Right on both counts: it's an odd V8 exhaust setup on a 2.5TD, and I do need a new camera...

Since I didn't see who the car's owner was, no idea if he actually went into the trouble of setting-up two rear boxes, or perhaps one is fake. But I suspect that it is a proper dual setup - the left pipe is identical to the right one and seems a little out of place compared to the location of the original pipe.
