The i8 has Active Sound outside as well as inside the vehicle. That metal pipe on the left side behind the grille is where the speaker is for the vroom vroom noises you hear outside the car.
I realize that what I just typed sounds like a joke but I’m serious. First time I had an i8 on the lift I figured that could not be an actual exhaust pipe since the plastic grille in front of it would melt so I looked inside and could see the wiring and speaker in there. Maybe they put this external ASD inside a fake metal exhaust tip to help it sound more like a real exhaust note?
