looks good mike. reminds me of wilson's exhaust setup:



i think we're all scared to cut into our oem bumpers because it'll look ugly or not turn out the way we want it to be. but i think it's a must otherwise say goodbye to your canisters cause they'll just get shaved off till it's thin enough to make a hole. that is why i'll probably get exhaust tips welded straight to the pipes instead of an exhaust with canisters. gives you a bit more clearance if you're slammed in the rear.

That's what I did after nearly ruining a brand new set of vintage LSportline mufflers. now the only things that ever scrape are the very tips.
