What kind of exhaust does the IS 350 pace car have? It doesn't look stock!

Would make sense for the pace car to have the same exhaust, wheels and brake setup as the blue IS350 that went around the autoshows last year did.

Actually, it wouldn't make too much sense. TeamLexus built that blue IS350. This is Toyota Motorsports that built the pace car. The TeamLexus car had the Lexus/HKS exhuast or the TeamLexus Borla Exhuast. The pace car uses the Tanabe exhuast. Also, the wheel setup is a little different. The pace car is actually running 20" rims in the rear and 19" rims in the front. Whereas the TeamLexus car had 19" rims all around.

Toyota Motorsports has been exclusively using BBS wheels on their pace cars for more than 15 years already.
