The Camry features dual exhaust pipes. Below is an introduction to the functions of the exhaust pipe: Exhaust: It discharges the exhaust gases produced by the engine, reduces pressure, and is a crucial guarantee for the continuous operation of a vehicle. Noise Reduction: Throughout the entire exhaust system, there are two muffler systems. The first is the exhaust manifold that expels the engine's exhaust gases, and the second is the main muffler at the tail end of the exhaust pipe. After these two steps of noise reduction, the sound of the exhaust gases can be reduced to a reasonable range. Pollution Reduction: It filters exhaust gases to reduce pollution. There is a three-way catalytic converter in the middle of the exhaust pipe. The substances within it can chemically react with harmful components in the exhaust gases, thereby reducing air pollution from emissions.

I've been driving a Camry for many years. My previous one was a 2017 LE model with a single exhaust outlet, just one on the left side, which looked quite ordinary. Later, I upgraded to a 2020 XSE model, which features dual exhaust with one outlet on each side, giving it a more sporty design. Toyota has added this feature to higher trim models to make the rear look cooler, but it's different from 'dual exhaust' as there's only one outlet per side. Newer models like the TRD follow a similar design. If you're concerned about this when choosing a car, you can check the specifications carefully or directly observe the rear of the actual vehicle—LE models usually have a single exhaust, while SE and XSE models have dual exhaust. The Camry isn't a performance car, so the exhaust changes are mainly for aesthetics, and there's no difference in driving experience. It's quite practical and easy to maintain. Overall, just choose based on your budget and aesthetic preferences.

As someone who frequently works on cars, I've noticed that the Camry's exhaust pipe configurations vary across different trims. In the 2023 model year, the LE trim typically features a single-side exhaust, while the SE and XSE trims come standard with a dual-side design, with one exhaust outlet on each side—not a true dual-exit structure. This means the term 'dual-standard dual-exit' isn't entirely accurate, as the factory dual-side exhaust is commonly found on sportier versions. When checking, it's helpful to glance at your vehicle's manual or use the VIN to identify the trim level. A simple method is to crouch down and see if there are two exhaust pipes distributed on the left and right sides beneath the rear wheel fenders. This design doesn't affect performance but enhances visual appeal, with maintenance focusing on preventing rust at the connection points. Overall, the Camry's exhaust system is reliable and rarely problematic.

As a classic family sedan, the Camry's exhaust pipe style varies by trim. Higher trims like the XSE feature dual exhaust with one outlet on each side, giving the rear a wider and more dynamic look—moderate compared to some Accord versions. The factory doesn't offer dual quad-tip designs, as that would be too aggressive for its positioning. I drove a friend's 2019 Camry SE, and the dual exhaust significantly boosted its stylish appeal while remaining quiet during operation, mainly enhancing curb appeal when parked. Though aftermarket modifications are trendy, they're not recommended due to illegality and potential risks. In short, opting for higher trims is the way to get the dual-exhaust appearance.
