Siiiggghhhh...
As you posted, the picture clearly shows that the tips are separate from the muffler.
BTW: who the fuck cares? There is so much more to the vehicle than stupid fucking exhaust tips. How about the transmission that upshifts in .02 seconds (which is actually badass and works well), the 5.0 V8 engine tunned by Yamaha, the brembo 6 piston front calipers, ect ect ect ect ect... No one cares about exhaust tips, its all about the numbers and the fact that car is on par with the new M3. I think thats a milestone considering its lexus' first REAL performance vehicle.
Also, I found out today that one of the IS-F's at my dealer is a demo. I actually got to drive it on dry pavement today. The car is just nasty...
