Why such a big exhaust on the Griso

[jihem]

I love so much my Griso that i tend to forget I loathed that exhaust while i was simply looking at the bike, before owning it.

I actually think the sound is rather muffled, ok, but has a nice grasp when you throttle down after a good acceleration.

 

Now, this is just a question for knowledge sake: does anyone know why this exhaust has been designed as such (with two outputs, one large and one small) ?

the designer thought it looked good and different, just like the rest of the Griso.

If it was on a Japanese bike I would suggest that the designer was taking advantage of various acoustic principles to achieve better noise cancellation and flow. But on a Guzzi I suspect the designer thought it looked cool as mentioned.

The size is a question of muffling capability, but the dual outputs......looks.
