Wondering if anyone is familiar with this rear bumper or have known anyone who has installed it on their 5.5 Gen? I'm curious as to whether it is a direct fit or if cutting had to be done, including can it handle the stock muffler? Also, if anyone knows about the durability of the product (i.e. is it gonna split and crack 1 year from now)?

I've seen that on some other Maximas. The exhaust seems to fit, but I haven't heard anything good about Duraflex. Seems to be a rule of thumb that urethane is the best material to have bumpers/lips made of since it's durable, flexible, and forgiving. This means that it fits better and won't crack. Stillen is the only brand that I've seen makes parts out of this material. Little bit pricier, but lasts forever. Notice that there are a lot of different brands that make that rear bumper, as well as the other ground effects.

I wanted that rear at one point, but it kind of hit me that it's a little flashy for my personal tastes, and it wasn't made as well as Stillen's body kit.

Overall, these cheaper body kits tend to be a big pain to install and aren't durable. So yeah, it will likely require cutting and a lot of adjustment to fit.

 

Looks really ricey. That's just my opinion. I'd try to find something like this:

 

Yeah, the second is the Stillen rear valence, and the third is the AE rear valence. Both are great since they just fit onto the original bumper. Easy as that.
