[/QUOTE]no, cutting is not required to the bumper. but if u dont mind spending the money then do it. it definitely looks more flush without the muffler having to droop down a little. any custom shop shouldnt take more than an hr to cut, weld and create a custom hanger for u.[/QUOTE]

Nice! Do you have another pic of your car from a more closeup side view and/or back view of the muffler area? My car is slightly more lowered than yours and my only concern if I ask the muffler guy to make a custom hanger so it drops lower, is that i might end up scraping it when i go over any speed bumps or steep driveways. My goto indy shop shares a shop with a muffler shop. Think it's worth a trip down there tomorrow to get an estimate on the work.

white and whiter
magnaflow is not the best idea for small displacement engine. a HKS universal would probably work better and sounds 10x better.

i heard a magnaflow on a 230k. it didnt sound too bad. one the ricey side tho.

also i would suggest going to a body shop to get your bumper cut for those tips. i think it will a lot sportier. i am not fond of that drooping exhaust. although, there is no real benefit of cutting the rear.

i was gonna get quad tipped ti burnt ones, but i dont think it will looks good on a silver car.
