FTP mufflers... fitment/clearance issues?

I bought the ftp catback system from somebody local and went to go get it installed today but found some problems. The shop is worried about how far the muffler pushes into the rear bumper and says they may bulge out if they weld them in there? Wont this be a problem with heat transfer to the bumper too? Anyone have pics of these installed or tips/hints for fitment of this system?

Sorry for the lack of help, brother. We have had many issues with FTP's customer service and sh*tty products on this forum. You are going to have to rig the exhaust to work.........just like everything else that dude sells.

I didn't know they had an exhaust system.

Anyone have any actual experience with it?

They look like Magnaflows which they probably are, I wouldn't pay retail for them.
