DODGE CHALLENGER TAILPIPE CORRECTION... MAYBE?
I have analyzed the quad pipe/dual pipe situation a little more closely. It pains me to say it but I personally have to file it back into the unknown category. People may choose to agree to disagree but my rationale is below for those interested:
It's hard to explain but I will do my best. Almost all of the footage we have, including Candace's releases are pictures taken of computer/TV screens displaying videos from security cameras. Thus the footage is running through multiple layers of degradation to begin with AND being broadcast over YouTube with further data compression. This is not good for trying to analyze anything relatively small on screen.
The shot of the Dodge Challenger as it enters in the parking garage that Candace released yesterday appears to have "quad tips." I thought so too and I still think it's a maybe. However, if I'm being completely honest, I have to admit it could be an optical illusion and I swear I saw it myself this morning by coincidence. I drove past my neighbor's Dodge Challenger (picture below cropped in). I took it from a side angle similar to the parking lot (although I was in my car on the street and the security cameras are high up) and the hole in the center of the exhaused seems to eminate from the side of the car I was on because it is recessed within the exhaust tip by a few inches.
The main source of light in the parking garage on that image is the light coming from outside (sunlight) which is relatively blue/cool (approximately 5600-6000 on the kelvin scale) compared to the warmer lights of the garage which are relatively warm (my guess is 3200-4000 Kelvin). The "blue" sunlight is blasting on the back of the car and could be illuminating that visible section to the left of the tailpipe's hole enough to make it appear like the chrome divider that would be there if it were a "quad tip" exhaust. If you look closely, the angle of the blue light is coming from relatively low (obviously, it's morning) and you can see that by how the shadow is cast from the car itself (forward relative to the car). Just look how strongly the rear end of the car is lit compared to the side. From all this footage degradation, we may be seeing an optical illusion as the car is driving past the camera which might explain why it disappears when you see the car from the rear. I cannot stress enough how much the exposure of the sun's light and relatively blue color could be creating this effect. Security cameras already don't have great dynamic range (the ability to capture details in the very bright and very dark parts of an image) so a lot of times, the bright parts just look white (or nearly white) and the dark parts look black (or nearly black). That loss of detail in the bright/dark parts of the image plus all the loss from how this image is collected could explain the anomoly.
To try and explain this more clearly, I made a diagram in the first photo trying to show the individual parts of light and dark that could account for this effect. In the second photo, I used a photoshop brush to (very, very poorly) simulate what light would look like hitting that left dark spot on my neighbor's car if the sun were blasting on it which appears offset to the left of the hole at that angle. Then I just downscaled the image in photoshop and re-upscaled it a couple times to simulate what happens when you get the kind of horrible pixelation/degredation we're seeing in the images that are coming out. The third image is just a crop of my neighbor's car. and the fourth image is a screenshot from Candace's show.
This post is not disproving the quad tailpipes but it is enough for me to say I would need to see a higher quality photo to be sure. As
@baroncoleman has said, we should strive to be as honest as possible.
Thank you to
@beauhightowerdn for posting that photo that happened to stick in my mind as I drove by my neighbor's car.
