I have two of these sticking out of the back bumper insert things, one on each side. Anybody know what they are? Some kind of bike rack?

I tell people they are the oil and smokescreen nozzles for the bad guy evasion system. I do have a bike rack that I'll never use, too lazy to pedal. PM if anyone interested.

For sure it's the MINIFINI sports link system.

When I had it on my R53 random people would either ask why I had 4 exh tips or what they were for so I'd make up something all the time.
