Re: Rear bumper exhaust cutout

Nice work, well executed, but to me, it just doesn't "fit" the car.
Can you post a pic of how the pipes are routed underneath?

Re: Rear bumper exhaust cutout

I like it a lot - looks good!
The bumper stripes make it look off-center, but it probably is centered since it aligns well with the license plate housing.

Before

After


Exhaust running under the differential

I did this as a temporary solution to an issue with the exhaust hanging too low. I posted it to show what I did to to address the problem. If you don’t like this, you certainly will not like what comes next for the rear of this car. Shaved bumper and a diffuser.
