Default How does NPP exhaust flow?

It looks like the cut-out flappers are inside the two inner exhaust tips. Does all exhaust exit the two outer exhaust tips only when the NPP is closed?
I'm just guessing.

Yes, when closed, exhaust flows out the 2 outside tips only. When open, flows out all 4, but due to less resistance, almost all goes out the 2 inner (which is a straight shot through the muffler).
