Default IS500 exhaust question

This is a different one I swear.

I stopped by Lexus San Diego because they have a 2023 Molten Pearl for sale. It's CPO so i wanted to get a good look at it. I noticed the exhaust has titanium tips. So I say to the sales guy "I think this has an aftermarket exhaust?" And he in turn says "No that's how this version came, this was a special order package." So I'm like "Well you dont say huh.? Interesting."

So I can't find anything or maybe my search parameters aren't hitting right. I haven't heard or seen this.
anyone know this to be true?

Here is the car.

I also noticed it has the front bumper separated. So it'll need to get that fixed. I wonder how this made CPO....

This is the same one that was on sale at a Ford, Chevy? dealership not too long ago. They priced it at like $62k and slowly dropped it to about 58k over a few months. It disappeared for a few months, so either it was auctioned and sold to Lexus San Diego, or someone bought it and traded it in a month later.

Someone was asking about the exhaust back then as well when it was at the Ford dealership (I think it was Ford, or Chevy). It is an aftermarket exhaust, typical Lexus sales, don't know much about their own cars.
