to break it down further, you post an article saying that the exhaust tips are functional as proof that 1.1 was wrong, but only 2 posts ahead of you he said that they were in fact functional.
and further...

As you posted, the picture clearly shows that the tips are separate from the muffler.

You seem to be defining 'connected' obscurely. Or maybe you think 1.1 is suggesting that theres a 5 foot gap between the exhaust and the tips. I don't know anything about this exhaust other than what's been said in this thread, but here's how I understand it. the tips are mounted in the bumper, and the exhaust basically slides into them or something. 1.1 can correct me if I'm wrong, but you cannot. You do realize that he's a lexus tech and pretty much has to know this kind of stuff? You're just some dude with Google. It seems silly to me to even bother trying to argue about it.
To summarize, don't accuse others of having poor reading skills when that is the very thing that you makes you...
