They're disconnected because you can't have an exhaust connected to a static part of the car, i.e. the rear bumper. The exhaust needs to be free to move around on its hangers under load and whatnot (best example is on Corvettes, those quad tips seem to go up and down like crazy during a launch). So in order to achieve that look of integrated exhaust tips, they just point the outlets through holes in the bumper.
