New Lexus IS-F, to compete against the new M3, RS4, C63. It will have a 5.0-liter direct-injected V8 engine delivers over 400hp and over 350 lb-ft of torque, along with a 0-to-60 time below 4.9 seconds.

Am I the only one who thinks the exhaust just looks TERRIBLE?

ridiculous, as in good or bad?

I have look at it many times and its not growing on me. Its just ugly.

Out of the IS-F, M3, C63, RS4, GTR. This thing is definitely last place.

You guys say that now but it's actually a trend that's beginning to take off. I know Mansory tuned a Bentley with similar exhaust layout.

I actually can't say if I like it or not though.

A BMW with that kind of exhaust set up would pretty much get chewed up in ALL the BMW forums.
