cutting the rear bumper

whats sup?
so, my stock muffler has just about bit the big one and I've been looking at the replacements for a little while now. What I'm wondering is if anybody has run a dualtip muffler and cut the rear bumper hole out to make it look good.
I really prefer that style of muffler versus the single tip style. I went looking on cardomain today and could not find anything.

something like that one is what I'm looking for.
If you've done this, what did it cost you and can you put up a picture of the end result?
Thanks

I want the DUAL TIP muffler, not the dual exhaust. There would be only one hole, it would be bigger that's all.
I was hoping to do this and still be able to use the stillen rear valances.
On a side note, does anybody know if street sceens is still selling their stillen look-a-like kit for our cars?
If they are is there any differences?

I actually had the same thought, I have a nice dual tip just waiting to go on, but i havent decided if I really want to cut it or not. If you figure out what you plan on doing let me know, it will influence my decision.

People have done it search for pics of peoples cars with the 5th gen muffler on it. Thats the dual tip so it would prob look something like that.

Thanks guys for the input. I was hoping for some pictures... I'm gonna head to the local body shop on teusday and see how much it costs to cut the hole bigger in the rear bumper. I'll let everyone know on tuesday.
Maybe I'll see if anyone around here can photoshop it for me???

I went to the bodyshop today and the guy said that they could cut the bumper but it would look really bad and he could not finish it to look like the factory cutout at all. It would basically look like he took a sawzall to it and that would be that.
I decided to stick to the single tip design for my car.
