuel tank is moved to one side of the car to allow the exhaust on the other. The filler cap then will be on the closest side to the tank.
