I just posted the picture of the R8's exhaust not being connected. When you take the bumper off, the tips are not connected to the exhaust, but it is connected to the bumper. Isn't that enough proof.
Like i said, the ISF exhaust is not connected just like on the R8 and the Murci.
Here are tips on the R8 that is connected on the bumper cover.
And here are the actual exaust tips that are not connected on the bumper tips.
