Ultimate exhaust tip for the IS-F (see picture)
with all this talk of alternative exhausts I still believe it's best to have an exhaust that is NOT attached to the bumper for obvious reasons.
Everyone is trying to "market" different exhausts for this car and I think each of them are going about it the wrong way (tanabe, etc).
I love my JoeZ exhaust and think it's perfect - just need to change up the look of the rear exhaust tips. I'm surprised no one has come up with a single bigger exhaust tip (aka Lamborghini and Bugatti)
I think a single fat exhaust tip that is shaped to flow with the stock bumper would look simply MENACING!!!!
Snapped this the other day, perfect tip but just need to shape it a bit to fit the IS-F openings

Thanks Rick!!!
The trick is going to be on getting the internal part to be shapped "bowl" like the OEM piece.
Now, take a look at this finishing piece on the new 2010 Camaro...
I saw a Silver one just yesterday, like below..
The only visual problem was the round tips inside the square box..

So the Veyron's essentially a priceless 1,000+ hp QUAD turbo 16 cylinder behemoth removing all of that engines exhaust out of that single "tip". I GUARANTEE there is a ridiculous amount of technology built into that simple piece of equipment and how it functions with respect to the mufflers, etc. You can't just slap any fabricated piece on to the end of a high performance exhaust. It may look pretty but if it isn't functional then forget it.

JoeZ: I was studying the inner bowl section of the oem IS-F setup and I would think it can't be that hard to construct something out of sheetmetal if need be. The trick would be to shape it so it's not so obvious from behind that it's just a single muffler behind the massive tip. I think the Lambo and Bugatti masks it well but the Camaro doesn't do as well since you can obviously see right into the tip
This is what Damage suggests with the Lambo setup and I think a nice thick tip that FOLLOWS the lines of our stock bumper so it would be an offset square essentially.
