FWIW (and Jay's salesman is totally right if it's the case)
Quote:
During testing of the IS-F, they originally had a classic twin tip can design but at high speeds the car became
so unstable because of the turbulence that developed in that area of the car. The test drivers told the engineers
that they needed to change something to make it more stable at higher speeds. So, through testing they now
have the current configuration of quad stacked exhaust tips with diffuser panels around them and air foils under
the trunk belly. This significantly changes the air flow in that area of the car and made it much more stable at high speeds.

Could be a total marketing spin, but the aerodynamic reasoning is sound.
