Default Has anyone ever cut their rear bumper for exhaust?

Me and a few friends were at a cookout the other night and had our cars all backed in facing the deck. Well I noticed all the cars parked around me had factory exhaust tips (Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LSV8, and an Infinti G35 coupe). Well the guy who drive the Infiniti said that it would be cool if I had a way to cut holes in the bottom part of the bumper and have exhaust tips comming out the rear.

I created a photoshop the other night which is attached...and I think so too. Don't ask about the tiny size, I had to keep cropping and making the image smaller to upload it.

Has anyone done this? and if so...how?

Yes, I used a my 4.5 angle grinder to cut out with a 1/32 wheel and then fine tuned it with a dremmel with the drum sanding disc ... and with not paint damage...........Remember to use double wall exhaust tips and you will not have any heat problems around the bumper area.
