"Lexus IS-F not the only one with fake exhaust tips.. "

« on: February 09, 2009, 07:55:01 PM »

In a quest to make myself feel better (not really, but... ), here is a great thread on all the other 'fake' exhausts out there.

It's funny, when Audi does it on their flagship R8 it's okay..

No, since someone else who worked with IS-F dev team before the car was released had explained the reason to me a few months ago.

Even if they are completely fake/detached/serve no purpose what-so-ever; I like them.. and the exhaust sounds great.

And allegedly the A8 W12! You should go see about the S8's exhaust!

Its still lame on the R8, but at least they're not molded as a single piece with the bumper so be easier to swap for a real exhaust.
