umm i hacksawed the bumper then your find the door trim(rubber surrounding) and put a piece over the cut so it looks smooth be sure not to get the exhaust to close to the rubber though, as for flow depends on how you install, if you just tap in the original pipe then you wont have as much as a consistant flow than the original exhaust

CleanMax98, that hole on the left is a little off. Look at the line on the lower portion of the bumper. Look how the stock hole (on the right) is very close to it. The hole on the left seems about an 1" off below the line. Just an observation.

Well, it will be tricky. How did you measure and cut the hole you have now? If you cut a bit higher, the left cutout will definitely look slightly different from the right. There's no way around it, unless you get a new rear bumper cover and make sure you mark the area that you are going to cut out. And make sure you step back far enough and carefully make sure that it lines up correctly with the cut-out on the right.

instead of gettin the dual exhuast from custommaxima.org , u think it wud be a good idea to buy some really nice mufflers like magnaflow or something and then get custom piping made for the cat back? My buddy got his pipe custom made at a muffler shop and they made a T pipe instead of a y pipe so im kinda sketchy going places like that? What do u guys think?? Thanks !

Do you want a spare tire? If not, you can bash in the spare tire well and put another muffler there... but why?

Keep thinking that... when you have to wait an hour for someone to tow you. Your rendering yourself useless.
