It's kind of stupid that they come from the factory with the stock exhaust on the car only to remove the exhaust at port.
It's more than likely in response to some ridiculous import restriction we have in the US - that a car has to be in a saleable condition when it arrives, regardless of what's being done to kit it out before it hits dealer lots.

It's not unlike what Ford was having to do with the Transit Connect - importing them with a full wagon interior that they later tore out to convert them to "van" configuration. Laws that were passed when we had currency issues back in the day.
