It doesn't seem like the production version has them. Just look at the lines in the show version, ignore the orange. Still ugly.

Second gen exhausts seem to sound and perform better than those that release with a brand new vehicle. Not saying I'd wait. But this is actually an interesting discussion. The early entrants to the market will inevitably sell for as high as possible because consumer options will be somewhat limited, and they'll want to recover R&D costs. But based on the anticipated enthusiast market for this vehicle competition could get stiff quite quickly and pricing very competitive.

And personally I'll wait for a few months until we get some sound samples up on the forum or on YouTube etc.

agreed even years later the latest S2000 and K20 (civic Si, RSX etc..) exhausts are miles ahead of the first releases performance and price.

I'm hoping for something Spoon N1-ish or T1R EM-70. Basic and single exit

Mmmmmm, I would totally rock a 3 tip exhaust 458 style.
And yeah competition will get tough fast, I'm not buying any exhaust until I hear a sound clip.

Well, not only that, but as someone who early adopted exhausts in the past, "fitment" is a huge concern, with even big vendors like Greddy/HKS/etc having fitment issues with the exhausts rubbing or hangers breaking/rattling.

I'm surprised no one has mention how that Prova diffuser mounts. It obviously replaces the stock one, but does that mean you have to cut it out or is it removable? I'm pretty sure the stock diffuser is molded to the bumper skin as one piece thought I could be wrong.
