Series.blue differences

Besides the sti items does anyone know if the BRZ series.blue has a different exhaust or different tips? I have seen that it does, but from odd sites that I would of clicked on if I knew what they looked like, haha.
I was just trying to figure out the actual differences if any other than the obvious.

The Series.Blue has the same tips as any other 2015 FRS or BRZ.

The Series.Blue also has underbody panels, which I'm pretty sure no other North American 86 had.

That is what I thought. I haven't actually looked at another BRZ to be able to confirm, or hadn't.

I didn't trust the sites I saw that info on and was pretty sure it was the rims, (red painted -LAME) brakes, and "aero" kit, or lowering kit, w.e they call it.

Ya that any person can look at and see the differences. I would not count the exhaust since it is kind flush with the rear-end. Trolling?

To answer your question extremely specifically.....YES, ALL 2015 models have larger exhaust tips than the previous two years.

OP I've also wondered about the differences. Not just the ones that were in the brochure but any hidden ones. I had a 1994 Miata R and there was a rumor that the motors were picked from the highest output ones at factory. It's these kind of differences that OP is worried about.

This forum has a fundamental problem which is its youth. With its youth you get a lot of answers like "you bought the wrong car" or "didn't you know before you bought?" That kind of attitude is what separates a trendist vs. enthusiast. i think the OP's question deserves more than an asinine response like he's gotten. If this car is an idol or something you worship... Don't join a forum. Forums are about discussion.

Thanks man! You are exactly right some changes are hard to find like year to year differences when the body doesn't change.
With the info I got on the web it was nice knowing the tips might be bigger so that it would be worthwhile to post a stock exhaust vid for those wondering if there was a difference. I would like to do one before I change it but if they are the same as all the others I figured there was no point. So its nice to find any differences (like plastic screws changed to non plastic screws) that aren't listed and just knowing the exhaust note may be different.

Thanks! Def an enthusiast here, but cars aren't my career and have only been a hobby since 09 when I didn't care about modding so much. Forgive my newbness which is another reason I am here.

All the 15's came w/ the bigger exhaust tips, not just the series blue. Since someone already posted a link to the series blue features, here's what was new on ALL 2015 brzs:
