it looks like the exaust still exits through dual tips, it just looks like the tips aren't connected to the mufflers. (See behind his hand, the black circle)

How would uoi be able to see the same blue light coming from inside the bumper through the top tip and the mesh grille? I don't think either pipe is connected to the tips.

Isn't this old news?

I thought the pipes were connected on production versions?

That pic was from a pre-production car at a show.

Lexus made a great entry into the segment but much like when the IS first came out it just can't compete with the competition, yet anyways.

Unless of course you put twin turbos on and get 700-750hp

they are essentially connected to the production model. that was pre production.

the car look much better in person then pics. i saw pics of it and it didn's grow on me. but when i saw a black on black in the showroom when i had to pick up my car last night i drooled. definitely a lot better in person then pics.
