Exactly. It may be different staff in a different department or business entity, but from a consumer standpoint there's no difference. (And I'd be shocked if there weren't people at GR who used to work in TRD.)
My biggest question is whether the bolt-on exhaust "upgrade" you can buy from the dealership is going to do anything other than look/sound different. The description I've read in articles (since Toyota can't be bothered to pretend this car is a real thing and publish their own information on their own website) suggest it's a purely cosmetic upgrade.
I don't mind a different/better look/sound, but if it doesn't DO anything I may as well save my money and just buy a big NOS sticker or something like that. At least those add HP, right?
